FYI, if you're against the teaching of Critical Race Theory I'm thinking it's for this reason....

1. You're right. For many, embarrassment of our country's racist history is probably the reason

they're violently opposed to the teaching of Critical Race Theory. The more virulent White Nationalists, the ones who are actively working for a return to the Jim Crow era, view CRT as an existential threat.

2. Is there even one standard definiton of CRT?

I think CRT hysteria is much to do about nothing. I also thinks it's a way for white people to express racist sentiments while being ambiguous even to provide cover for plausible deniability. Someone does not even have to support CRT to be including as supporting CRT by the anti CRT crowd as long they support 1 or 2 elements of it. The controversy over Woke Church by Eric Mason is an example of this. He denies he supports CRT, as far as the critics of his book are concerned he does.

3. Can we change the name from

CRT to American White Nationalist and Nazi Studies?

4. American White Nationalist Studies would really be an appropriate name with no ambiguity. n/t
