      Last month, a Department of Education-funded organization hosted a conference on "abolishing the United States." I've obtained shocking leaked documents from the keynote session, which encourages teachers to "create disruption," "abolish" capitalism, and "tear down" America. 🧵

      According to minutes from the session, the keynote speaker, Bettina Love, opened by saying that America has "oppressed [people of color] for 400 years" and that teachers must "consciously tear down a system that oppresses people" and "build a new world."pic.twitter.com/QxUqBvGUrq

      The organization hosting the conference—CAST—has received more than $16 million in taxpayer funding under the Trump Administration and this conference on "abolition" was attended by Department of Education staff.pic.twitter.com/pMmqP4ik04

      The speaker argued that the United States has a "racial contract" that "says it's okay for white people to kill blacks with immunity" and that President Trump deliberately allowed the coronavirus to kill people of color.pic.twitter.com/rxfaHUjcsb

          Dr. Love claims that "reform is not enough" and that public school teachers must push for "the abolition of prisons," overthrowing the capitalist wage labor system, "radically changing" the school system, and "tearing down structures" that impede "anti-racist education."pic.twitter.com/bZw7vJXFtu

          The speaker then demands that "white people need to get out of white emotionality" and must be "willing to give up" their "wealth." She claims that existing civil rights laws are "all racist" and that white teachers must be "co-conspirators" in the revolution.pic.twitter.com/eMOkI4xtCr

          American taxpayers are now funding revolutionaries who want to overthrow the country. The speaker explicitly rejects "reform" and argues that we must "start over" to "build a new world." The phrase "abolition" is shorthand for "abolishing the United States."

          I call on @usedgov and @BetsyDeVosED to immediately launch an investigation into Department of Education grants that fund critical race theory and explicit anti-Americanism. These divisive trainings do not improve education for children and should not be funded by taxpayers.

          *To clarify the opening tweet: as I explain later in the thread, I have coined the phrase "abolishing the United States" as a summary of the worldview expressed in the session and, thus, put it in quotations. (If Twitter had an edit button, I would clarify this above, too.)

          Statistically, isn't the best likelihood of killing a black with impunity is for the killer to be black?

          We're told we are racist to notice such things. Facts are racist, etc.
