They’re used to getting away w/deconstructing history & civics, which they’ve done for decades. They don’t like the fact that woke ideology was successfully given a name by @realchrisrufo. Defensive rhetorical move to nominalism (“wut *is* CRT tho”) = rare retreat. Important b/c:
The way this has been purposely done is to conceal radicalism in the wrap of boring buzzwords. This is what commies like Bill Ayers do in education schools. It all comes out of the cocoon a beautiful racist butterfly eventually, but the game is to conceal the insanity.
So pinning a name on a broad theory allows an attack to be made not just on individual (often state sanctioned) racist acts, but upon the roots of that racism, which is tied up into “pedagogy” and a host of other things that push teachers this way. We must keep pushing…
Next step is to clean out or (better yet) simply alter credentials for teachers to bypass the ed schools, which are cesspools of the worst ideas in America. Systemic changes sorely needed. Many good ideas and models about how to do this are already present and accounted for.
But make no mistake: the entire education system is drenched in this stuff already. First, ban it. Work to stop the bleeding. Second, at same time—real change or victory will have to come from cleaning it out or accelerating creation of new modes and orders.
A new education movement can and should declare it rejects state sanctioned racism and wokeism in all its forms. We must structurally build and re-form ed systems accordingly.
