The parent's rebellion against CRT is winning

 John Green:

CRT proponents are trying to hide their racist agenda with semantics in some places.

...

An organization calling themselves the Antiracist Art Teachers have even created a guide for other teachers, The Strategic Guide to Antiracist Teaching -- Maintaining an Antiracist Lens and Empowering Educators in the in the Wake of Critical Race Theory Bans. The main focus of this guide is to continue teaching CRT in blatant disregard to the wishes of the community they supposedly serve.

The guide provides helpful advice such as:

• Don’t use the term “Critical Race Theory” -- Say “examining history/current laws in relation to race”
• Don’t say “white supremacy” -- Say “the belief that the dominant culture is superior”
• Don’t say “white privilege” -- Say “structural advantages based on skin color”

They’re changing the subject and the terminology, but they’re not changing the lesson plan.  They are recommending that teachers camouflage the tenets of CRT to hide it from those paying their salaries.  They’ve staked their position.   Like the Marxists they are, they’ve decided that they know better than parents what is best for the children.  They’re going to war with the communities which they work for.

...

Public school enrollment is down as parents are opting for other educational choices.  One school district in Brooklyn New York has seen a 35% drop in enrollment over the past two years.  Even more noteworthy, kindergarten enrollment is down by a shocking 49%.  The number of parents homeschooling their children has doubled in only two years.  Apparently, it hasn’t occurred to the CRT proponents that when enrollment goes down, so does their funding.  If the schools don’t stop fighting their communities, they will soon find themselves out of work.  The left is learning that you cannot jeopardize the cubs without getting mauled by momma bear.

The fighting will continue for a while, but the left has already lost the CRT battle.  But will the fighting stop with CRT?  Will parents simply stand down once CRT has been banned?  Or has CRT inoculated the populace against leftism?  Now that parents realize the schools have been indoctrinating their kids, will they remain vigilant for other forms of indoctrination?  Using our children as fodder in a political fight was a line the left shouldn’t have crossed -- but they did.  Now they’ve triggered the immune system of the body politic.  I can’t help but believe the left will come to regret picking this fight.

It is too late for semantic arguments to carry the day.   People have awakened to the indoctrination effort of the racist left and are not going to stand for it.  Racist garbage does not smell better because it is gift wrapped in semantic toilet paper.
