      I read the NYT op-ed on CRT laws from @jasonintrator ⁦@kmele⁩ ⁦@thomaschattwill⁩ and ⁦@DavidAFrench⁩ . Before I say more, I have a question for them: Are k-12 public school classrooms a marketplace of ideas, and do teachers have a right to inculcate any values they want?pic.twitter.com/mykEQhwCy6

      The first section of the copy you underline makes it clear that we're not narrowly addressing *legality* here -- there's an appeal to principle. In the vein of: "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient..."

      This is what they're teaching to kindergarteners. Prohibiting it is sensible, wise, and just.pic.twitter.com/PG2Fc5vNar

      Nothing in the above-referenced column makes it impossible to address the objectionable filth some schools are trying to foist on students. We have a disagreement over tactics --perhaps an irreconcilable disagreement-- but we agree on plenty here.

      "File a federal civil rights lawsuit" puts an enormous onus on parents; state legislation puts the onus on the public school, where it should be. The reality is that this kind of pedagogy is widespread, *despite existing civil rights laws.* New problems require new solutions.

          This is an important point. Put the onus on the powerful, not an ordinary parent, to go to court.

          As if a national campaign to enact new legislation in all fifty states isn't terribly demanding. Bottom Line: Choice. Competition. Really no substitute for that.

          I tagged them in a post that said the same thing. But I also added, which I said as the son of a Holocaust survivor, isn't there some point where speech becomes so toxic we want to ban it?

          Also most people who support this sort of curriculum also don’t believe the CRA should cover “reverse” discrimination. I guess I don’t see anything wrong with a govt setting curriculum standards for its govt run schools. It gives another layer of protection against this stuff

          How are these new laws going to be enforced differently than the existing civil rights laws that would put the onus on the school, without effectively promoting compelled speech?

          Yes, it does put the onus on parents. Democracy is burdensome and it asks a lot of its citizens. That is the price of freedom. To ask politicians to do the work for you is to say that people cannot live up to the demands of democracy. And we need greater authority to run society
