      Wise or not, these bills try to address that problem. w/ skyrocketing rates of anxiety among young people it's not hard to see why some would want to prohibit teaching kids that they should feel “guilt or anguish” due to immutable characteristics.

      I read the thread and it offers a ridiculous apologia for moral panic.

          Then you misread it. It's a thread about the explainer linked in the first tweet. Which essentially says that it's legal for Legislatures to regulate K-12 curricula, even when they do it poorly. It's clear that they think these laws are bad and ill-advised.pic.twitter.com/F4S13imO0X

          He calls the concerns anti CRT parents have (their panic) reasonable.

          You clearly didn't read it. Just because he doesn't agree with your side of the argument and your moral panic, doesn't mean he is supporting the other side of this argument and their moral panic. He is calling out both of these moral panics, yours, and the anti-CRT one.

          Moral panic is good. Listen to the kids. They know. Greta Thumberg told us to panic about climate change and since doing so I am now single focused on saving our planet. Thankful I started to listen.

          At best, it seems like a strained misreading. I don't agree with Greg on all points, by any means, but I'd say you missed his points pretty strongly here.

          The mainstreaming and mainlining of 'CRT' by nearly every institution in response to Floyd's death is a symptom of a far larger moral panic.
