4/ Harris continues, arguing thst postmodernisms strength is it's corrosiveness, and going on about the need for postmodernism.
5/ Here Kimberlee Crenshaw states explicitly that the entire point of intersectionality was to blend politics with postmodern theory.
6/ In case you were wondering whether or not Critical Race Theory was it's own world view, Nathan Luis Cartenga, a philosophy professor from Wheaton College, says that it is.
7/ Dr. Cartenga Claims that CRT rejects postmodernism and cites Mari Matsuda as an example. The problem is a book she co-wrote says CRT uses postmodernism.
8/ BTW....
If you want to see where all this ends up, sometimes the less savvy commenters say the quiet part outloud in the comments...

The New York Times helped destroy the life of a college freshman over a 3 second video while it's staff repeatedly tweet abhorent racial insults at white people.
For those asking, the latest jnfo I have is that Jeong still works for the NYT.
Again: THE POINT IS NOT TO CANCEL SARAH JEONG. DO NOT CANCEL HER.
The point is the NYT should not be pouring gas on the fire of cancel culture by giving it the oxygen of credibility...
Destroying a girls life with a snapchat video should not be national news. This is glorified Gossip. A story like that might be the subject of an editorial about how having a digital foot print reaching back into your teens carries consequences we don't know how to handle yet
1/ Jimmy Galligan got a 3 second video of a White 15 year old girl saying the N-word while singing along to a rap song. He posted the clip publicly 4 years later when the girl started university to maximize impact and ruin her life.

2/ it turns out Jimmy Galligan, who ruined a girls life over a 4 year old snapchat video, made a video where he complains about being depressed in his freshman year of highschool because things he did in 6-8th grade followed him into highschool and he got judged for them.
3/ THE POINT HERE IS NOT TO CANCEL HIM. DO NOT CANCEL HIM
Jimmy Galligan knew how it felt to have things from his past follow him into his next stage of life and be to judged for them. Then he went and did that exact thing to someone else. However...
The goal of this exercise is to force you to overanalyze yourself and intellectually seperate your gender from yourself. They want you to treat your gender as though it is seperate from yourself so you begin to think about it as though it was a costume you wear...

As a social construct invented to oppress people. The assumptions of woke ideology are baked into the questions in that thread, so using them as a starting point to think about gender forces you to think in terms of the woke worldview that's built right into the questions.
I did an entire thread on this, but Mr. Veggie Tales is wrong.
The article he links to sanitizes the commitments of CRT in ways which are, I think, misleading.
2/ The article whitewashes the use of postmodernism, and the actual beliefs of CRT scholars.
I outline the beliefs of CRT scholars using their own words here:
