How is Critical Race Theory specifically anti American ?

[DaleCooper]

Because it acknowledges the ugly side of American history, and conservatives still think that the Charlie Brown specials are an accurate representation of how this country was founded.

This isn't accurate. Most people are well aware of the evils of slavery, discrimination, Japanese-American internment, the murder of Indians and the theft of their land, and the other big crimes in American history. If you ever interacted with any sizable amount of real people from conservative states and communities then you'd know that.

MacArthur is right that CRT is vague but what probably motivates people against it above all else is the belief (right or wrong) that it implies that they are personally implicated in this history simply for reaping any of its benefits.

Yes, opposition to CRT is definitely based the left's argument that America is a white supremacist nation today, or that it was founded in order to keep slaves, which is ahistorical. Very few people aside from a handful of crazy Republican legislators is believes that America has never been responsible for anything bad.

As I learned here on this forum, they don't want to deny that bad stuff happened, but they want to stop talking about it and teaching it to kids. Just move on and don't discuss the past. Definitely don't teach kids stuff that will make them less patriotic, that's the biggest sin.

Nope.

OSR is exhibit A. Do you feel his views on this issue aren't widely held on the right?

No, I don't think he's representative of conservatives.
