Erec Smith is an accomplished professor of Rhetoric and Composition at York College or Pennsylvania and has written several books on the subject including a critique of Critical Race Theory where he instead promotes empowerment theory—which promotes individual, communal, and strategic efficacy rather than the "primacy of identity". Will and Erec discuss his upbringing and background as well as specific trends he is seeing and why they are so dangerous.
