In the spirit of “all publicity is good publicity,” I see your point. Unfortunately, it seems likely that Fox’s definition of critical race theory, whatever their definition turns out to be, will appeal to more white Americans (probably by a 20 point margin) than the definition scholars have been diligently working on for the past fifty years.

Well, at least to white Americans who watch Fox News and accept their interpretations uncritically. There are far too many of them but I believe that there are far more of us, many of us pushing back against Fauz interpretations.

We have them outnumbered about 60-40 in California and in Oregon, Washington, and a few other states, too. But they far outnumber us in most of the states in which the 17% of the electorate that elect 52 senators and a control disproportionate number of electoral votes reside. Nationwide, we just barely outnumber them, and among white Americans, they outnumber us 60-40. So, outvoting them is a monumental task.
