It is well past the point of meaning what it's defined to mean. I have been hearing about it somehow showing up as a guiding principle in the design of middle school curricula, which does not involve teaching those kids any legal theories. It is what all words turn into when they are used too often: it is a buzzword.

Not sure if you are aware but this was a coordinated and planned tactic by right wing media. Specifically they targeted the term crt and decided to make it out to be the devil.

It’s a common tactic of Fox News and adjacent online outlets. Senators will join in as well. Anything to start a culture war. It’s coordinated and planned. I’m on mobile but I’d send you some evidence about it. I remember Hasan Piker showing some interesting information about it.
