As a serious writer and educational researcher, I had to find a way to decode an idea to express the meaning of a phrase like CRT. Since this is directed towards racism, I first asked what position should I take? Is this real or not? I traced racism back to Kant and his expression of "he is black from his head to his toe". Such ruminations could lead to a non-scientific conclusion that "this fellow was quite black from his head to his toe, a clear proof that what he said was stupid" (Smith, Kant, NYT 2013)". See such structure would fall under as suggested by Kant's definition of paradigm (see Kuhn, paradigm). Without the use of CRT, how would you argue such statements in a falsifiable theory? This is not to say that the statement is right or wrong or false or true but that it can be tested for its truthfulness. It can be tested for its validity (Popper, the philosopher). If such an analysis had been made in the 1960's, maybe we would not have ended up with the mess that we have with new math.
