One way to address your concern is to say that not every level student would be exposed to the same rigorousness as others. And because this dialectical analysis would happen on a social level it could point us in the direction of social change and heal some of its current ills. These changes of perspective may lead courts to making new laws or amending existing laws that would justly frame existence in this republic. It's often missed that CRT's objective is to demythologize history and open frank discussions of history in our classrooms would be an effective way to do this. Books such as Zinn's A People's History of the United States would appropriately replace course material used in previous decades. So I say it's not an either or solution but both in a momentum that begins on the streets and continues in the courts before going back to the streets--from there in time we will see the change constituted in daily life and thought.
