        this IMHO is the standard Conservative Panic they need to keep their base engaged and not asking for policy, its basically Closing of the American Mind, meets the Panama Canal crisis

        Tbh, most of their electorate don't care about policy. It's always been about culture wars for them.

        My father worked as the DA for a small town in Arkansas and he used to complain that regularly someone would come to public meetings and ask, “How many children have to die before you [e.g. fix the sidewalk]?” His answer was always “Two.”

        That’s weird because 35-40 years ago, “they” were saving me from heavy metal and Dungeons & Dragons. They did a crap job by the way.

        The hysteria over CRT on conservative media has made me believe it MUST uncover truths many Americans feel uncomfortable confronting.

        In other words, indoctrinating children with the latest trendy theory is no biggie?

        Not teaching kids about racism is the true indoctrination -- one that has been dominant in American education for 200+ years.

        Critical race theory isn’t a proven theory. Teaching it to kids as if it’s fact is dangerous.
