My takeaway: @bariweiss is using her substack to host highly compelling discussions. Next time I’d love to hear the voice of an actual CRT advocate. @realchrisrufo is a highly skilled debater. By 60 minutes in, it’s over. When they get into legal questions, @DavidAFrench has won.https://twitter.com/thomaschattwill/status/1399072943288815618 …
I take his legal criticisms seriously, but by the end of the debate, David endorsed the Idaho bill. And his criticism of the New Hampshire bill is now moot—the bill has been revamped and focused on compelled speech, which, as with Idaho, I imagine David would now support.

Hey didn’t work for a creationist “think tank”? Why the hell should we care what you think.

I didn't understand his argument. If the First Amendment already protects students from compelled speech, then how is a state bill that says the same thing unconstitutional? He says the bills go further but he didn't really give any examples.

The question isn't a legal-technical question, which David concedes can be overcome with a grounding on compelled speech, but whether states should prohibit public schools from promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and racial superiority theory.

I really think the K12 conversation needs to be separate from higher ed and grant making. I'd like to hear a pro CRT voice too.

Here’s
@IanVRowe and Chanelle Wilson discussing CRT. Chanelle would fit the description of pro CRT. https://www.c-span.org/video/?511868-3/washington-journal-chanelle-wilson-ian-rowe-discuss-critical-race-theory-school-curriculum … - Show replies

Eh, it was like - these bills are unconstitutional - no they're not - but Rhode Island - that didn't go anywhere - well Idaho is OK - agreed - but this other one is unconstitutional - no its not, you can teach about it, just not that it's truth or force speech - disagree. End
