Whoever wrote this article is either disingenuous or lacks critical thinking skills. For example, it says: "It also tells kids, and I quote, that institutions “chronically favor white people and disadvantage people of color.”"

The quotation doesn't say that. The quotation is defining institutional racism and saying that one case of it is if institutions create outcomes that chronically favor white people... The fact that this author could jump to that interpretation of that sentence is ridiculous.
