I believe that the problem with Critical Race Theory and other "Woke" movements lies in the fact that once implemented, they become a way for certain entities to exercise dominion over anyone who doesn't fall precisely in line with their world view. Such philosophies become tools, wherein even if someone is personally innocent of true bigotry, when they don't follow the 'party line' that benefits the movement they can be accused of being "racist", "homophobic" or whatever, and thus be disenfranchised in some way. 'If you don't toe our line, we have a reason to boot you out!' In education, when it becomes "re-education", parties seeking to shut down dissenting thought in society can 'educate' children to disavow literally any philosophy that doesn't support their agenda....without giving opposing ideas the light of day whatever. Further, such entities can indirectly shut down any organization with whom they have differences, or with whose philosophies they see as threatening to their political power. All they have to do is teach children that an unapproved organization, for instance their family's church, embraces ideas that are "racist", "homophobic", "anti..." or whatever, based on the "litmus test" provided by whichever 'enlightened understanding' can be used to eliminate dissent. If you don't think this is a real danger, you haven't actually studied history. All one needs to do to understand any problem in society is to figure out who profits by its existence in some way.
