    CRT obviates the need for any thought, word or act of racism as proof of their presumed verdict. All they need is their preferred race measuring less favorably than another. Regardless of the cause: they declare their favored race to be victims of the other.
    Then they would use real government enforced discrimination in response to their presumed discrimination; altering laws, policies and practices to favor their preferred race.
    All for the stated purpose of forcibly making the measurements between races identical.
    The operative question is whether you support using government force to implement racial discrimination.
    All the rest is academic.
    My answer is no.

      Sad. One clearly doesn't understand how American History has derailed Black American prospects since forever and a day. Consider this: CRT isn't taught in grade (K-12) schools/graduate and law students can opt to take courses in it. Exposing realities, laws and policies adversely affecting racial outcomes is one goal. And because political and legal pornography are the root of this, politics, the courts, and education are the antidote. Furthermore, COLLECTIVE SELF-DETERMINATION FOR BLACK AMERICANS (BAs) is another goal, recognizing that in the past and today violence and contempt by the state and misguided whites always derail it. It's why, for example, BA households headed by college graduates have significantly less average household net worth than white ones steered by high school dropouts. History doesn't lie, but our K-12 American History textbooks do. Today, a cult leading former president, with his powerful political, media and corporate acolytes, and his citizen-supplicants, are perpetrating a cynical, (largely) race-based disinformation campaign via Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Initiatives, Voting Suppression, Critical Race Theory, The 1619 Project, Anti-Racism, Book Banning & Burning, Black Lives Matter, Affirmative Action in College Admissions, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris, Supreme Ct. Justice Ketanji Jackson Brown, and packing our courts with anti-Black judges, the purposes of which are to divert attention from his mountainous legal troubles, to rile and fortify his base to support him regardless, to gain political power the GOP could not otherwise with integrity obtain recognizing its decreasing demographics and, many insist, to instigate civil and race wars. That individual, a convicted felon facing numerous criminal indictments, formented a failed insurrection to regain a presidency he lost in a fair election, is a doctoral-level expert at disinformation and political shenanigans, and openly heads a White Nationalist Movement using ANTEBELUM tropes of racist imagery and language, the goal of which is to keep White Supremacy alive, a treachery enabled by numerous (mostly) white Evangelical Christians who, by treating it as a suggestion, mock the commandment to "love your neighbor as yourself," and who have forgotten, or couldn't care, that ethics, morality, the U.S. Constitution and democracy matter, and grifting, mendacious sociopaths are no remedy. GASLIGHTING Black Americans who created the country's stealth economics takes nerve. And here we are. VOTE BAs because your future and lives depend on it. Don't sit at home. Trump and his minions know how to create INFERNOS -- and some BAs are more than willing to jump into it. DON'T PLAY WITH FIRE. This political independent is letting charity prevail, fella. With due respect. (KFB 61824)

    Based on her quiz, it sounds like black people have an excuse for everything. It would be sad to go through life feeling less valued because you are taught to feel that way from a young age. A better option would be to teach the kids empowerment and not that everything is based on skin color.
    It’s easy to discuss CRT with other CRT supporters and believe you are correct in your assessment.
    Why not invite someone who is knowledgeable about CRT, but disagrees with it?

      what do you mean? The quiz is impeccable. It shows that most of the audience inevitably thought "B" was a much better or more probable explanation of the facts presented. Think this is wrong? Read the thousands of academic research papers on systemic racism, discrimination and disparities in this country, then come back to me. If you want to argue that all of those are laden with fraudulent scholarship, be my guest, but you will have to do so with HARD evidence and proof!

      "teaching that everything is based on skin color", no, that is a total strawmen. NO ONE is advocating that we should teach people that everything under the sun is tied to skin color. However, if the data keep coming in regarding bias, discrimination and disparities, it behooves us to call a spade a spade, if we care about truth in the first place.

    This was a helpful presentation on CRT, but I found it challenging to get through. As a 'discussion' style presentation, I think it could have benefited from a bit more structure from the moderator and some brevity on the part of the presenter. The key points pertaining to myths/misconceptions of CRT that I came to understand early on in the presentation became muddled by the presenter running-on quite a bit throughout the rest of the talk. Even as an emotionally invested audience member, this became tiring. Regardless, I'm glad I watched it and am grateful to the moderator and Ms. Crenshaw for her knowledge and passion. Thank-you.

    Critical Race Theory, Intersectionality, and the Fight for Inclusive Education
    Introduction
    America prides itself on liberty, equality, and justice for all. Yet, our education system and public discourse often fall short of these ideals. Critical Race Theory (CRT) and intersectionality are tools designed to identify and address the systemic inequalities that hinder our progress. Unfortunately, these concepts are often misrepresented and weaponized to create fear and division.
    This article aims to clarify what CRT and intersectionality really are, counter the myths surrounding them, and offer actionable steps to support inclusive education. A crime against some of us is a crime against all of us. Education must reflect this fundamental truth.
    1. What Is Critical Race Theory (CRT)?
    CRT is a framework developed by legal scholars to examine how laws and policies perpetuate racial inequalities. It is not about assigning blame or shaming individuals but understanding how systems create and sustain inequity.
    Example:
    For decades, policies like redlining excluded Black families from homeownership, creating generational wealth gaps that persist today. CRT helps us understand these patterns and develop strategies to address them.
    Key Point:
    CRT doesn’t divide people-it equips us to tackle systemic injustices that harm everyone.
    2. What Is Intersectionality?
    Intersectionality examines how different forms of discrimination-such as racism, sexism, and ableism-intersect and create unique challenges. This approach ensures that no one is overlooked in efforts to create a fairer society.
    Example:
    Black and brown children with disabilities often face compounded barriers in education and discipline. Intersectionality helps identify and address these overlapping inequities.
    Key Point:
    Intersectionality isn’t about creating division-it’s about ensuring that everyone has an equal opportunity to thrive.
    3. Myths and Misrepresentations
    Myth 1: CRT shames white children.
    Truth: CRT does not assign guilt or blame. It focuses on understanding systems of inequality, not blaming individuals.
    Example:
    Teaching about white allies in the Civil Rights Movement, like Goodman, Schwerner, and Cheney, shows that history is about collaboration, not division.
    Myth 2: CRT is a Trojan horse for radical ideologies.
    Truth: CRT is an academic tool, not a political weapon. It helps us understand how historical injustices shape our present and future.
    Example:
    The story of Ruby Bridges, a 6-year-old who desegregated her school, teaches resilience and empathy. Erasing such stories from curricula harms all students by denying them the full picture of history.
    Myth 3: Book bans protect children from harmful ideas.
    Truth: Suppressing discussions about racism and inclusion perpetuates ignorance and division. Education should empower students to think critically and engage with diverse perspectives.
    Example:
    Research shows that inclusive curricula improve academic outcomes for all students, including white children. Teaching the full story benefits everyone.
    4. The Fight Against Censorship and Misinformation
    The recent wave of book bans, anti-CRT laws, and attacks on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives reflect a broader effort to suppress discussions about race and inequality. These efforts mirror historical attempts to maintain power by silencing marginalized voices.
    Historical Parallel:
    During Reconstruction, efforts to suppress education for newly freed Black Americans were central to maintaining racial hierarchies. Similarly, today’s book bans and curriculum restrictions aim to limit what students can learn about systemic racism and inequality.
    The Asbestos Analogy:
    As Kimberlé Crenshaw explains, ignoring systemic racism is like ignoring asbestos in a building. Refusing to acknowledge or address it doesn’t make it go away-it makes it more dangerous.
    Key Point:
    Suppressing knowledge harms everyone. Education must be a tool for progress, not a weapon for division.
    5. Empathy as the Foundation of Education
    At its core, CRT and intersectionality are about fostering empathy and understanding. They challenge us to see the world through others’ eyes and work toward a more inclusive society.
    Example:
    Why teach Ruby Bridges’ story? Because it helps students connect with the struggles of others and commit to building a better future. Empathy is not about shame-it’s about shared humanity.
    Key Point:
    Education rooted in empathy prepares students to navigate a diverse world and build bridges instead of walls.
    6. Actionable Steps to Support Inclusive Education
    The keynote offers several strategies to counter misinformation and support inclusive education:
    Political Engagement: Run for school boards, vote for candidates who support inclusive education, and hold representatives accountable.
    Community Resistance: Organize book readings, teach-ins, and protests to push back against censorship and misinformation.
    Support Educators: Provide resources and training to help teachers navigate challenges and continue teaching inclusive curricula.
    Reclaim Narratives: Amplify stories of multiracial collaboration and resistance to injustice.
    Educate Yourself and Others: Use resources like the African American Policy Forum’s CRT summer school to learn and share knowledge.
    Conclusion: A Shared Responsibility
    Critical Race Theory and intersectionality are not threats-they are tools for understanding and addressing the systemic inequalities that hold us back as a society. The fight for inclusive education is not just about preserving academic freedom-it’s about safeguarding democracy itself.
    A crime against some of us is a crime against all of us. By defending the right to learn, the freedom to tell our stories, and the truth about our history, we strengthen our nation and honor its promise of liberty and justice for all.
    Let’s rise to the challenge. The time to act is now.
