Critical theory is a philosophy--a movement really-- of hopelessness, of conflict, of one group grasping for power over another. It has nothing to do with truth-seeking, power-sharing, equality, or other democratic principles. Even more concerning, it promotes tribalism and pits people against each other during an already-divisive epoch of our existence. Thank you for ably drawing attention to these matters, as well as helping dispel the myth that only conservatives are willing to question critical theory.
