Notice the invention of "neo-racist" so as to have a side to push against when even mildly critiquing the moral panic coming from his preferred side. "The American sense of reality is dictated by what Americans are trying to avoid." - James Baldwin

Pondisco proudly serves as a fellow member of the Board of Advisors for fairforall.org with Chris Rufo who is the chief propagator of the moral panic which has directly led to people declaring that a book about Ruby Bridges is CRT. Will you see Pondisco criticize Rufo?
No, you will not see Pondisco criticize Rufo because they sup from the same funding trough for their daily bread and internal solidarity trumps intellectual honesty or even clarity every time.
Pondisco would much rather see Chris Rufo succeed than those who promote anti-racist education (what Pondisco calls "neo-racists" in an attempt to claim the high ground for himself) so while he wants to appear reasonable, the underlying reality should be apparent.
The attack on anti-racist education (which is what the anti-CRT stuff is really about) is an astroturfed movement. Rufo is the tip of the spear. Pondisco is the reasonable gloss. They're rowing in the same direction. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c…
