It is a curious thing. When it comes to education about American racial issues, the Right refers to anything it doesn't like as 'CRT' --- often erroneously. In response, the Left uses any such error to prove its case that the Right doesn't know what it's talking about.

In the process of this simplistic back and forth, clear headed reasoning is not advanced.

For purposes of discussion, then, it seems like all should agree that while CRT may mean a very specific thing, the common understanding of it has ---- rightly or wrongly --- evolved as something very different. In this respect it would not be unlike the understanding of the term 'states rights' in the Civil War period.

All that said, it seems to me that the very real concerns of fair minded citizens (of both perspectives) are being sullied in the rhetorical mud slinging.
