Ok that's very good and important source material investigation. Thank you
for bringing it up. Rufo is the main voice against CRT in education and he is an important voice.
To me what it means is that certain texts are recommended reading for teachers and administration attempting to educate themselves on race and gender equity issues, in Loudoun County. That looked like something you would see in an Ed. School course syllabus. I do not believe it means that Loudoun County schools is "teaching" CRT or even "approving" it any more than a history or political sci course syllabus with a reading list that included Das Kapital would be teaching or approving Marxism.
The more I read about CRT the less I think it is reasonable or even coherent, same with Critical Legal Studies, from which it sprang. Every time I try to understand it it seems like a bunch of buzzwords thrown together by theoreticians who spend their time getting paid by academic institutions to construct and argue about abstract gasbag epistemologies that don't mean anything.
Its inclusion--or the inclusion of two or three of its foundational treatises-- on that Loudoun County "Resources" list is undeniable, though.
