      Don't mind me, but it doesn't seem *crazy* to think, "I have my objections to the curriculum, but for now voicing them would clearly lend strength to a massive racist backlash coordinated by the RW, so I'll concern myself with other things for the time being."

      Especially given that US democracy is teetering on the verge of falling apart & awkward anti-racism trainings in public schools (which do exist!) are not even in the top 100 problems facing us at the moment, measured by any reasonable metric.

      I have a column pending on this, but I just don’t find this arg convincing at all. The right is very deliberately trying to discredit the entire progressive racial justice agenda by portraying it as inherently connected to ideas like “objectivity is white supremacy culture”…

      …It’s at least not *obvious* that progressives refusing to distance themselves from the latter - thereby tacitly validating right’s claim that all this is of a piece - is the best way to undermine right wing backlash against efforts to substantively redress racial injustice

      I dunno. I think playing the "distancing yourself" game reinforces the idea that there is some cohesive entity (whether "wokeness" or CRT). It's like calling on Muslims to distance themselves from Bin Laden. Better to just deny that cohesive entity exists.

      Just because you personally do not do something does not mean it is a bullshit straw man or does not exist https://www.dismantlingracism.org/uploads/4/3/5/7/43579015/okun_-_white_sup_culture.pdf …

      Sure, there's plenty of people with bad ideas. But the problem is rightwing hucksters posit cohesive left that runs from Joe Biden & Soros to Antifa & Black Panthers all allied to "CRT." To say people have obligation to denounce every fruitcake reinforces that CRT narrative
