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 …

Would you need to support a law to ban it when you already have the 1964 civil rights act that makes mandating such teachings unconstitutional?

The question: who should decide what happens in public schools? Parents, voters, and state legislators? Or should teachers unions, public school bureaucrats, and federal civil rights officers? I believe we should empower voters, who have authority via state legislatures.

The saddest part of this is that it can’t acknowledge that there’s already a speech code in place. That’s what these bills are combating These bills will ban teaching the bell curve along with crt but they refuse to acknowledge that only one was being taught in the 1st place

You're missing her point. It's already illegal. Another law to ban it would be redundant.

My sense is that these bans will not actually result in cultural change and so do not produce sustained change. There's also a precedent for fighting against racist ideas in schools which is written about here:https://twitter.com/JeffreyASachs/status/1412222982940942338?s=20 …
