Cornell law professor creates online database of 220 universities teaching critical race theory to help parents choose colleges that don't make the 'racist ideology' mandatory

UK Daily Mail "A Cornell Law School professor has launched a new database which lists schools teaching critical race theory, after blasting the practice as ‘very racist’ and accusing ‘anti-racism ideology’ of causing discrimination on campuses.

"William Jacobson appeared on Fox News on Thursday night to speak about the site, which he claims will help parents avoid sending their children to schools where they will be ‘indoctrinated’ into thinking that the ‘most important thing in society is the color of your skin’. 

"Jacobson, the founder of the conservative website Legal Insurrection, launched the site earlier this week and has already listed 220 universities and their approaches to critical race theory, which Fox host Tucker Carlson branded as the notion that ‘some races are inherently better than other races’.

"Broadly, critical race theory says that white supremacy is an ideology that is baked into the structures of society and particularly the law - and that to deal with it, everyone who is white should acknowledge how they have benefited from it, or become 'privileged.'

"But critics say that it leaves people exposed to the training feeling that they are being blamed for problems that they did not cause - such as slavery and Jim Crow - and that it is itself racially divisive." . . .

From Legal Insurrection: “what’s being taught on campuses is that the … most important thing … is the color of your skin”
