@EllenRenton There's something you have to understand here to understand the context. This comes from Critical Theory, and CRT specifically. "... those who make the allegations" in this case think of themselves as either "oppressed" or "fighting oppression." A good natured individual... 1/n@EllenRenton ... will rightly want the "oppressed" to be stood up for, they will lend their voice and their support to the "oppressed". Critical Theorists, however, do not use the word "oppressed" the way others use it. To give it it's due, this goes back to Karl Popper & Herbert Marcuse 2/n

1/16 Critical Race Theory and Social Justice are creating innumerable problems: they re-introduce and reinforce racism in many spheres. The Federal Government, local State governments, the academy and more. They masquerade as successors to the Civil Rights movement.
2/16 Push back against them is occurring, and we can see this in all the areas they're involved in. However, they have a big head start and have corrupted our institutions in large part to the point where the institutions are not fulfilling their obligations.
