Whatever happened to the fight over Critical Race Theory?
How Republicans’ brief national crusade against CRT changed the political landscape.
.
for those who are not aware, i should mention that the bogus scandal over 'critical race theory' was invented out of whole cloth by a specific #GQP strategist, christopher rufo, who didn't even try to his cold-blooded, sadistic cynicism about using this to scare low-information voters into voting for GQP people and initiatives.
by 'didn't even try,' i mean: he literally tweeted out his strategy [and his reasons for recommending it].
and guess what: it worked.

Critical race theory should be taught from kindergarten.
No. I'm not saying white people should feel guilty. But they and their children should be fully aware of the entirety of American history. And oddly, most people agree, according to this study.
@grapho @LiberalLibrarian I sometimes think that they find something to scare their base with: CRT, furries and litter boxes , drag shows and kids…to manipulate them .
@MonicaPecoraro Totally. It's all about scaring voters. @grapho
@LiberalLibrarian @MonicaPecoraro
10000%. they don't have a broad platform of political initiatives with which to attract voters positively, so they resort to this instead.
@grapho And yet, as studies show, much more unites us than divides us. But media fuels that division for fun and profit. @MonicaPecoraro
@LiberalLibrarian @MonicaPecoraro
yes to this too. the media have long trafficked in sensationalism and, again, fear. and both of those conduce to division.
@LiberalLibrarian @MonicaPecoraro @grapho And next it will be something else to scare their cult members because as long as they're afraid of progressive ideas they can be controlled. If you think there's a monster around every corner you stay loyal to those who claim to protect you.
