Commentary
There are numerous politicians who fervently wish critical race theory (CRT) to besquelched, cancelled, and ignored. This mostly pertains to elementary and high schools. I take no position on this whatsoever. My task is to assess the propriety of CRT being discussed, debated, talked about, and taught at colleges and universities. For example, Idaho is in the process of prohibiting the teaching of this theory at its institutions of higher learning (pdf).
