Critical Race Theory is falling. It's end, but not THE end, is coming.

I agree with you. The activists are realizing that their ideas, once put into practice, are generating discontent. Their racial coalition is also breaking apart—Asian-Americans, in particular, are revolting against CRT, which punishes them more than any other group.

We have successfully frozen their brand—"critical race theory"—into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category.

The goal 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.

Hate to say it, because I've loved and referenced your work in the past, but you lose me when you talk like this. There are many crazy things in the newspaper. I prefer you as a muckraking journalist, not a recodifier.

You work for the Discovery Institute, so I assume your ultimate goal is to somehow use this to attack the theory of evolution.

Your ass is showing. It’s nice when the villain admits their plan willingly. You’re not attacking CRT on substance, you’re making it a boogeyman.

You're suffering from the "perils of constipation"

..."We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans." This is about 501(c)3 tax credits for conservative think tanks!

When I read someone spouting their opposition to "Critical Race Theory" I think of propagandists like you who just use the term to sow division without ever having to say what they mean. But you do admit that you don't actually mean anything by it. It's a label for "rebranding."
