As we discussed last week, "critical race theory" is a subtle philosophical construct where the answer to everything is: THAT'S RACIST! Teachers hawking this glop are being defended by their journalist allies, who sneer that CRT critics are too stupid to understand the nuances of the theory.
The Aristotelian ideal of this sneer was Elle Reeve's "special report" for CNN -- pre-taped to eliminate any danger of Elle being contradicted by someone smarter, such as a 10-year-old.
CNN's Brianna Keilar introduced the segment by asking her: "Do these vocal opponents of critical race theory actually understand fully what it is?"

“Root Cause” seems to be an excuse made up by those who lack common sense and awareness of the complexities and realities of real life and are looking to create one-size fits all solutions. These type of solutions only create more cultural conflicts and violence because while we are physically all human, we are a millennium or more apart in our ideologies which affects our view of whether or not, as well as how, to co-exist.
Haven’t many deadly terrorist attacks been carried out by those who, main-stream-society would consider as intelligent, educated, well-off and or employed?
I know there are plenty of examples of this, though at the moment I can only think of the Fort Hood psychiatrist, who was placed in a position of trust that conflicted with his cultural and ideological identity which supported and encouraged violence against those his cultural ideology considered deserving of such treatment....
