More “whataboutism.” What Professor Baker and Ms. Rodrigues-Shelley are missing is that the choice shouldn’t have to be between Trumpism/ white supremacism on the one hand and neo racism, CRT on the other. CRT and the associated “group think” provide fuel for white supremacy and for the cancer that is Trumpism. Right wing zealots are clearly a problem, but CRT is not the solution;rather, it’s simply an alternative form of racism.
