I share that opinion.

I have a 4th grader … I’ll keep my eye out for schools teaching her white people are evil. She’s half black half white so I’m sure she will feel conflicted. I’ll also check under her bed for the boogie man.

I went to a liberal college and law school in California …. I’ve never been taught CRT so I do think it’s just some minor obscure non relevant thing that the right has used to try and politicize

I don’t give a fuck abiut crt and really think it’s a non factor in schools

Yep but Sullivan was extremely critical of CRT in that article as well. Of course Trump and other elements are using it for political purposes but the reason he can is that it was being used in areas to guide policy - if it hadn't been there wouldn't have been anything for him to grab onto. And when he decided to use it this way the support for this excretable theory suddenly materialized by many on the left.

And good for you that you have a half black/half white child - so do I (mine is a college sophomore).
