Since you restated your claim, failing to address anything I said or any evidence I provided, but you capitalized one extra key word this time, the only possible conclusion is that you are correct in this matter!

“Critical race theory may even follow the example of critical legal studies (CLS), which embedded itself so thoroughly in academic scholarship and teaching that its precepts become commonplace, part of the conventional wisdom. This may, in fact, be happening. Consider in many disciplines scholars, teachers, and courses profess, almost incidentally, to embrace critical race theory. [...] Might critical race theory one day diffuse into the atmosphere, like air, so that we are hardly aware of it anymore?” CRT: An Introduction, page 158.

“Although CRT began as a movement in the law, it has rapidly spread beyond that discipline. Today, many scholars in education consider themselves critical race theorists who use CRT's ideas to understand issues [...] Ethnic studies courses often include a unit on critical race theory, and American studies departments teach material on critical white studies developed by CRT writers.” CRT: An Introduction, page 7.

Clearly, your three-letter capitalized word is far more persuasive than what leading Critical Race Theory scholars say in their own book introducing the subject.
