Why not teach Flat Earth theory or the healing powers of essential oils it's just as much bunk as CRT.
Ya, the 200 years claim is pretty ignorant. But the US military now is probably the most 'colorblind' organization on the planet, as it should be. CRT will only make it less so. Even 20 years ago, the first they demand is 'follow orders', and the second thing they demand is 'there is no race or skin color, everyone is green' (this was the army, and a leftover sentiment from when the army wore jungle camo, I suppose now its 'everyone is digi'). CRT is not compatible with 'we're all the same', and while I personally dont think we are all the same (im not a supremacist, but there are ethnic tendencies that exist on a large, statistical scale, not that they often matter much). But certainly if theres any organization that benefits from 'colorblindness' it is the military which at its core depends on an institutionalized conformity that will not survive the victim classifications in CRT.
Need a new word. The problem with "CRT" is that it is defined by some as a very niche legal theory, and by others it is equated to illiberal neoracism. Then people constantly equivocate between the two leading to a difficulty of communication that is exploited.
