As an academic subject, anything goes, the good, the bad and the very ugly are open for discussions.
The problem is when the toxic elements in CRT are adopted by overzealous CRTists as an ideology and promoted in society without legal or moral restraint.
The toxic elements of CRT were then translated to such crazy expectations as;
- An example of an instrumentalist approach is attorney Johnnie Cochran's defense in the O. J. Simpson murder case, in which Cochran urged the jury to acquit Simpson in spite of the evidence against him, in a form of jury nullification as payback for the United States' racist past.

Here is one evidence where toxic elements of CRT are infecting young children;
REVEALED: $55K-a-year Corlears elementary school in Manhattan is among dozens in the US teaching children from book featuring 'whiteness' contract with the devil
The book, Not My Idea by Anastasia Higginbotham, features a demonic-looking figure that offers a 'whiteness contract'
The contract grants 'stolen land and riches' to anyone who signs it, but it will 'mess endlessly' with the lives of loved ones and all people of color
Corlears School in Manhattan, which charges $55,000 a year tuition for pre-K to fifth grade students, has recommended the book for children over 8 years old
The book posits: 'Whiteness is a bad deal. It always was.'
It also asks white readers to fight white supremacy, saying that they are also gaining their own liberation in opposition to it.
'White supremacy has been lying to kids for centuries,' the book reads. 'White supremacy is pretend. But the consequences are real.'
Also according to the book: 'Skin color makes a difference in how the world sees you and in how you see the world,' and 'your skin color affects the most ordinary daily experiences.'
'Racism is a [W]hite person's problem and we are all caught up in it,' it continues.

Note: Belinda often highlighted to me the Daily Mail is a tabloid and is unreliableThe Southeastern Legal Foundation, working as part of Rufo's legal coalition, filed the suit on behalf of drama teacher Stacy Deemar.
The suit alleges Illinois' Evanston-Skokie district was treating students and employees differently based on race.
In one instance, for example, suit says the district asked teachers to take part in racially segregated 'affinity groups' for an exercise.
It also alleges that teachers were forced to undergo 'antiracist training,' and uses the teaching of Not My Idea in the district as one of the examples of ways the district is discriminating against white people.
The list Rufo compiled also indicates how the book was promoted in each respective school or district.

but in this particular case, the news can be triangulated coherently with other supporting evidences.
If you are "white" would you want the above to be taught to your very young children?
