I was thinking in part of these two threads from last year:
https://boards.straightdope.com/t/we-have-met-the-enemy-and-s-he-is-us-good-white-people/
Also some of the criticism I’ve seen regarding works like White Fragility, including both their content and how they’re written:
Again, my point (and attempted to be carefully couched against the possibility that this isn’t happening at all) is that there are works like White Fragility and complaints of highly charged “diversity education seminars” which make for easy conflation with both CRT and what should be taught as history and how. I suspect that some of the anti-CRT stuff is really a reaction to a narrative that collective guilt is being pushed in the name of diversity. I’m not even sure if there’s any truth to the narrative, but that has never stopped anything in politics.
