1. This is a good example of how CRT hysteria works.

2. This Daily Wire article is aggregated from The Federalist.

The Federalist article concerns a meeting of the County Board of Supervisors.

So, right off the bat, what occurred at this meeting was not a lesson being presented to children.

3. Critical Race Theory was never mentioned at the meeting but: "Byerly also noted a recently mandated African American history class would be a positive addition to county schools."

So the problem is they are discussing teaching history in school

4. This African-American history course was then derided as "curriculum counter to American values"

Cue a quote from an anti-CRT astroturf org, No Left Turn: "We want all of history to be taught, but we also don’t want our children to pay for the sins of past generations"

5. The Federalist is funded by the Thomas W. Smith Foundation.

The director of the foundation opposes teaching African American history in schools.

This is a tough position to advance, so it's dressed up as CRT.
