A friend who is a Chicago lawyer sent me the complaint. Evanston is the town just north of Chicago, where Northwestern University is located. The "training" and "teaching materials" described in this complaint are rather insane, and consistently confuse race with class in a way that will miseducate the students. It is less clear to me how precisely the plaintiff has been injured, although the "hostile environment" claim may be the strongest. It will be interesting to see what the courts do with this.
(As an aside: while very little of the insane materials and training described in the complaint have anything to do with Critical Race Theory [CRT] as it evolved in Amercian law schools in the 1980s and 1990s, the connection to the hucksters Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi is clearer. I'll say a bit more about CRT next week.)
