Pastor Baucham lays it all out, explaining what's going on now in our society and how the Gospel is the only solution.
Yours in the Lord,

I see critical theory as being a framework where one can apply the approach in studying anything. Examples would be studying anything from literature to international relations. Critical theory is incompatible with mainstream Christianity, though one could use it to study the bible, etc. The questions asked though would be far different from normal Christianity.This cultural Marxism is couched in what is called "Critical Theory." Is Critical Theory Biblical? No.
The Incompatibility of Critical Theory and Christianity

I frankly am not sure how one would study theology through a CT lens. I did find a book that does some of that; Theology and Contemporary Critical Theory by Ward. Since liberation is their goal, most if not all would see CT like most Marxists and Feminists do, an obstacle. If they did try to incorporate the bible into their study, I imagine they would use scriptures very differently, highlighting the ones that fit their views and avoid those that did not. They generally do not have universal truths.CT could be seen as a systematic theology?
Yes I would agree it would employ some crafty eisegesis. Thanks for the comments and research. Appreciate it.I frankly am not sure how one would study theology through a CT lens.

One might say some are taking this ideology as “a religion.”Your welcome, I am no expert but appreciate your interest on this topic.
