Couple more examples from this NYT article:
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/11/09/opinion/critical-race-theory.html

In Virginia itself, the Department of Educations website has a page devoted to Anti-racism in Education, and at the end of a long list of Terms and Definitions it reads, Drawing from critical race theory, the term white supremacy also refers to a political or socio-economic system where white people enjoy structural advantage and rights that other racial and ethnic groups do not, both at a collective and an individual level.

In the 2022 draft revision of the California Department of Educations Mathematics Framework, the chapter on Teaching for Equity and Engagement includes this language: Empowering students with mathematics also includes removing the high stakes of errors and sending the message that learning is always unfinished and that it is safe to take mathematical risks. This mind-set creates the conditions for students to develop a sense of ownership over their mathematical thinking and their right to belong to the discipline of mathematics a truly artful way of saying that diverse kids should not be saddled with the onerous task of having to get the actual answers.

In February, the Oregon Department of Education sent an update to math educators that linked to a document titled A Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction/Dismantling Racism in Mathematics Instruction. It contains a section on Deconstructing Racism in Mathematics Instruction positing that white supremacy culture in the mathematics classroom can show up in a variety of ways, including when Preconceived expectations are steeped in the dominant culture, Superficial curriculum changes are offered in place of culturally relevant pedagogy and practice and Students are required to show their work in standardized, prescribed ways.

The article author goes on to make a point I've been repeatedly trying to make in this topic:

To be sure, voices on the political right, including Youngkin, must do better when it comes to specifying what they oppose. They, and we, would be better off if they explained that they oppose philosophies influenced by critical race theory, rather than claiming C.R.T. itself is being taught. Bills intended to ban the teaching of C.R.T.-lite shouldnt be worded as if the intent was to ban the teaching of anything about race at all. And if thats what any of these bills do mean, they should spell it out in clear language in order to expose that intent to debate one within which I would be vociferously opposed, I should note. The horror of slavery, the hypocrisy of Jim Crow, the terror of lynching, the devastating loss of life and property in Tulsa and in other massacres no student should get through, roughly, middle school ignorant of these things, and anyone who thinks that is politics needs to join the rest of us in the 21st century.

But the insistence that parents opposed to what is being called critical race theory are rising against a mere fantasy and simply enjoying a coded way of fostering denial about race is facile. It is an attempt to wrest a woke object lesson from the nuanced realities of life as it is actually lived, in which the notion of a white backlash against racial progress may appeal as narrative, or as analysis of an electoral upset, but rarely tracks with on-the-ground reality.
