This is not what critical race theory says:
"Critical race theory, Guelzo says, is a subset of critical theory that began with Immanuel Kant in the 1790s. It was a response to — and rejection of — the principles of the Enlightenment and the Age of Reason on which the American republic was founded. Kant believed that “reason was inadequate to give shape to our lives” and so he set about “developing a theory of being critical of reason,” Guelzo says."
The linked piece is a podcast called "WTH is critical race theory? How a philosophy that inspired Marxism, Nazism, and Jim Crow is making its way into our schools, and what we can do."
That's a right-wing columnist in the Washington Post bringing disgrace and ridicule to his paper for publishing this drivel. Also, it's apparently far too easy for old white dudes to get tenure at Princeton, because they apparently don't have to read Kant before talking about him. You don't even have to know that Marx wrote about 100 years before critical race theory.
No, seriously. What did that clown do to get tenure? I only ask because conservatives claim that woke liberals are destroying academic standards with their social justice blah blah blah.
Please nobody ever complain again about a leftist takeover of the academy.
