How old should you be before you read Ibram X. Kendi, Robin DiAngelo, or any of the other imposters of critical race theory? This sounds as inviting as “What is the preferable age to get cancer?” or “Which is the best way to crash a plane?”, but it is not the same. Those questions have empirical answers: as late as possible, so the cells multiply slowly, and with a slow belly flop, not a nose-dive. These answers use quantifiable data and falsifiable conclusions, and they are universally applicable (the “scientific method,” as Eurocentric cis males used to call it). This is why Republicans and Democrats alike will agree on them.
