CRT is worse. It's a religion that informs every part of a curriculum, a set of assumptions that are baked into everything in order to give the impression that it's just to be assumed by every student. Intelligent design had the courtesy to present itself as a single subject to be learned and understood.
"principled conservatives" who thought it was grand to ban intelligent design because "the scientific arguments in support of it are insufficient".
OK well if that's the standard by which we can ban things from schools now we're just haggling over where the threshold ought to be.
As I recall, the issue with intelligent design was that it was being taught as a science and yet failed to meet several requirements of this.
CRT fails this similarly, but I'm not sure if it's being taught as a science and so must be addressed on the grounds of it's many other failings.

IIRC they also tried to teach it as part of a "comparative religion" or "religious studies" curriculum, and that was also shot down.
