Thanks for reading, Ram. I agree that denying the "central tenants" of a worldview would leave something less than that worldview. This analogy falls short of CRT however because contrary to Christian depictions of it, it's a methodology used to analyze race and racism, not a worldview designed to offer existential meaning. Critics of current racial injustice movements in general, and CRT in particular typically conflate the reality that there is a correlation between those who tend to subscribe to critical race theory and those who hold a postmodern worldview with an alleged causation. As the founder of Derrick Bell's own Christian faith, and his disinterest with postmodernism indicates, one can clearly value clear aspects of the methodology without holding to a certain epistemological system. Richard Delgado in his book Critical Race Theory: An Introduction announces 6 major propositions of the CRT approach. They are:

First, racism is ordinary, not aberrational.

Second, white-over-color ascendancy serves important purposes, both psychic and material, for the dominant group.

Third, "social construction" thesis holds that race and races are products of social thought and relations.

Fourth, how a dominant society racializes different minority groups at different times, in response to shifting needs such as the labor market.

Fifth, intersectionality and anti-essentialism is the idea that each race has its own origins and ever-evolving history.

Sixth, voice-of-color thesis holds that because of different histories and experiences to white counterparts', matters that the whites are unlikely to know can be conveyed.

One could accept or reject these propositions regardless of what theological framework they possess, with the exception of one that rejects racism is a systemic issue.

So in sum, CRT is not a worldview, it's an approach to address racism which began in Legal scholarship.
