'''Critical race theory''' (CRT) is a [[Postmodernist]] construct based on [[Critical theory]] that teaches that race is not genetic.  Instead, race is a social construct and a basis for political struggles in the fight for racial justice.

CRT provided the foundation for claims that the [[Founding Fathers]] are "[[racist]]."  CRT was developed in the early 1980s.<ref>Fernando, Ivan (November 18, 2013).

Bell’s theory is in turn an innovation of [[Critical Theory]], which was developed by Marxist thinkers of the [[Frankfurt School]] in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1923. The Institute’s left-wing scholars fled Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s, relocating to [[Columbia University]] in New York. Critical Theory teaches a view that all aspects of Western society are discredited, and this view forms the foundation of what we know today as [[political correctness]]. One of its most famous purveyors was the Frankfurt School’s [[Herbert Marcuse]], longtime associate of the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]]’s [[Julian Bond]]. Marcuse invented the concept of “partisan tolerance,” that is, [[tolerance]] for leftist ideas and [[intolerance]] of all others. The Southern Poverty Law Center applied Marcuse’s strategy in developing its “Hate Watch” list, and ''[[Rules for Radicals]]'' author [[Saul Alinsky]] used it in his own life’s work.
