The ginned up hysteria over teaching the truth about slavery and bigotry is not just an attack on the truth, it's an attempt to drive Black educators from the classroom. Great story by @isabelaalhadeff : motherjones.com/politics/2021/…

Moral panic over critical race theory isn't *just* happening in North Carolina, of course. Still, it's hard not to draw a straight line between the attacks on Rodney D. Pierce and those on @nhannahjones.
