Your interpretation is wrong. Do you know what I'm referencing in that tweet?pic.twitter.com/1bx5JtzFZi

And why can't it be banned? You would oppose a state law to ban K-12 schools from teaching Holocaust denial, eugenics, and Klan ideology?

It can't be banned because it's not actually being taught in K-12 schools. ("It" being the obscure legal theory called CRT.) I agree that a lot of kooky antiracism and diversity stuff is entering K-12, the way to ban that is to ban racial discrimination.

You can't believe this. Read the legislation. It doesn't ban critical race theory as a legal theory; it bans promoting or compelling students to believe the core concepts of critical race theory. (CRT is not a legal theory, that was "critical legal studies.")

The legislation does lots of different things, some of which I agree with and others I don't.

Would you support a state law to ban public schools from teaching a Klan ideology-based curriculum?

Yes, although I'm not convinced that the state legislature should automatically wade into highly fraught curriculum battles. In most cases, I would prefer for the relevant authority to prohibit such a thing.

State legislatures set curriculum standards for public schools in their states. They *are* the relevant authority. And if, on principle, you would support a ban on a Klan-based curriculum, it is certainly legitimate to ban a CRT-based curriculum.

CA, WA, OR, and IL have all passed state legislation mandating CRT principles into the state curricula and teacher training programs. It's certainly legitimate for TX, OK, TN, and FL to *prohibit* this. That's the nature of democratic control and federalism.
