As a deepening of systemic racism grows across the USA, much of it likely due to the success of our social change work, the backlash against it is exemplified by the campaign against critical race theory. Though the deliberate misuse of the concept may cause us to dismiss it as another outrageous attempt to maintain white privilege, some of us are paying it serious attention.
