@julie_kelly2 asks the correct question about the DOJ, in light of Merrick Garland’s push yesterday to insert the federal government into local school board controversy over school curricula and CRT:

This particular issue harkens back to the campaign. Biden and most in his party buy into the thesis that America is systemically racist. If one accepts that premise, then certain conclusions follow, as night follows day. First is that the white race is inherently an oppressor
race. Next is that to correct this inherent injustice, the govt needs to promote “equity” as opposed to equal opportunity. And since this is all systemic, the only long lasting cure is to indoctrinate children in the righteousness of these theories. Finally, anyone who disagrees
must, by definition, be either a racist. member of the oppressor race, or a brainwashed “Uncle Tom” member of an oppressed race. The consequence of this way of thinking is that the Federal Govt must insert itself into local politics, because systemic racism is being promoted
and there must threats and violence, because that’s the only way oppressor racists maintain their power. In other words, it’s a fiction built on a fiction, built on another fiction.
For rational citizens of this country who believe in local control of public education, the takeaway should be that reducing anything-or everything- in politics to race takes the government down a slippery slope, tending towards authoritarianism.
