Anti-white racism is what attracts all of the attention in the CRT debate, but that’s ultimately one of its least radical propositions. The “movement” — as its founders describe it — is better understood as an effort to dismantle Western Civilization
It's embarrassing how some have been duped into defending CRT on free speech grounds when CRT advocates are actively trying to dismantle the foundation upon which free speech owes its existence
There's a reason public schools aren't used for, as an example, proselytizing on behalf of the Jehovah's Witnesses. Or, on the other hand, Nazism. This isn't a "free speech" issue, but rather whether schools are supposed to be used for indoctrination.

@UNC .@nhannahjones, after successfully intimidating UNC into offering her tenure position, declines position:

@UNC@nhannahjones Jones claims she never went public with her spat against UNC’s board of trustees: "I didn’t want this to become a public scandal. I didn’t want to drag my university through the pages of newspapers … This did not become public because of anything that I did."
Not sure why lefties are promoting this clip as Gen. Milley comes across as unprofessional & dogmatically progressive — even repeating the false left-wing talking point that blacks were considered "3/4ths [sic] of a human being" at America’s founding
If this were about becoming better versed on complex subjects, there'd also be suggested reading on the other side of the spectrum (Tom Sowell, Robert Woodson, Abigail Thernstrom, John McWhorter). Instead, look at the books the Navy’s currently promoting: navy.mil/CNO-Profession…
Navy’s suggested reading:
— “How To Be an Anti-Racist”
— “The New Jim Crow”
— David Brooks’ “The Road to Character”
— “No Pity; People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement”
— “Sexual Minorities and Politics”
— “Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women & the Way Forward”
NYT’s @MaraGay: Experts say spiking crime is due to "disruption, trauma, grief, joblessness, homelessness, and just general upheavel that the United States has gone through, particularly communities of color and people living in poverty across the United States."

Toobin explains his infamous Zoom call: "I didn’t think I was on the call. I didn’t think other people could see me … I thought that I had turned off the Zoom call. Now, that’s not a defense. This was deeply moronic and indefensible. But I mean, that is part of the story."
Cont’d: "I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly confess, trying to be a better person. I mean, in therapy, trying to do some public service, working in a food bank, which I certainly am going to continue to do"
