granted I'm a lot older than you but "dreamy" doesn't work for me in that sentence. to my generation (I'm a war baby - prebabyboomer) a "dreamy girl" is a beautiful girl that you'd see in your dreams - one you'd dream to be with.

It's not about word meanings and changes. CRT only started when D. Bell mixed critical theory in the 1990s with, whiteness as property and intersectionality. Lingo has been used to confuse people who debate with them. They use repressive tolerance in most interchanges. Their system of Justice is meta-ethical Relative Morality. They are radical and want to tear down culture. There is no regard to morals as meta-ethical Morality believes morals are relative to the situation, so morals are not needed.

Moral behaviors are not taught since morals are relative to each individual depending on the group's oppression. Nobody is treated equally with race, sex, sexual orientation, age, or any of the seven other social constructs. Judgment is ruled based on past oppression and what society deems as reparation.

No, it is not about the words or the vocabulary it is about the MORALITY. I believe in Objectivist Universal morality. The person's moral character, the equality of treatment, and the ability to have objective discourse are where true Justice would lie. Your culture and thinking are corrupt, twisted and I doubt there would be any listening in your mind. Most of these words are probably alien, and I may as well talk to the man on the moon.

I guess if you fight monsters long enough, you become a monster yourself. I now treat repressive tolerance with no tolerance. Repressive tolerance is Radically Evil, No Tolerance is Pure Evil because I may be cutting someone off who is redeemable. Making someone pay for past indiscretions, robbing one's soul through disrespect and false persecution is Radically evil and is u Just. I use these behaviors with peers that I know.

1. Trustworthy; don't cheat,don't steal, reliable, dependable, do what you say, honest, be faithful with our partner

2. Respect; (tolerance, listening to others, use good manners, no foul language, be considerate of the feelings of others, don't threaten, hit or hurt anyone • deal peacefully with anger, insults),

3. Responsibility; (self-control, be self-disciplined, think before you act, consider the consequences, be accountable for your words, actions, and attitudes)

4. Fairness; (play by the rules, take turns and share, be open-minded; temperate, analytical, sincere, truthful,don't blame others carelessly. treat all people fairly or equally, objectivity)

5. Caring; ( Be compassionate and show empathy, express gratitude, forgive others, Help people in need)

6. Citizenship; (Volunteerism, the environment, paying your taxes even though there are loopholes, honoring ideals country was founded on, get involved in community affairs • stay informed; vote, be a good neighbor, obey laws and rules, respect authority)

Employers need soft skills, and these knit the fabric of society. There would be no oppression if most employers and employees followed these behaviors in the"six pillars of character," there would be no oppression. You need to have a moral standard before you can have dissent against it.

I want to learn about how critical are theory is implemented by humans into the classroom. Do teachers say that I as a Sicilian-Norwegian am responsible for the horror done to people with dark skin? Or do they say that some or many people like me have assumed all their lives that one should judge a person by how he/she/they act rather than what they say have contributed to the injustice rife in the world? Or is CRT proposing that injustices occur and that we all should admit that and try to make life less unfair.
