Dem candidates could take away the CRT wedge issue easily

[Quixote1818]

Have them say they are against it being taught in Elementary schools too. After all, it is a graduate level course. LOL Why would they want a graduate level course taught to Elementary kids? This is a non-issue and should be called out as such. Dems just do the Brer Rabbit angle and say they agree on something.

1. Good idea!

2. The right will redefine CRT to suit their needs. The initials are in the public's head

The right is skilled at twisting things to fit their purposes and narratives.

12. No. It's just really easy.

Democrats are just really slow to react.

3. To most Republican voters "CRT" doesn't mean the same thing it does to intelligent people.

Republicans don't view CRT as the graduate level course it obviously is, they've been told it's any talk of race in public school classrooms that might cause their offspring to experience discomfort, or question any of the things they're taught at home.

11. And there have been numerous examples of that right here...

...for example, far-right voters think that any "ethnic" names in a math textbook = CRT. They constantly redefine terms. Fascists never argue in good faith. Ever.

4. The best argument is that you're for teaching the TRUTH. Period. End of discussion.

5. It won't work because the Republicans ran over the fact that it was a graduate level course.

Their true agenda is to destroy the 14th Amendment's guarantee that everyone gets equal protection under the law, by changing people's reality and destroying any sense that we are created equally.

6. Why wouldn't we encourage teaching about CRT

Cathose Ray Tubes were a fundamental part of scientific discovery...

7. CRT is a racist dogwhistle

The more we address that nonsense the more we will lose. Talk about something else not GOP boogeymen if you want to win.

8. the thing to do w dog whistles, imho, is point them out, then ask-

they're sending out a dog whistle. do they think you are a dog?
do they assume you are a bigot? that you cant think for yourself?

why are they treating you like a dog?

[brooklynite]

9. No, say they're against it. Period.

[BradAllison]

10. Critical Republican Theory

13. What they object to has nothing to do with CRT

It's about teaching any actual history in school, anything that doesn't glorify their antebellum worldview.
