      1. The anti-CRT thing is an obvious astroturf culture war propaganda operation (with the fingerprints of GOP dark money all over it). The fact that it's also designed to stifle speech deserves more attention.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1405557550490259463 …

      Nearly a dozen Fox News guests the network has presented as concerned parents or educators who oppose the teaching of “critical race theory” in schools also have day jobs as GOP strategists, conservative think-tankers, or right-wing media personalities. https://www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/foxs-anti-critical-race-theory-parents-are-also-gop-activists …

      2. I haven't done a full inventory but as far as I can tell, the only two signatories of the notorious Harper's letter to speak out against these anti-CRT bills are me & @thomaschattwill. And yet the bills clearly have a chilling effect on teaching USA history honestly.

      3. The anti-CRT stuff is worrisome because it follows a pattern familiar in USA history of pushing schools to indoctrinate patriotic history -- going back to progressive era backlash against Beard & forward to McCarthyism. This stuff has been historically poisonous.

          4. If you took the anti-CRT bills intent seriously, you'd be hesitant to question idea USA is a meritocracy (or event the value of meritocracy as a concept) or claim that Indigenous genocide occurred.

          This is the classic move - “schools are indoctrinating our kids with x (they aren’t actually) and so we must stop this (by indoctrinating them with y)”

          I’d include the formation of public schools basically to eliminate Catholicism among the kids to let them become “American.” Not sure why we are so wedded to this kind of a system.

          And CRT isn’t poisonous? How about we teach things that prepare people for a good job and let them worry about all the controversial subjects in college?

          I dunno man. Seems like culture war bait. Setting aside that it’s not actually taught in primary public Ed, how would such a ban be constitutionally enforceable?
