Is winning a school board position more significant than winning the Presidency? The argument isn't that you can't win a SB election - it's that a SB is powerless to oppose the bureaucracy in the long run. Is your school board going to replace Columbia Teacher's College?

Arn't Yarvin's prior recommendations basically secession? Wasn't formalism basically creating lots of nations of which one can vote with their feet? How is this not simply localism on steroids? And how does secession not accelerate this?

Yarvin might as well tell the Russians that scorched Earth was doomed to fail as it didn't take out Napoleon.

Not analogous at all. Napoleon needs resupply, Russians deny it to him. CRT believers control every single institution, anti-CRT people have as a terminal goal - "make a law that they'll enforce against themselves" - not "cut off funding to every institution"

I think Yarvin is right to a degree. Banning CRT will not make the educators abandon it just make it more weasel like in it's implementation. However you can't just let then run over everything. You have to mow the lawn or it gets out of control.

That would be great if you were actually "mowing the lawn" - in reality you're not. You're not reducing their resources, making them expend resources, siphoning resources to your group away from theirs, etc.

"Silly Crypton, burning that tree won't do anything to stop the French" "Silly Crypton, burning those fields won't do anything to stop the French" The emergent action of thousands of school boards being challenged simultaneously, does indeed cause problems for ruling progs.

Burning fields and trees did a lot to stop the French - it denied them wood and food. Making a law against CRT denies them nothing. Laws against CRT are like sending letters to the French army saying that they're violating Russian law and should please arrest themselves.

Furthermore, a failure to over-turn CRT in public schools provides an impetus for more conservatives to embrace homeschooling. It provides a tangible justification in people's mindsets. You look only at single-order effects of things.

If prog teachers get fired, great. Let's also see them *stay* fired rather than declaring victory then they get reinstated with mandated 20 year back pay for suffering. More homeschooling and cutting public school funding would be good and is why point (2) is arguable.
