I first heard the term Critical Race Theory when I was in college in the late 1970s. I can’t remember what the class was but I think a sociology class (I was a psychology major) but I remember being introduced to Critical Theory as a way to examine and critique society and culture as well as certain academic disciplines. So critical theory applied to the law (which I believe is where CRT was mentioned), literature, education, society and others.

Fear of losing control and power. I really like what you all said on the podcast in terms of the motivation for the anti-CRT movement.
