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
Even opinion pages are subject to a reputational standing. Do the papers editorial writers or guests have a history of playing fast and loose with facts, or omissions of facts, do they they do it a lot or a little? etc. The New York Times reputation, not only in their news reporting but their editorial opinion pieces, has taken quite a hit over the last 5-10 years, while the WSJ has maintained a good reputation. Rufo is a regular WSJ contributor subject to their requirements. Does it matter that he is a conservative when he is required to adhere to WSJ standards?
