It's really just a boogeyman, isn't it? I don't think I know anyone who has interacted with what is considered CRT. CRT is part of the many critical theories surrounding race and it'd be wrong to generalize it as "most theory surrounding race" which is how I've seen it interpreted by some libs, cons and leftists. It's a silly boogeyman and it shouldn't be brought up as actually representing leftism and race, but for some reason leftists suddenly want to pick this up because of this boogeymanning. At least Habermas had influence before becoming the conservative boogeyman.
