John did an excellent job on the Munk Debate. Very controlled and clinically precise, I thought.

If anyone listens to the link I posted above, one warning: You might want to spend the few seconds it takes to find the iHeart on that page. The first (default) player that popped up kept abruptly ending. I had no problems after I switched to the iHeart player. Maybe it was my PC, but if you experience the same problem, try iHeart.

I generally agreed with John. However, it seemed like John and Gloria were talking past each other most of the time. This problem is not unique to this particular debate and seems to characterize most the of discussion about "Critical Race Theory." AFAICT, the main disagreement was about whether students in public elementary schools are being taught that race is an essential part of one's identity and related ideas such as that black people are always victims and white people are always oppressors.
