Well, I work at yet another organization the Kochs give money to, so I expect this will be dismissed as shilling, but the logic of this seems incredibly strained.

The Kochs throw money at a ton of organizations on the right (and several not on the right, for that matter). Any time several of them focus on the same topic, for whatever reason, you can point out they have “Koch ties.” The right loves the same trick with “Soros-funded."
It does not follow that the Kochs have sent out marching orders that all the organizations they donate to must now focus on CRT or whatever the flavor of the week is.
FWIW, I have been mocking this dumb, anti-speech CRT moral panic for months, and have yet to receive any command from our insidious paymasters to shut up. Not that I would.
I’m sure some of these organizations do coordinate on some stuff, but with big donors who fund a lot of organizations, you can sort of build whatever yarn-webbed conspiracy corkboard you want, but that’s not necessarily what’s going on.
Aaalso, the Koch Network publicly condemned the CRT bans, which is sort of a weird thing to do if you secretly support something. apnews.com/article/iowa-p…
