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 …

• Public education is a state monopoly, not a marketplace of ideas. • Voters, thru state legislatures, determine the curriculum. • Children should be protected from racial scapegoating. • "File a federal lawsuit" puts the onus on parents, rather than schools, which is unjust.
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?

I would strongly oppose the teaching, but I wouldn't support a law attempting to ban it, especially if such a law were overly broad and vague.

Related: was that ever, in fact, banned by law? My understanding is curriculum like that has existed. I'm not entirely sure how its removal went. Did legislatures step in for it? If there are such laws it supports your position. If there aren't it supports a counterargument.

What’s the reason these bills weren’t just drafted in a way to ban this as well? Would have been a great way to put some sunlight on what’s going on here.

It’s best if we begin to think in terms of “separation of ideology and state.” And not just religion.
