Having used Rufo to drive a wedge into the culture with ginned up B.S., the more mainstream conservative education reformers start to edge away. thedispatch.com/p/the-right-wa… 
Let's not get too excited. The same piece is filled with B.S. about anti-racist pedagogy/CRT/etc..., but it appears to recognize that the push has the potential to become a political liability. Do I think this is a principled stand? Please....it's about power, always.
If there were any principle behind it, they would've resisted Rufo from the beginning, but he was useful for a time. Now, they're going to start to insist they barely knew the guy.
Huh...this is interesting, Rufo has been disappeared from the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism board of advisors. Used to be between Ian Rowe and Michael Shermer, but no more.
There's quite a few people who have been added since the initial forming of the organization, but only Rufo, Helen Pluckrose and Andrew Doyle are no longer listed. Can't say if they opted out or were removed by the organization, though.
Both Rufo and Pluckrose touted their joining of FAIR, but I can't find any tweets from either announcing their leaving.
FAIR often tweets out notices of activities by members of the board of advisors, but a search for Rufo and Pluckrose turns up bupkis. twitter.com/search?q=(advi…
