Disputed content
I ask
Kbr023 to engage here rather than attempting to
edit war their preferred content back into the article. In my edit summary when reverting, I said "Rm good-faith edit. This does not appear to be
WP:DUE for inclusion (at least not at this length) or encyclopedic
WP:TONE." Please take a look at those policy links if you haven't already and let's discuss here.

I also don't see the rationale for saying these particular things in this order on the place they were put on the page.

Critical theory and immigration
One sentence citing two sources is not a coherent or substantial addition to the article. I think it should be expanded or removed.

Agree. Similarly there are some mentions of immigration in
Critical race theory, but not as separate subsection.

Confused subject
The article is talking about two separate theories that just happen to use the same terminology. Frankfurt School's "Critical Theory" and the sociological "critical theories" informed by French philosophy are separate. They should be split into two articles, because right now the article feels schizophrenic talking about two topics at the same time.

is this article coherent?
>A critical theory is any approach to humanities and social philosophy that focuses on society and culture to attempt to reveal, critique, and challenge power structures. With roots in sociology and literary criticism, it argues that social problems stem more from social structures and cultural assumptions rather than from individuals.[citation needed] Some hold it to be an ideology, others argue that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation. Critical theory finds applications in various fields of study, including psychoanalysis, film theory, literary theory, cultural studies, history, communication theory, philosophy, and feminist theory.
How would a theory of social philosophy attempt to use literary criticism to reveal power structures? It reads like word salad.
>Some hold it to be an ideology, others argue that ideology is the principal obstacle to human liberation.
So are they disagreeing? I don't get it.

That would be the influence going the other way, right? Anyhow, this intro paragraph is very unclear.
