And my understanding is that its a subset of what called Critical Legal Studies. CLS is about looking at the subjective application of laws rather than the objective formulation. On a podcast I heard one of the earliest examples in the CLS sphere was a law in an American city in the early 1900s applied to motor vehicle speeding to try and prevent pedestrian deaths etc. Whilst objectively that law sounds great, because the police force at the time didn't really like going after the wealthy, the subjective application of that law meant that pedestrian deaths didn't really drop. Why? because at that time only the wealthy could own cars and therefore only the wealthy sped.

So there is an attempt to say that being more subject to attention from the law has nothing to do with your innate criminal behaviour and repeat offending, but has everything to do with some subjective application of law?

So if a certain group does more drive-bys and shooting in driveways and such - legal intervention is nothing but a form of discrimination?

I'm glad you could clear that up or us so we all know why we reject such nonsense.

This is where the dum as dog doo doo Governor and Valkie display their knowledge as their is zero critical race theory taught in school and never has been.

The Dumb Gov has created a law to prevent nothing and you give him praise. He is also a righty governor who didn't lock down when needed causing many peoples death.

This ranting about CRT is about winding up the dumb right supporters about nothing, it is about playing politics with this just because they have nothing real in the arsenal.

This is about the right playing on just how dumb they think that their supporters are and it is sad that we see people proving they are correct.

Not all 'lefties' actually swallow this cancel-culture bullshit.

I'm a life-long 'leftie' and proud of it.

And I reckon it's outright crap. Most thinking people do.

Good, so you can explain what CRT is?

Try reading the first paragraph in red in the OP
for a basic primer.

It's explained there, and it'll save me from having to
cut-and-paste or re-type it. Tongue

Which, of course, is not an engagement with any of his ideas. You are just mincing.

Teachers Union: Idea that CRT is being taught in K-12 just a conspiracy theory by white supremacists trying to maintain their systemically racist police state.
