On September 1, 2020, the national professional society of caregivers responsible for the mental health of '''individuals''' in the United States, adopted a resolution calling for “true systemic change in U.S. culture” because of “institutional racism.”<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/09/03/psychological-association-urges-true-systemic-change-us-culture/|title=American Psychological Association Urges ‘True Systemic Change in U.S. Culture’|work=Breitbart|date=September 3, 2020|accessdate=October 4, 2020}}</ref> It is unclear how the duty to provide care in the best interests of indivdual patients will be compromised by this new goal of fighting institutional racism or whether white patients will be treated differently that patients of color.

===Youth groups and organizations===
===Southern Baptist Convention===
According to the [[Alabama]]-based '''Capstone Report''', Critical race theory has made its way into some of the [[Southern Baptist Convention]]'s (SBC) seminaries. At its 2019 Annual Meeting, messengers to the SBC narrowly passed Resolution 9, which stated that CRT (along with [[intersectionality]], another controversial construct) could be "useful tools" in interpreting modern issues (though it pointed out that any such use not impinge on [[Biblical inerrancy]] or infallibility).
In response, a Conservative Baptist Network was formed in February 2020 to battle the spread of CRT within the SBC. It is concerned that CRT has overwhelmed the proper Baptist emphasis on evangelism and spiritual renewal.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/conservative-baptist-network-launched-amid-woke-trend-in-sbc-emphasizing-scripture-evangelism.html|date=FEBRUARY 14, 2020|title=Conservative Baptist Network launched amid 'woke' trend in SBC, emphasizing Scripture, evangelism|accessdate=October 3, 2020}}</ref>
Theologian Tim Keller has noted:
{{quotebox|The distinctly secular theory of justice locates evil in the wrong place, he added, seeing all injustice as occurring on a human level, demonizing human being instead of recognizing evil forces — "the world, the flesh, the devil" operating in every human being (Ephesians 6:12).<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.christianpost.com/news/critical-theory-is-not-biblical-justice-it-locates-evil-in-the-wrong-place-tim-keller-explains.html|title=Critical theory is not biblical justice, it locates evil in the wrong place: Tim Keller explains|date=August 13, 2020|accessdate=October 3, 2020}}</ref>}}
===Boy Scouts and other youth groups ===
Following the death of [[George Floyd]], a nation-wide panic arose to "virtue signal" support for "racial justice" as defined through the lens of CRT. For example, on June 15, 2020, the Boy Scouts of America Executive Committee issued a statement that redefined "Be Brave" as including being anti-racist. {{quotebox|The Boy Scouts of America stands with Black families and the Black community because we believe that Black Lives Matter. This is not a political issue; it is a human rights issue and one we all have a duty to address.}} BSA will require each Eagle Scout to earn a new diversity and inclusion merit badge, and all BSA staff will be required to attend diversity training.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://scoutingwire.org/bsas-commitment-to-act-against-racial-injustice/|title=BSA’S COMMITMENT TO ACT AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE|date=June 15, 2020|accessdate=October 4, 2020}}</ref>
