Sure Enough!! CRT Emerged at UW-Madison

The emergence of Critical Race Theory (a Marxist-Hegelian derivative) began as a legal theory at Harvard, but only blossomed as "Critical Race Theory" after a 1989 conference held at UW-Madison, according to one of that conference's attendees/organizers.

DELGADO: I was a member of the founding conference. Two dozen of us gathered in Madison, Wisconsin to see what we had in common and whether we could plan a joint action in the future, whether we had a scholarly agenda we could share, and perhaps a name for the organization. I had taught at the University of Wisconsin, and Kim Crenshaw later joined the faculty as well.

 
The school seemed a logical site for it because of the Institute for Legal Studies that David Trubek was running at that time and because of the Hastie Fellowship program. The school was a center of left academic legal thought. So we gathered at that convent for two and a half days, around a table in an austere room with stained glass windows and crucifixes here and there-an odd place for a bunch of Marxists-and worked out a set of principles. Then we went our separate ways. Most of us who were there have gone on to become prominent critical race theorists, including Kim Crenshaw, who spoke at the Iowa conference, as well as Mani Matsuda and Charles Lawrence, who both are here in spirit. Derrick Bell, who was doing critical race theory long before it had a name, was at the Madison workshop and has been something of an intellectual godfather for the movement. So we were off and running.

As to the UW:  it has always been a center of demi-Marxist materialism and has always (directly or indirectly) been in opposition to the Church and its doctrines.  Isn't it nice to know that we all pay an enormous amount of money to sustain that place?
