apart from what it does to the university system, what about the general public in the states? sure. it has negative implications all over the place. one of the bizarre ironies of the situation is that when rhonda sentence, in denouncing the ap course, use the language of saying that it was discriminatory, that setting these subjects would be discriminatory, implicitly discriminatory against white people, the weird thing about that, the really weird thing about that is that people who were scholars of critical race theory will tell you that the theory basically holds that in a society that is racially driven as this one, people will use antidiscrimination tactic it s in order to further the cause of actual discrimination. so in short, ron desantis is practicing critical race theory, and doing exactly this. he is
