<span id="docs-internal-guid-3a3b6f2b-7fff-0464-2340-1b019e3dac52">Critical Race Theory (CRT) began as an </span><a href="https://theflipside.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=281c839c990f42b374467ae5f&id=e8be195183&e=a48cbee762" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #0050a7;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">academic framework</a> which posits that racist practices are embedded in legal structures and policies. According to this framework, even seemingly color-blind policies can end up discriminating based on race. For example, until 2010 those arrested for offenses involving <a href="https://theflipside.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=281c839c990f42b374467ae5f&id=e5f6e488cc&e=a48cbee762" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #0050a7;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">crack cocaine</a> faced much higher sentences than those involving powder cocaine. Specifically, there was a 100:1 ratio: distribution of one gram of crack cocaine carried the same penalty as 100 grams of powder cocaine. This policy is technically race-neutral. However, crack cocaine, perhaps due to the fact that it’s cheaper, is disproportionately used (and sold) by African Americans, while powder cocaine is more common among white Americans. Thus the end result is a system in which African Americans committing similar offenses (but involving crack rather than powder cocaine) faced significantly longer prison sentences than white Americans.<br>

<span id="docs-internal-guid-3a3b6f2b-7fff-0464-2340-1b019e3dac52">CRT as an academic discipline, however, is quite different from what is taught in public K-12 schools. High schoolers are not reading treatises on legal theory. Instead, CRT has come to be used to describe a wide range of ideas involving race.</span><br>

For example, <a href="https://theflipside.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=281c839c990f42b374467ae5f&id=52167892c6&e=a48cbee762" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #0050a7;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">school training materials</a> have made claims such as that perfectionism, individualism, and objectivity are problematic characteristics of white supremacy. It’s worth noting that most liberals are equally disturbed by these examples; as one notes, “From any normal standpoint, the idea that ‘requiring people to think in a linear (logical) fashion’ is racist is itself racist.”<br>

It’s worth noting that <a href="https://theflipside.us15.list-manage.com/track/click?u=281c839c990f42b374467ae5f&id=35c07ae782&e=a48cbee762" style="mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;color: #0050a7;font-weight: normal;text-decoration: underline;">73 percent of Republicans</a> want schools to teach about slavery, and 58 percent support teaching about racism.<br>
