Chris’s tweet represents a common misconception about the “onus” of civil rights laws. Civil rights laws grant the government the power to enforce and citizens the right to sue. Double protection. I’ve used the right to sue to help clients when the government failed to act.https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1412139605319569413 …
Maybe in theory. But in practice, the Biden administration has dropped federal civil rights protections for teachers who have been harmed by critical race theory, such as Stacy Deemar in Illinois. Her only recourse was to file a federal lawsuit.https://www.foxnews.com/us/evanston-illinois-teacher-lawsuit-equity-trainings …

And besides, passing state legislation gives parents *more choices and more power.* They have federal civil rights laws, plus the leverage of pointing out a specific state law to schools and appealing to state attorneys general and superintendents to intervene directly. Win-win.

This is overcorrecting poppycock. It’s not just parents who can bring forth lawsuits. It’s ARMIES of parents. It’s advocacy groups. It’s legal defense organizations (
@TheFIREorg and, to a much lesser degree, regrettably, the@ACLU).Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

That’s the point! It’s going up the chain to the federal court, where it will be adjudicated on constitutionality. The process is working.

Chicago's rich northern suburbs have been fighting dirty for decades. Deerfield, IL for 10 years had 14 year olds sign confidentiality agreements not to tell their parents what they heard in freshman advisory. Finally caught by an astute student who told a parent.
