      I read David's piece, took away from it he was acknowledging legislative power over curricula and that Title VI (and I'd add Title VII) may be answers to the worst aspects, but that current legislation is ill-fitting. And then everyone said he was arguing something else.

      The central debate isn't about federal law, it's about state law.

      Right. But I keep seeing David characterized as saying states can’t control curricula (not so much from you) and that’s not what he argued. But he can speak for himself here. I just found it bewildering.

      I think that was strongly implied in David's essay in spite of its to-be-sures, given the broader focus on invasions of 1A rights, and I thought it important to push back against that notion because it was so widely taken away from it.pic.twitter.com/nnsWFbVMMP

      The reason why my essay swept beyond public K-12 is that the new right legal tactics have swept beyond public K-12. The Trump EO, for example. Proposals targeting colleges. All with similar provisions. But your characterization of my K-12 position as “surrender” was just wrong.

      But my point is that state-level action against k-12 is a completely different topic that we should not conflate with those other things - on which I mostly agree with you. We can and should control the content of k-12 education through the political process.

      And if you’d read my work more broadly you’d see that I grant that but urge a completely different course from bad panic-bills. You mischaracterized my position as “surrender” when it’s “adopt better curriculum and vigorously use existing civil rights laws to stop abuse.”

      But federal civil rights laws do not reach nearly far enough. They are a blunter instrument than state legislation, & leave a lot of falsehood & extremism unaddressed.

      Yes, that’s why I say adopt better curriculum also. It’s as if I write words and people don’t read the words.

      I'm not sure what the difference is between "adopt better curriculum" and "have you tried just not doing this thing?" Quite obviously, the point of the legislation is that the bad curriculum is being used anyway and they want to stop it.

      Which raises the practical political question of how you rouse the countryside against the curriculum, & how you then turn that into new ones. I think a critical step is state governments acting to deliver the message that the status quo will not stand.

          Have any of you guys sat down and looked through “the curriculum” in a public school?
