Until the Jack-ass got involved even most liberals didn't support it. Once he started attacking it those Trump anti-bodies took control and suddenly it was something to be embraced and defended.

You posted an article from Sullivan (?) in which he opined crt was just the latest dog whistle to rile up the far right base.

I share that opinion.

I have a 4th grader … I’ll keep my eye out for schools teaching her white people are evil. She’s half black half white so I’m sure she will feel conflicted. I’ll also check under her bed for the boogie man.

I went to a liberal college and law school in California …. I’ve never been taught CRT so I do think it’s just some minor obscure non relevant thing that the right has used to try and politicize

I don’t give a fuck abiut crt and really think it’s a non factor in schools
