This is from the Washington Post's homepage right now. A 5 minute video propagating ignorant neoracist nonsense. It's really astonishing the extent to which this stuff is becoming mainstream and normalized, especially by the press. 
This is what the current education fight is really about, but people are intentionally pretending not to understand that. The same activists mainstreaming this stuff in the press are also trying to insert it into education. Trying to frame every subject around race.
These views are legitimately harmful and backwards. They shouldn't be normalized and they certainly should not be forced on young kids via public education that is funded by taxpayers. Parents have every right to be concerned and want to step in.
Defenders keep playing this game of saying "well that's not really critical race theory" (despite some proponents identifying it as CRT) and ignoring the evidence that it is being injected into education without actually engaging the real substance of the concerns.
Now that doesn't mean that state laws are the ideal way to deal with those concerns. We can and should have a debate over what options parents should have, but simply rejecting transparency and telling parents and others they should just accept it is not a viable solution.
Anyways, it's really frustrating watching people try to move us towards a society where someone's skin color becomes their defining trait. The very type of society that so many people sacrificed to move away from. The progress they made is worth fighting for.
