if you keep the class (stay the course?), just call her out every time she invokes critical theory.

In other words, whenever she explains a complicated relationship as oppressor vs oppressed, remind her that not everything is us vs them and ask if there is any other ways the relationship can be described. Ask her to quantify the oppression - like, the lesson may be about poll taxes or whatever, ask "how many people faced a poll tax, really?"

Most Marxist thought is nonsense and if you start asking questions, you can identify at which point that nonsense becomesanifest.

George Floyd thing is an excellent example because a tiny amount of unarmed people die at the hands of police, but the Marxists will focus on just black people. They will also conveniently leave out the number of peaceful police interactions and will never ever mention how many police are killed each year in the line of duty, de-emphasizing the dangerousness of the job.

There are like 4 rules they use: show something fake, remove something true, misrepresent something true, add something irrelevant.
