At last some substance. So discussion:
CRT -- something really only taught in law schools and graduate programs
Odd, because Trump issued an EO to stop its be promulgated throughout the federal bureaucracy. And Biden issued an EO reinstating it in the federal bureaucracy. He also issued another EO promoting it in public education. We see also many states outlawing it and many parents suing to stop it being taught to their kids.

That's not CRT, that CLT (Critical Legal Theory, derived from Critical Theory) from which lawyers like Bell and Crenshaw derived Intersectionality, one intersection or identity being race, thus CRT.
It also say that it's vital to listen to those affected by that racism.
Actually what CRT argues is not conscious racism but unconscious systemic racism, iow, a prevalent or pervasive assumption that it is everywhere, not a conclusion of critical thinking, not something one can point to as factual.

That one is easy.
Critical Theory spawned Critical Legal Theory spawned Critical Race Theory. Good so far?
Critical Theory was invented by a bunch of Marxists who disappointed in the failure of Marxism to bring about a revolution and topple capitalism on the basis of classes--if you want the names of these Marxists, just ask. The roots of Critical Race Theory is Marxist with a twist, class oppression has been replaced by intersectional oppression, including racial oppression.
The connection to Nazis is racism. CRT advocates, seeing race everywhere, demand racial/racist solutions. They--Krenshaw, for example--demand resegregation. Some of Biden's EOs preference people of color over others. Thus the influence of Hilter on Marx (which is really another thread).
