      The proof Yglesias offers that CRT in pubic schools is a "real thing" is a 4 volume graduate text that costs $1,350. WorldCat reveals there are only 279 copies of this text in libraries in the entire world. Seems like a thin & dubious basis for anti-CRT laws all over USA https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1405923688696930310 …

      Also, note that none of the laws mentions "Critical Race Theory" in the operative sections (some of them do mention CRT in the statement of intent, but not in the actual operative text).

      Yes, while the public rhetoric around these laws is all anti-CRT, what they target is something different. You might want to consider what that means.

      There are laws (which I disagree w/) in various US states, banning certain "divisive concepts", incl. the idea of racial supremacy, from being taught as fact. People are indignant, holding that the laws are aimed at banning "Critical Race Theory". I keep thinking of this joke. https://twitter.com/pranesh/status/1404030866876100608 …

      The laws are aimed not just at white supremacy. If you read the laws you would know that.

      What make you think I haven't? It'd be good to hear your critique of the NC law, for instance. https://ncleg.gov/Sessions/2021/Bills/House/PDF/H324v4.pdf …pic.twitter.com/CSwvK64GCl

      I don't think you can honestly teach, for example, what the Declaration says about Indigenous peoples and the ethnic cleansing of early Republic based on this bill.
