Like Fox, all mainstream media profits by selling confirmation bias, not news. Nevertheless, some people follow up on things they've heard on mainstream media and dig deeper by going to primary literature, or to non-mainstream sources like The Intercept, The Daily Poster, The Guardian, etc. I'm not expecting a raging majority to do this or understand the way of reasoning of Critical Race Theory. If you ask people to explain how science works or what constitutes critical thinking, a majority can't give an informed explanation of either despite our spending billions to produce such literacy, and I've been working most of my life to promote both.
I just find people talking of "Critical Race Theory" when they never heard of the term two months ago as kinda encouraging and pretty cool. Maybe that is in part because now I am reading to learn more about it too.
Good luck with this Ed. Turning fallacies into “fact” is at the heart of Fox’s mission.

I agree. The controversy over CRT has made me dig deeper - oh what my "liberal" mind did not know.
