GOOD RIDDANCE.

Critical race theory is intellectually empty, but it still behooves people who know that to say that.
Rational, average people fear for their livelihoods and even their physical safety. Check out what transpired in Loudoun County, Virginia where teachers looked to “cancel” parents who disagreed with their schools’ critical race theory-based policies.

Nevertheless, as the absurdity level of critical race theory keeps going up and up, the regular folk are becoming braver, especially as sane progressives join them. If you encounter a situation like that in Loudoun County, fight it. Stand up and speak out. Don’t back down. Find allies. You’re on the right side. The more the critical race theorists are exposed, the quicker they’ll fade away.
If you're in a feisty mood, accuse the wokesters of pushing a libel on the human race.  "By repudiating reasoned argumentation, the storytellers reinforce stereotypes about the intellectual capacities of nonwhites."  I didn't make up that "deny coherent beliefs" formulation out of whole cloth, you know.

Then ask the critical studies types why they went from denouncing arguments against group differences in intellectual capabilities to reifying them.  "It used to be demeaning and even racist to suggest, for example, that black and other minority children cannot behave in class, nor do as well as white (and Asian, but that’s for another time) students academically."
