I’m highly critical of CRT, but let’s not mince words—these new laws are speech codes. Censorship is a concession to an idea’s power, not a defense.
I join @jasonintrator, @kmele and @DavidAFrench to denounce these illiberal banshttps://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/05/opinion/anti-critical-race-theory-laws-are-un-american.html …

Serious question: if a local school district adopted a Klan-based curriculum teaching race essentialism, collective guilt, and racial superiority theory, would you support or oppose a law to ban it?

Explain, in detail, how CRT involves “racial scapegoating”. It doesn’t fit the definitions of CRT I’ve seen, but since you’re an expert I hope you can help.

One quick thing, I don't want to be litigious, but public education isn't a monopoly...private schools existpic.twitter.com/Il9qsrxqED

One way or the other it's the government that's deciding what should or shouldn't be taught. It's hard to understand why state legislatures shouldn't get involved.

Maybe parents should form some sort of union to help protest these actions

But even if it is a state monopoly, freedom of expression is a good value-as in a private University.

And if you are poor.. you have next to no chance of getting a lawsuit. Something has to be done with the abuse of curriculum. Getting sick of the lack of action among some anti-woke. It's easy to criticize, but these people seem too afraid to act

All of the people involved with this piece have the means to place their kids in private schools or file civil rights lawsuits. The vast majority of parents do not have that luxury. I wish they would work with legislators instead of opining over their principles in NY Times.

the first premise suggests every single thing taught in a public school should be taught as "true" rather than "this exists and is relevant" which seems impossible in the humanities, western civ, philosophy and civics education
