A key point to consider here is that you can't criticize CRT. CRT forms the basis of all criticism. It's like trying to conceive of where you were before you were born. If you don't accept that, well then I guess you're a white supremacist.
My position is not quite so strong, but close. Certain well intentioned folks, are so fearful of saying or even thinking anything that might be considered as insensitive to blacks, when teach this they would present theories as established fact. They would be unable to present different sides or different ideas.
There are many examples of how this fear of being insensitive creeps into their thinking.
(1) calling everything racist even when there is no proof.
(2) cherry picking and replaying (media) what might be common mistreatment between people only when its a white mistreating a black.
(3) fear of criticizing something thought to be supportive of blacks (not saying anything about not mask wearing during BLM, ignoring unfair or criminal behavior during demonstrations)
(4) not saying anything controversial publicly about race and over reacting when someone does do this.
So no, they can not discuss CRT as they would discuss a less emotional more simple academic theory. Until they can be secure and rational about this topic, they should avoid it.
The bottom line, we are not ready ready to discuss race issues from an academic impartial framework. Until we can think clearly without biases or an agenda, it shouldn't be taught with any depth. We don't know how to do this and I don't trust people to know their own limitations.
