BREAKING: Attorney General Merrick Garland has instructed the FBI to mobilize against parents who oppose critical race theory in public schools, citing "threats."

The letter follows the National School Board Association's request to classify protests as "domestic terrorism."
The Biden administration is rapidly repurposing federal law enforcement to target political opposition.

They want to reclassify dissent as "disinformation" and "domestic terrorism," justifying an unprecedented intervention, both directly and in partnership with tech companies.
Neither the Attorney General's memo nor the full Justice Department press release cites any significant, credible threat.

This is a blatant suppression tactic, designed to dissuade citizens from participating in the democratic process at school boards.

We must forcefully push back against the suppression of our basic rights and the criminalization of our politics.

The Biden administration wants to apply the J6 strategy to every expression of conservative speech and assembly.

We must not let them.

The public school system is not a "free marketplace of ideas"; it's a state-run monopoly with compulsory power over children.

Voters and state legislators should be the ultimate authority over public schools—not the teachers unions and permanent bureaucracy.
Even under the most stringent libertarian philosophy, monopoly conditions justify, even demand, intervention.

If public schools are promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and state-sanctioned racism, voters are absolutely right to restrict it.
Libertarians support school choice, which is a noble long-term goal.

In the meantime, however, we must make decisions within the current paradigm, in which public schools control 90 percent of K-12 education.

Prohibiting state-sanctioned racism is the bare minimum.

SCOOP: @CVSHealth CEO Larry Merlo earned 618 times more than the median CVS employee salary, while simultaneously promoting the idea that America is "racist" and forcing hourly-wage workers to deconstruct their racial and sexual "privilege."

Here is the full story.👇
Last year, Merlo—who has since retired—launched an extensive race reeducation program, built on the core tenets of critical race theory, including "intersectionality," "white privilege," and "unconscious bias." Image
Merlo hosted a conversation with critical race guru Ibram Kendi, who told 25,000 CVS employees that "to be born in [America] is to literally have racist ideas rain on our head consistently and constantly." As a result, Americans are "completely soaked in racist ideas." ImageImage

Magical Centrist (n.): An intellectual who believes that both sides are wrong and that he or she transcends partisan politics through unique brilliance; often a method for securing social status while avoiding tangible commitment; ultimately, ineffective. (See: Libertarian, IDW.)
The entire masthead of Reason magazine in my mentions right now:
The problem with blue-city libertarians is that they punt on the difficult political questions and retreat to a status-oriented but ultimately non-threatening ideological pastiche of drug legalization, age of consent laws, and appeals to harmless abstractions.

I was a leftist in college and participated in the big anti-Iraq War marches in DC. I've abandoned the politics of the Left, but on that point—opposition to the Iraq War—the left-wing activists were absolutely right.
What changed my politics? First, spending time with elite campus leftists, who were complete phonies. Then, traveling to 70+ countries during my career as a documentary filmmaker, which obliterated the political myths of the Left and deepened my love for America.
After this, I did a lot of reading—and, lo and behold, the conservative authors provided a better reflection of the reality I had seen as a documentary filmmaker. Sowell, Murray, Dalrymple, Gilder. Then I did the Claremont Lincoln fellowship and that sealed the deal.

SCOOP: Google has launched an "antiracism" initiative claiming that America is a "system of white supremacy" and that all Americans are "raised to be racist"—including Ben Shapiro, who is depicted as a layer of the "white supremacy pyramid," culminating in "genocide."

Thread.🧵
I have obtained a trove of whistleblower documents from inside Google that reveal the company’s extensive racial-reeducation program, based on the core tenets of critical race theory—including "intersectionality," "white privilege," and "systemic racism."
In a module called "Allyship in Action," Google trained employees to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, and then rank themselves on a hierarchy of "power [and] privilege," then “manage [their] reactions" through "cry[ing]" and "accessing [their] 'happy place.'"

Incredible: as America leaves behind hundreds of citizens in Afghanistan, The Bulwark is mad about my tweets.

In a better world, all of the neocons would be airlifted to Kabul tonight to see up-close the disaster they have wrought.
My point—which the warmongers at The Bulwark cannot comprehend—is that the US succumbed to a postmodern fantasy, imagining that we could turn an illiterate tribal society into a progressive-democratic nation, with Pride celebrations and master's programs in gender studies.
The neocons and the woke both fell to this illusion: the neocons believed they could install free markets and democratic institutions ("government in a box"); the woke believed they could change 1,000 years of backwards culture through TED Talks and gender programs.
