Delgado and Stefancic explicitly state "recently, critical Race Theory has expanded into other fields" and then give a list.

This is in "the Handbook of Critical Race Theory in Education." Published by Routledge.
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 2/
There is an entire history of CRT in education amd many books on the topic. Routledge, one of the leading academic publishers has no less than 5 large anthologies on this with material going back 20 years.

To imply CRT is primarily about race and the law is simply not true
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 3/
Your bio says you're writing a book o CRT for IVP academic. I expect you to be clear about what CRT is and does.
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 4/
In chapter 1 of "The Handook of Critical Race Theory in Educstion" Kevin Brown, one of the flunders of CRT who was at the original meeting with Kimberlee Crenshaw and Mari Matsuda writes:
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 5/
"Moving onward, educational issues like school re-segregation, the school-to-prison
pipeline, and special education studies will be able to utilize CRT in their assessment of
educational policy"
And also that...
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 6/
"These, and myriad other edu-
cational issues, are part of the responsibility borne by the newest wave of CRT scholars
who are challenged to carry the baton forward."

The founders of CRT explicitly say they want CRT applied outside of legal contexts.
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 7/
There is plenty of clear literature on this.

A Critical Theorist may suggest your intrest in selling books to Christians and your interest in CRT are beginning to converge so you use "nuance" and "capacious' definitions to avoid areas of CRT your audience won't like...
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 8/
Like Crenshaw saying the Original Critical Race Theorists attscked ghe idea "that universities themselves are apolitical arbiters of neutral knowledge
rather than participants in the struggle over how social power is
exercised."

That's an idea straight out of Foucault.
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 9/
Later she says
"These dynamics unfolded into projects that integrated insights about
the relationship between knowledge and racial power that had surfaced
in other sites across the university into critical discourses about law."
Again, Foucault's idea of Power-knowledge...
@MeditarMestizo @NeilShenvi 10/
CRT was never just about the law. It was always radical.

Be honest about that.

There is an entire industry of guys like this whose only goal is to front as "speaking truth to power" while they build a brand. "Social Justice"
*IS* the cool thing.
2/
I did an entire thread on how these sort of people monetize Social Justice on the one hand, and the turn around and accuse anyone who disagree with their ideas and methods of being in it for power and money.

3/
Books like "White Fragility" and "how to be antiracist" sell millions of copies...because that's where the money is and this guy thinks anyone who would say "this recent cultural view that progressive Christians are adopting is bad theology" is in it for money and power...

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

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.

Guess what, he left his social media public...
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 PROBLEM IS NOT HIM!

This is not the whole truth
Critical Race Theory accepts postmodernism top to bottom. Let's look at some quotes...
2/
This is from Angela Harris in 1994. She argues the notions of "truth" and "justice" might just be a sort of mask for power.
3/
In that same paper, Harris argues that CRT is comitted to the "methods of CLS." You can see this in Pic 1

CLS refers to Critical Legal Studies, which is a postmodern theory of law (source: rep.routledge.com/articles/thema…)

We need to be accurate in all things, for that reason, I have an apology.

Many of you saw the quoted tweet. I tweeted about it and said this article was ignoring the Jewisness of Jesus for clicks. My tweet is pictured below.
2/
I thought this based on the 2 things the author said

1. He originally thought the geneology of Matthew established Jesus was Jewish

2. He says his thoughts were folly he realized Jesus was mixed race.

I took this to mean we was saying Jesus was not jewish.

I was wrong.
3/
The author @caseybhough offered a clarification. Right off the hop he acknowledges that Jesus was and remains Jewish.

This means I accused him of something for which he is not guilty based on my reading of his article.

I was wrong.
