      So here's an awful thing. This week we reported on the dark money groups pushing legislation and hosting seminars on how to block Critical Race Theory from public schools. One of those groups was the Heritage Foundation. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/critical-race-theory-invades-school-boards-help-conservative-groups-n1270794 …pic.twitter.com/cFCJiiHnXD

      They didn't comment for the piece, but they spent today attacking my fellow reporter on it, still not commenting on how they've astroturfed this Critical Race Theory fight. This video then got picked up by viral right-wing media, exactly the strategy we outlined in the piece.pic.twitter.com/UIT6A1BnOk

      The outrage is the point. We've learned how to deal with it. All we can do is talk about the facts: This "Critical Race Theory" fight in public schools is thoroughly astroturfed by the same groups attacking our reporting. So please read it:https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/critical-race-theory-invades-school-boards-help-conservative-groups-n1270794 …

          You’re just describing modern politics and education is in the realm of politics. Don’t see the problem.

          Did your reporting say that parents shouldn't be allowed to FOIA?

          It's kind of amazing the number of people commenting that didn't read your article and are unwittingly proving what it says.

          is there a neutral definitive resource/document/faq regarding what exactly CRT is as it pertains to public schools? i think a lot of folks are confused as to what it actually is, and end up just taking someone else's opinion for it

          I know what I used to tell torts students (I had a session on influential legal theories that I need to find a way to bring back with the new textbook), but I don’t know how it would work in high schools. I don’t know enough about high schools in the U.S..
