Because of elite overproduction we have too many over-educated pundits trying to prove they know what CRT is and have a developed critique of it, when all these anti-CRT bills (or anti-"CRT") are not about CRT at all but messaging bills (the message being "ooga-booga").

If someone is saying "A bunch of Jews created CRT to stir up race war in America & kill white people" you don't respond by saying, "Well, I have a much more modulated criticism of Adorno & Horkheimer's's Dialectic of Enlightenment." You say "that's an anti-Semitic myth."

I keep going back to this but the right has created a bogeyman they are calling "CRT." To turn this into a conversation about the real CRT rather than about scare-mongering is a waste of time.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/critical-race-theory-as-a-bogeyman?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

It's a problem because everyone is engaging in this manufactured controversy & adopting their preferred terminology which helps give them fuel. No one is teaching it & the political goal is not to ban a thing that most of these politicians would be unable to define.

Absolutely. Most opposition accepts the frame that teaching simple American history is actually critical race theory.

It’s really not. It misses the fact that this was engineered to be an attack on public schools. They couldn’t attack Culturally Responsive Teaching, but they could conflate it with something that sounds like what they think it does. And meanwhile, folks are arguing semantics.

Time to rebrand CRT as the Dangerous Truth that the governing elite don’t want you to know.

All the IDWers have been silent on this actual assault on free speech. It is almost like their principles about speech weren't actually principles.
