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 …

@realchrisrufo some of these bills are...absolutely horrendous and also seem to be in violation of the Constitution, which, you know, would be really ironic given the pro-America spirit that is motivating the fight.https://www.arcdigital.media/p/laws-aimed-at-banning-critical-race …
You're moving the goalposts. They already *are* creating cultural change and we'll litigate the specific texts in the states over time and, if necessary, revise them. But the deeper question remains: who gets to decide what happens in public schools? Voters or bureaucrats?

They're not creating cultural change if the bans in question are as unconstitutional as the curricula they seek to prohibit. And the dichotomy you present is false. The voters in question are state legislatures effectively banning books. That is bureaucracy and it is tyranny.

Every sentence here is wrong: they aren't unconstitutional; the dichotomy is the state of play right now; they are not banning books, they are banning racist pedagogies; it's not tyranny to restrict the power of the state to indoctrinate children into a racialist ideology.

These bills don't prevent the bureaucrats from deciding, since they are the ones who will be interpreting these laws. You want to get education out of the hands of bureaucrats, you need structural reforms that empower parents.
