Conventional center-left liberals feel compelled to defend CRT because
conservatives attack it, but some aspects of that academic field are
sufficiently extreme to make advocacy for them unpalatable, so the
definition of CRT simply morphs to fit their boundaries for legitimate
opinion. For many or most of the people defending critical race theory
today, the tradition is just a vague assertion of the prevalence of
racism, dressed up in a little academic jargon - because this
conception is far more convenient for them than grappling with what
CRT actually is.

This fucking Assadist Deboer writes "But there genuinely is some
wild-ass shit in CRT stuff and the broader 'antiracism' movement, such
as the idea that math is racist."
First you have to ask yourself why antiracism is in scare quotes but
more importantly when you click the link to "math is racist", you end up
with an article by one MK Sprinkle that does not even provide a source
for such an assertion. Sprinkle happens to be a contributor to The
Federalist, the rancid journal that provided most of the "higher-level"
justifications for the Trump presidency.
That's after he posted a message a little while ago citing an article
written by another rightwing slug.
Hmm. What's going on here.
