They're really trying to make Critical Hand Theory happen. ImageImageImageImage
"America is an institutionally right-handed society, creating unearned power and privilege for people who are born right-handed. In order to address systemic hand disparities, we must use Critical Hand Theory to disrupt right-handedness and create hand equity." —Ibram H. Kendi Image
For reference: the first tweet is real; the second tweet is satire. It's not easy to tell the difference anymore.

The NSBA's gambit to label parents "domestic terrorists" has collapsed. Their organization has splintered, their strategy has backfired, and their board has been forced to apologize.

I'm going to explain exactly how we did it.🧵
First, when the letter came out, we immediately framed the narrative on social media that the NSBA and AG Garland wanted to "label parent domestic terrorists." My initial tweet did 14 million impressions, sparking a week-long media cycle that exploited their reckless language.
We then deployed a rhetorical ju-jitsu move, debunking the false claim that parents had been violent against school officials and recasting the dynamic as the Biden Admin using the FBI to suppress parents and criminalize dissent. Suddenly, they were on the defensive.

The fight against critical race theory is reaching a crescendo. My colleagues at the @ManhattanInst have created some incredible resources for parents and policymakers. Let's review.🧵
First, the great @JamesRCopland has created the gold standard for state legislation, designing a bill that promotes transparency, gives parents an opt-out, and protects students against race essentialism and compelled speech.

Second, @CharlesFLehman has released this toolkit for parents, defining the key terms of critical race theory, explaining how parents can get organized, and providing specific action items for success.

SCOOP: @Walmart has launched a critical race theory training program that denounces the United States as a "white supremacy system" and teaches white hourly-wage workers that they are guilty of "white supremacy thinking" and "internalized racial superiority."

Buckle up.🧵
Walmart launched the program with the Racial Equity Institute in 2018 and has trained more than 1,000 employees on the core principles of critical race theory, including "intersectionality," "internalized racial oppression,"and "white anti-racist development."
The program begins with the claim that the United States is a "white supremacy system," designed by white Europeans for maintaining "white skin access to power and privilege." Whites are thus subjected to "racist conditioning" that indoctrinates them into "white supremacy."

SCOOP: @TerryMcAuliffe claims that critical race theory has "never been taught in Virginia," but I've obtained a memo from the State Superintendent directly promoting CRT, calling it "an important analytic tool" for addressing "power and privilege" in all Virginia schools.
And here's another one: the Virginia Department of Education is currently promoting an initiative called "anti-racism in education," which features the critical race guru Ibram X. Kendi and explicitly deriving their definitions from "critical race theory."

This all began in 2015, when @TerryMcAuliffe was Virginia governor and initiated the first documented statewide Department of Education training program on "critical race theory." It's expanded through the Northam administration—and must be stopped.

LMAO: The AAPF, the leading critical race theory activist organization, has created a strategic plan to mobilize left-wing media and K-12 teachers against me, @ConceptualJames, @AsraNomani, and others.

We have them on the defensive and they are flailing.
It's quite interesting: in the guidebook, critical race theory founder Kimberlé Crenshaw admits that CRT "originated in law schools," but was adopted by "K-12 teachers" and applied to the public school curriculum.
The guide is filled with the hysterical language of the Left: "disinformation," "McCarthyism," "January 6," "boogeyman," "Steve Bannon," "alt-right," "Big Lie," "Koch brothers," "fringe element," "extremist," "voter suppression," "right-wing attacks."

Not a sign of confidence.

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.
