MODERATORS
To be clear "CRT" when used by alt-right reactionaries is not the Critical Race Theory college level courses most people would expect. It is used as a bully word for the Right to rally around and push actual historical knowledge out of grade-school education (and it's worked very well for them).
There’s further context here. A right wing grifter on twitter openly recognized and mused about how this could be exploited as a topic and pushed for it to be adopted nationally as a rallying cry. He recognized there was no controversy but there could be. And so because of one asshole this nonissue took flight. Arguably the Virginia governor race was won by the right because of this exact nonissue, the current governor made it the foundation of his platform, even made a tip line to report crt being taught. Do you know how many instances of crt he’s uncovered? None. Do you know how I know? Because he would have jumped all over any instance and celebrated the victory. He has done no such thing in his entire time as governor.
It’s just another nothing burger. Another sad pathetic attempt to create a boogey man for the right to justify their victim fetish. What a bunch of pathetic limp dick losers. Every last one of them.
