The problem with CRT , like other forms of Postmodernism, is that it tries to rewrite history using current social ideas. Ideas and beliefs change over time, and CRT tries to prosecute the past with ideas from the future.

Here are 13 questions for those who want to teach “Critical Race Theory”:

1. Who is “White”? Is this even a ‘race’?
2. Are Jews a race? Are they ‘White’? ( The Whoopi argument…)
3. Are Asians white? If not why are they discriminated against in college admissions?
4. Are Catholics white? Italians, Spanish, etc… . If race mattered why were they discriminated against?
5. What about other countries other than the U.S.? What about Turkey’s genocide of the Armenians, or China destruction of the Tibetans?
6. Is the issue really about ‘race’ or is it more about colonialism?
7. Is the issue really about ‘race’ or is it more about economics?
8. Is ‘race’ real or is it just a social construct?
9. Is ‘white supremacy’ really the cause of racial problems today, or are there other causes?
10. Is ‘intersectionality’ a real thing?
11. Do white liberal democrats use ‘Black’ people for their political ends? ( As Malcolm X said) If so isn’t CRT then just democrats way of using race against republicans?
12. Isn’t CRT an attack on Western culture, not just ‘white’ culture? If so, what parts of Western culture should we abandon?
13. At what age should we teach children CRT? At what age would it be beneficial, and at what age would it be detrimental?

That is a very incomplete list of questions but it gets at the idea that CRT is not so much teaching real history, but asking uncomfortable questions that perhaps need to be asked. It is a social agenda rather than a real reading of history. Should we ask questions about race? Certainly. Should we teach CRT in public schools to children who have not developed critical reasoning skills? Certainly not.
