"I am quite intentionally redefining what 'critical race theory' means in the public mind, expanding it as a catchall for the new racial orthodoxy. People won't read , but when their kid is labled an 'oppressor' in first grade, that's now CRT."

There's your truth of the matter. It's a wedge. Maybe you should take a look into it? I think the guy is a clown but you can't deny the efficacy of his work product.
