Yes. It is part of the Critical Race Theory that is presented as the singular lens through which one ought to see the world. In CRT, race is a social construct, enforced by those in power (white men), and predetermines someone’s role and ability in society. It begins from the assumption that racism is an ordinary part of every aspect of life in our societies. It looks for racism in every situation and interaction. It is as illiberal an idea as you could have. It creates the idea that certain groups of people are doomed to be perpetual victims. It is pure poison.

Why not take a pledge to not be a serial killer? Or not to cheat on your taxes? Or be a rapist?

Asking people to take such a pledge makes an assumption that shouldn't be made.
