Would not CRT Endorse this Part of Utah's Resolution?

    Laud the Utah Legislature for the three provisions it did place in its resolution on Critical Race Theory.   ". . . the following concepts are not (to be) included in the curriculum standards, says the resolution. Listing the three things that are not to be taught, it says:

  "that one race is inherently superior to another race;

   "that an individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of the individual's race, or

   "that an individual's moral character is determined by the individual's race."

   Now, I would be surprised to learn that any of those three things are taught in diversity-training sessions. Nor do I believe the makers of  Critical Race Theory advocate them. I think it more likely that the diversity training sessions and Critical Race Theory theorists would teach that those three things are, indeed, wrong. It seems to me this is the very message they are trying to convey. If so, Critical Race Theory theorists are fighting for the same things, not against them. So, I would be surprised if the Critical Race Theory theorists would not endorse this language in the Utah resolution.
