CRT is framed as Black nationalist ideology threatening to spread beyond prisons.
Evidence
This development might not come as a total surprise. Critical race theory draws heavily from black-nationalist ideology, such as that of the Black Panther Party, which came to fruition in California prisons in the 1960s. The new iteration of this ideology might have abandoned the militant rhetoric of the Panthers in favor of the therapeutic language of the school psychologist, but it nevertheless threatens to replicate the destructive features of prison-gang politics in the “outside world.” — Cyra Akila Choudhury, Racecraft and Identity in the Emergence…, 435
