They’re just trying to rile up their white nationalist base. Critical Race Theory (CRT) is not taught in K-12.
I believe that the fear mongering regarding CRT is intended to usher in the banning of any teaching of substance on the history of slavery and racism and on the current devastation of racism.

George Orwell is in his grave realizing he was far too optimistic in his writing. What next? Republican Thought Police monitoring classrooms to make sure words like “inequality” and “injustice” are never used and that the “heartwarming story of anti-integration parents” is told? https://t.co/1qJRMTnfok

I was honored to work with @kmele, @thomaschattwill, and @jasonintrator to write in the NYT against broad, vague laws designed to suppress CRT. They’re speech codes and thus “antithetical to educating students in the culture of American free expression.” https://t.co/y8kJKvAMBt
