I'm not going to spend a ton of time refuting and debating some right wing commentary piece. it's not news despite being on newsweek.com critical theory was intellectually thought about before marxist thought leaders with hegel & rousseau it's just simply a heuristic in which to theorize about structures of society, critique, and kind of more HN relevant thinking about not just a simple single priori -> action but a more broad connected sociological look at society & consequences. at least that's what I understand. it does not force some political agenda on anyone, it's relegated to academia, and it's not some forceful communist crusade; that's just laughable. most important it's not something even remotely related to k-12 learning lol. the actual politicking is coming from those whipping up crazy delusional emotions and passing laws that have nothing to do with reality just because 'commies' is a hot topic to get certain segments of people riled up and voting/supporting their social agendas. and they often are actual campaigns of repression, doing exactly what they critique in others https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17540291003647530?journalCode=rpow20#:~:text=Critical%20theory%20is%20the%20name,before%20him%2C%20Hegel%20and%20Rousseau.&text=This%20tradition%20continues%20today%20in,of%20Habermas%2C%20Honneth%20and%20others https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/1754029100364753....
