Last week, Time magazine’s online version featured a story headlined The Conservative Case Against Banning Critical Race Theory. Oddly enough, its author was a law professor at the University of Chicago, Aziz Huq, who is neither conservative nor terribly sympathetic towards America or American values. The story did not feature anything about “banning” CRT or the conservative case against it.
The article is largely balderdash. It claims that different states that have forbidden the use of Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a tool for indoctrinating school children have described that pernicious philosophy differently that the critics of CRT don’t understand what CRT is. This, at least, prevents us from having the insult to our intelligence of being told that CRT is only taught in graduate school classes. And it equates state-supported propaganda and indoctrination with free speech.
It is difficult to credit the bullsh** in the article as an accident. Huq may be an intellectual degenerate, but he’s not an idiot. For instance, he says the Supreme Court has said that CRT can be taught based on this:
Conservatives disparage arguments made by “snowflake” college students. But the case against CRT is made of the same stuff. As such, it is subject to the same response. Hence, in a recent opinion concerning off-campus student speech, Justice Alito explained why a student’s crude rant about being excluded from a cheerleading squad could not be punished in simple terms: “Speech cannot be suppressed just because it expresses thoughts or sentiments that others find upsetting.” This is indeed the law: The Supreme Court has not allowed the state to prohibit or punish speech because it riles up an audience since 1951.

CRT is Islams dream propaganda; it promotes Islamic goals without mentioning Islam at all.
not to forget that Islam is the fastest growing religion in blacks and hispanics because it gives it’s followers a mandate of superiority over all others, including the rights to enslave and require tributes.
I’m sure George Will can figure out some way to embrace CRT.
Freedom of speech does not include the freedom to perpetrate a fraud.
It is not the race part I object to. That is just a filler for whatever us next. Critical theory is a communist world view. As such it can only teach any subject from an oppressor oppressed view point. Don’t use communist teaching techniques for anything ever
I said it before; I will say it again.
Critical Race Theory is the belief that all of society’s ills are the result of one group’s genetics.
We have met these people before.
South Africa is CRT in action. Used to be whites, now their after Indians. (Because of the Guptas corruption)
Good points in an otherwise horribly written article.
