Wow! I predict that this column becomes one of the most important and impactful in the growing battle over critical race theory ("CRT") This tears the seemingly just "anti-racist" branding and facade off of the deeply illiberal substance of CRT. Grace is now boxed: if they further reprimand, punish, or even terminate Paul Rossi, they will be further demonstrating how illiberal the school has become in brooking no ideological dissent. On the other hand, if they take the wiser and more just course of action and take no action against him, then other faculty members and students-- at Grace and other schools -- will be emboldened to dissent from CRT. Such dissent can only weaken the coerced conformity and compliance that is a key component of CRT. Paul Rossi deserves our thanks and praise!
