I hope you don't think I was trying to conceal the fact that the ADL has written favorably about Critical Race Theory nor trying to mischaracterize what you said as being in agreement with CRT. I think it was pretty clear that you and the ADL sharply disagree on the subject: they want these laws written so they don't ban certain children's books while you would prefer that they not be drafted at all.

I give you my word that I will educate myself about the topic, but as it stands, I hate book banning more than I dislike CRT. To me it looks like CRT is just another way of dividing people so that every minority group gets to feel wronged enough to vote for their so-called champions.

At worst, CRT is dangerous enough to create another irreparably damaged generation. Check out the Blue Eye/Brown Eye exercise, subsequently renamed The Eye of the Storm and imitated in countless classrooms since. The eponymous film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Eye_of_the_Storm_(1970_film) documents the affect on third-graders of being in the out group for just one day.
