No one takes issue with teaching about the Holocaust or slavery in North America.

To cite Wikipedia: "the basic tenets of CRT include that racism and disparate racial outcomes are the result of complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics rather than explicit and intentional prejudices on the part of individuals."

This syllogism is the controversial matter of CRT:

1. Anything which has racially disparate outcomes is racist.

2. Modern society has racially disparate outcomes.

3. Therefore, modern society is racist.

Yeah this is a good starting point. Now one can debate these statements individually, and whether they should be taught in schools. For example, does point 1 mean the NBA is racist against (against white people) or Harvard is racist against non-asians?

This is just to illustrate the necessity of defining terms to finding common ground.

> Harvard is racist against non-asians

Ironically, by the classical definition, the reverse is true.
