CRT is a decades old academic concept. The core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not just a product of individual bias/prejudice, but can be something embedded in legal systems and policies. Why would anyone not want that to be something we explore from an academic perspective?
90% of people who are anti-CRT have no clue what it is beyond misinformation fed by certain media outlets.

Sure, and let's start that education with the Grutter v Bollinger decision by the Supreme Court. You know, where the Court upheld institutional racial discrimination, which violates the both the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment's equal protection under the law clause, so long as the government has some compelling interest for that racial discrimination.
By all means, start there, given that CRT is taught to high schoolers on their way to college. Teach how the government of the US in 2021 is indeed a racist construct, and uses the written law to discriminate against whites and Asians SOLELY based on their race, does so all the freaking time, and in total violation of the Civil Rights Act and the 14th Amendment (mentioned again to be both redundant and to pound that into everyone's brains).
Then teach the inescapable conclusion that the government not only perpetuates racism whenever it feels like it, but also that based on the government and equity theories of the modern day, there is no better cure for racism than more racism, given countless examples of government sponsored racial discrimination, segregation, population controls, etc.
If you're gonna go that route, why just teach "whites are bad, m'kay?" version of CRT. No no, go all the way and give the modern day updates on how the government is manifestly oppressing whites and Asians in both written law and unwritten rules of persecution and prosecution, and doing so because they say it serves a compelling government interest. Start with Grutter v Bollinger, then go back to earlier cases from the 60s and 70s that essentially let the government to do anything they want so long as they can be the only entity who defines racism, discrimination, equity and oh yeah, their compelling interests.

Nobody would be talking about CRT in 2021 if there weren't any black-white gap in educational and socioeconomic outcomes or crime statistics.

Keep it at the college level where Critical Race Theory (CRT) can be challenged. But that is precisely the problem -- being challenged. Despite the current social climate, CRT can still be challenged by adults with their own life experiences. So what racial hustlers, I mean academics, does is bring CRT down to the pre-college level education where CRT ideas are less likely to be challenged. Companion to this is that the lower the students' age, the more simple CRT ideas can be, and the more simplified the easier to accept/swallow.
%90 of people who are anti-CRT have no clue what it is? Hardly. I am anti-CRT and I have plenty of clues, aka books, of CRT related literature in my home library. Plus, parents who objects to the divisive ways CRT is taught by race hustlers, I mean academics, are themselves educated, and many of them educators. All those 'certain media outlets' did was give the parents the necessary kick in the @ss that there is something amiss with their children's education. The VA governor's race should have been the wake-up call for the race hustlers, I mean academics, to rein in what they spewed, but it appears they have doubled down on what they want.
So, let's invoke the over rated word "equity" to close statistics by lowering standards so we are all mediocre.
Yeah...that'll work.
It wouldn't matter. There would still be those that expect to live off the government and the work of others, and there would still be those that want to work to get ahead.
In other words, there could be mediocrity but some would still be less mediocre than others. If the standards are lowered this country is no longer a democracy. It just become another communist dictatorship under one party rule.

Quite the contrary. I find that anti-CRT people know more about it than than pro-CRT people. And CRT doesnt merely claim that bias can be embedded in legal systems, but that it is necessarily embedded in all systems, and that any disparity that is observed is due to systemic bias and no other causes need be considered. This is why the people who have been influenced by it work to ban academic standards & standardized testing, instead of examining the cultural and parental differences of groups that perform differently.
Its why far too many left-wing black politicians and academics speak of incarceration rates without mentioning criminality rates. As if there is a disconnect between the two.
What you claim to be CRT is actually the mainstream understanding of racism. Its what CRT proponents dishonestly claim it's about when they pretend to combat the fictional problem of slavery & Jim Crow not being taught in schools.

CRT is a stealth form of anti-white bigotry.
Ideas are introduced in the form of a slow creep. There is some level of "hiding the ball" that goes on. But that's simply how the game is played.
