The label is completely irrelevant. What people object to is curricula that automatically labels all whites as racist, or argues that whites (even the poor ones) are automatically the beneficiaries of structural racism, etc. It doesn't matter if it's called CRT, or racial education, or white fragility training, or pumpkin spice latte. The substance is what people find so objectionable and it's deeply dishonest to try to deflect away from that by declaring that "CRT isn't taught anywhere but grad school" or the equivalent.

People care about this because it affects their children. I don't want my daughtered labelled as some sort of "oppressor" at her school. That doesn't feel like "racist bullshit." It isn't denying that slavery occurred. It also has nothing to do with the 1800s.
