Critical Race Theory.

That fake science?

[Brian Peacock]

It's a social theory, not a scientific one.

I hope for this Rationalia thread title one day: "Republicans: finalised"...

[Svartalf]

It's a social theory, not a scientific one.

it still has as much truth as there used to be in Pravda back in soviet times.

Or Truth Social now?

They have choices! Republican candidates can decide how to be losers:

But if candidates like DeSantis reject the “Big Lie,” acknowledge reality, and say Trump really did lose, much of the base will see them as traitors. We can say this with some confidence because of the two-and-a-half years of polling showing a majority of Republican voters rejecting the legitimacy of the 2020 election results, reality notwithstanding.

In it's basic form CRT addresses the fact that simply passing anti-racism laws doesn't magically change people's attitudes, nor re-structure organisations, institutions, or social systems in which race-based attitudes and processes are embedded. It's not a 'natural law' but an approach to examining the role the concept of race plays in society.

Indeed, the critical race theory moral panic was concocted and promoted by a Discovery Institute alum. That's right, the think tank devoted to lying for Jesus (evolution is false!!) He's not particularly shy about describing his method, which is simply to lie with gusto. 'Decodify' and 'recodify' is just a way of saying, 'I'm lying about it.'

'How to Manufacture a Moral Panic'

[Rufo] takes critical-race theory as a concept, strips it of all meaning, and repurposes it as a catchall for white grievances. “The goal,” he tweeted, “is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory.’ We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.”

Note that when Rufo says 'Americans' he is talking about white right-wing evangelical Christians. Everybody knows that they are the only Real Americans.

Iz Funneh, the approach you mention seems reasonable, but most appeals to CRT I've heard are anything but.
