No one is proposing history being ignored or banned (Heck other than all history being ignored which seems to be the default in K-12 the last 30 years which laid the ground work that enabled CRT proponents to push their execrable revision).
So New York Times versus Wall Street Journal - One has paper has maintained a good reputation one hasn't - who you going to believe at this point?

A big problem imo is that people take opinion pieces and editorial people like Tucker Carlson or Don Lemon as news and facts instead of one persons opinion.
I cant view this NY Times or the WSJ opinion piece as its behind a pay wall but its clearly marked OPINION which should be read with a grain of salt
Christopher Rufo, the writer of the WSJ opinion piece is a right wing activist who worked for Heritage Foundation, does the Carlson/Ingraham talking circuit etc ... seems to be trying to anchor himself into the money making right wing echo chamber talking circuit and has targeted critical race theory as his drum to beat.
Christopher Rufo opinion piece does not equal WSJ credibility or integrity
