      New from us: How did Critical Race Theory become the new conservative cause célèbre? Anger over the racial justice movement, cross-fertilization with parents upset about Covid response, and a whole lotta help from national groups and media.https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/critical-race-theory-invades-school-boards-help-conservative-groups-n1270794 …

      We talked to parents, teachers, activists, school board members, and watched too many hours of local school board meetings to count. The strategies? Disruption, publicity, and mobilization. For longtime ultra conservative activists, CRT is the opportunity of a lifetime.pic.twitter.com/mucBrxDJ18

      Major conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation and ALEC, and small-time lawyers and activists looking to make a name for themselves, have hopped aboard, positioning their groups as the best way to fight CRT. (Despite a lack of evidence that it's actually being taught.)pic.twitter.com/JANUsoR4Zf

      This topic is just ramping up. We counted more than 50 local school board fights over CRT with 165 local parent groups, many part of larger, national orgs, leading the charge on the ground. Who suffers? Teachers and students, many who appear near tears at school board meetings.pic.twitter.com/EX0fkSg4gM

      To the dear readers who will fill my inbox later with claims that the threat of CRT is real and not just a catch-all term repurposed as a conservative boogeyman? I give you Chris Rufo, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, who takes credit for this anti-CRT fervor.pic.twitter.com/bYkxprpCP0

      Your "reporting" is trash. And for the record: the Left doesn't get to deconstruct and reconstruct language at will, then force everyone to live within those terms. We, too, have the power to define words and shape discourse.

      My point, which you intentionally misread, is that citizens should understand that policy decisions such as eliminating advanced classes for "equity," withhold vaccines from certain racial groups, BIPOC-only income programs, etc., are all intelligible within the framework of CRT.

      We strive to reach you before a story is published, but if you've reconsidered and want to provide comment now, I can hop on the phone or you can send a statement to brandy.zadrozny@nbcuni.com and should it merit inclusion, we could likely update.

          Ah. Ok. Declining comment then demanding an after-the-fact publication of a statement disagreeing with on-record experts, parents, teachers and activists isn’t likely to get past editors but I’ll pass along. Good luck with the fundraising and should you wish to talk, I’m willing!

          NBC Universal is in thrall to the new racialism. They were sure to avoid pushing hard on the typical language levers as DEI made its sweep through the company last year though. True believers there are already adept at playing word games and spinning any opposition as partisan.

          Teachers and students are not "abused" by critical race theory, Chris. Imagine trying to read Frederick Douglass or understand the Civil War without examining primary and secondary sources for their relation to race and racism. That's all Critical Race Theory is. Calm down.

          None of this is CRT. CRT is, like any other critical theory, a way to dissect, understand, and critique governmental policy, policy outcomes, and judicial outcomes.

          In Subversive Education you wrote about educators discussing how “North Carolinians are colonizers on stolen Native American land” It appears you disagree? I'm genuinely curious: how do you suggest we honestly teach children about the native populations & what happened to them?
