CRT+ / The Pomo-Prog Worldview in K-12

Here's a shot at a guess at a preliminary explanation of what's going on in schools. (Ungrammatical, but I'm leaving it b/c I can't do better.):

   CRT isn't exactly the problem. The real problem is the cluster of recent (and radical) Continental philosophical/literary/sociological/political ideas that took over the humanities in the '80s/'90s, and that has now infected all our institutions. That cluster of views is highly politicized to the radical left and strongly tends to be--somehow--both dogmatic and skeptical/relativistic/nihilistic. (That latter of cluster of views is inconsistent...but that's the way it is.) But CRT is the flagship view right now, and the cluster of views doesn't have a name. And so opposition has begun using the term 'CRT'--which, incidentally is what Kimberle Crenshaw, a founder of CRT, wanted to happen.

   In some schools, students are being indoctrinated with CRT in particular. And in some they're being indoctrinated with elements of the cluster. But more common is almost certainly: many of their classes include or presuppose elements of the cluster. Even if these views were being taught objectively--here's a view, it's only one among many, it is unproven, it has not achieved widespread agreement, here are the arguments for it, here are the arguments against--it would still not be the normal kind of thing to teach in K-12. And it's being taught there for political reasons, not scholarly or pedagogical ones. But it's not generally being taught objectively. Largely because it's being taught by true believers. It's also made its way outside classrooms, and has been institutionalized into counseling, student activities, and disciplinary stuff. In short, it's not being treated in a scholarly manner--it's being introduced as if it had been established as knowledge, and being used to transform K-12 into a leftist institution.

   Anyway, that's my rough guess as to what's going on.
