I understand that it's just some dumb culture war issue the right is waging.

But like, what is their definition of "teaching critical race theory" in the schools? Like what type of lesson would that constitute?

    There's what it actually is and then there's what conservatives are freaking out about.

    What it actually is, is critical theory applied to issues of racial justice rather than Marxism. I.e. the study of how to change society to fix issues of race through a humanities discipline lense.

    What conservatives are freaking out about is mostly the implementation of critical race theory which can be anything from Robin DeAngelo level stuff to just teaching that America was once in fact bad.
