And as always, when CRT comes up, I ask the author of the comment to explain to everyone what CRT is. And how it impacts learning, since it's viewed as this harsh brainwash grab.
For me it’s saying that if you are white, any individual advantage you have is because of systemic racism and because you benefit from it, you are guilty of racism by association.
I believe there are some places in this country where that is taught. Not saying this is one of them.

Nix/Cuz: I wasn't trying to take the political angle on it. Scouts honor. Just pointing that the knowledge of the topic is skewed. It isn't some new and shiny buzz word. It has been around in academia and the work place. Alot of us have to take bias training at work...at it's core, this is what the theory is trying to do in academia. Because, well, they actually do exist.
Again, regarding the acts of solidarity (colors, protests, etc.) of what was going on, and has been going on regarding race relations...isn't bowing out to CRT. A bit off topic of what the OP was going after, so I'll digress on the topic.
Crime hasn't gotten worst around campus. Communication about the crime has gotten better. Drinking and drug use haven't gotten worse by the students on campus; the communication about the unfortunate consequences of said actions have gotten better.
So again, driving home the point of my original comments, while crime can be of concern, and the social climate of attending a school in the deep south in the 2nd blackest state of the union can be of concern, we have done a great job with admissions policies that have proven positive with the consistent year over year growth that we're seeing on campus.
I'll assume that the comment someone made about the economic impact LSU has on BR came from someone who hasn't seen the economic impact North and South of campus in the past 10 years.
