--> Incredibly misleading and inaccurate title. <--
The Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff did NOT say that he supported CRT. He said that he felt it is important to be knowledgable of and understand the side proposing CRT. (Being knowledgable of something and supporting something are two very different things). He goes onto say that just because he read Carl Marx, Lenin, Tso, etc. it doesn't make him a communist - it rather makes him more knowledgable. He believes commissioned officers and leaders should be aware and knowledgable about these topics so they can better lead - NOT that they should agree or implement the ideas or philosophies in those texts. Don't believe every headline you read.
The full context of what SecDef and the General said can be heard using this link.

And he's absolutely right. Its important to examine issues from multiple angles.
It's so extraordinarily condescending that people seem to think that servicemembers are such idiots that if they're exposed to CRT that they'll be brainwashed.
If you truly respect and support the military, then respect them enough to trust their ability to think critically about issues.

Agreed. I am quite confident reading the communist manifesto would not transform our troops into communists - just as I am sure reading CRT would not transform them in any way. All reading does is expose someone to different ideas. As someone in college right now, I've been exposed to very bias literature and articles and had to write papers in those articles. I am no more a "liberal" than I was before. I do however, have a better understand of the rhetoric used in liberal writing and how they think.

Marx, Lenin Tso all real things to consider. On the flip side CRT is smoke and mirrors, an illusion.

Critical race theory
social sciences
Critical race theory (CRT) was officially organized in 1989, at the first annual Workshop on Critical Race Theory, though its intellectual origins go back much farther, to the 1960s and ’70s. Its immediate precursor was the critical legal studies (CLS) movement, which dedicated itself to examining how the law and legal institutions serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized.
(CLS, an offshoot of Marxist-oriented critical theory, may also be viewed as a radicalization of early 20th-century legal realism, a school of legal philosophy according to which judicial decision making, especially at the appellate level, is influenced as much by nonlegal—political or ideological—factors as by precedent and principles of legal reasoning.)
Like CLS scholars, critical race theorists believed that political liberalism was incapable of adequately addressing fundamental problems of injustice in American society (notwithstanding legislation and court rulings advancing civil rights in the 1950s and ’60s), because its emphasis on the equitable treatment under the law of all races (“colour blindness”) rendered it capable of recognizing only the most overt and obvious racist practices, not those that were relatively indirect, subtle, or systemic.

*** Research FACTS, not hearsay ***
It’s not a “Theory” it’s a study of WHITE RACISM in America/USA based on its documented & undocumented history.
Nowhere does it say “ALL WHITE PEOPLE”, it holds up the mirror of FACTS.
The ilk of “Revisionist History” such as the sickening of : United Daughters of the Confederacy (just one example of lies pushed to protect racist insecurities) is over.
P.S.
CRT = Critical Race Facts
*** this a repost from myself, because people are tooooo comfortable with the status quo ***
“I will not apologize for telling the FACTS, in a world that worship the lies”.
