Of course the contemporary right-winger's newest "Red Scare" McCarthyism, the focus of their Two Minutes Hate is all about the dreaded "CRT" (hushed tone: Critical Race Theory)....not that they have any understanding of what it actually is...
What it actually is is a legal theory now taught in many law schools. If you actually care, factually, what it's all about, as a librarian I'm duty bound to point you to a reputable book on the subject:
My library doesn't own it, which doesn't surprise me as we're a public library and not an academic library or a law library. Confronting zealots with facts won't convince THEM of course but that's not the point. The point is to show them up for the ignoramuses they are to fence-sitting middle of the road folks who haven't made their minds up yet and can be persuaded.
If you want to know more about what CRT genuinely is, then you could do worse than obtain a copy of this book via Interlibrary Loan, just one of the many library services your local library is happy to provide you.
