Knowing what public schools are teaching isn't the same at preventing people from talking about race and gender, and I'm surprised to see the ACLU conflating these two things.

if transparency about what schools are teaching would chill schools and cause them to teach something else, then perhaps they shouldn’t be teaching that thing in the first place, said schools being public and this country being a democracy

right
theres also a lot of ppl arguing that crt isn't being taught in k-12, and so i would assume they would be pro transparency as this would provide evidence that supports their position?

The ACLU twitter and what it actually does seem in conflict with each other.

The ACLU has come down against:
- the transparency of public institutions
- the rights of the accused
- the right to a fair trial
- the Equal Opportunity Act
... and it continues.
They've effectively become the Anti-Civil Liberties Union.

Somehow "transparency" and "thinly veiled" appeared in the same sentence.
What an odd world we live in.

How about this:
Quote Tweet
NEW: Florida Republicans have advanced a “don’t say gay” bill that would ban teachers from talking about LGBTQ+ topics in schools. It would allow parents to sue schools for infringing on their “control of their children.”

This all stems from the poorly thought out "There's no CRT in schools" talking point. Elements of the left have been unable to defend the some of the fringy woke stuff on it's merits and are twisting themselves into knots over it.

Maybe these bills are bad and poorly named, but the NBC article doesnʼt actually make that case. It does link to an example bill (legiscan.com/MO/text/HB2189) which *does* do more than transparency, but it doesnʼt actually discuss that or say if they all do.
