The attack on CRT is vindication for those white men who felt forever displaced & destabilized in the 80s & early 90s in the legal academy by CRT’s exposure of the “master narratives” the dominated lgl theory and practice & that had held them in power. theguardian.com/us-news/2020/s…
Since thisAdministration is determined to right every perceived “wrong” that resulted in Black ppl infiltrating powerful institutions (see affirmative action attack on Yale) I’m not surprised. Key here however is the attack on “anti-racism” training.
The “reveal” here (to use @KhalilGMuhammad’s term) is that this Admin rejects the very concept of racism. They don’t accept systemic racism (see Bill Barr interview); bad apples racism (see defense of Rittenhouse & “fine ppl on both sides”); & now they reject implicit bias.
And the attempt to ban teaching of the #1619Project reflects their rejection of even historical racism. Understand that they have staked out a position in which there is no such thing as racism that needs to be remedied. For me, this is the significance of this move.
