I will concede that they are teaching Critical Race Theory in jail EVERY BIT AS MUCH as they are teaching it in the public schools, which all but the stupidest motherfuckers on Planet Earth understand is “not at all”.

GOP 2022: We Are the Stupidest Motherfuckers on Planet Earth
This is how Team MAGA is going to gin up sympathy for the insurrectionists:

“They’re being force-fed Critical Race Theory! In prison! OH, THE HUMANITY!”

To them, CRT is forced Deep State indoctrination. It’s every bit as threatening as Dr. Fauci & the COVID vaccines.
You wouldn’t think that anybody would be stupid enough to fall for this, but every year I am periodically reminded of just how flamboyantly and brain-meltingly stupid the average Trump supporter is, and some of them are even stupider than that

Republicans everywhere are insisting that liberal school boards are brainwashing our children with Critical Race Theory.

This is a lie. Many of them know this. But it wins them elections.

When truth & power are at cross purposes, the GOP will choose power.
A report was released yesterday where the 1/6 insurrectionists insisted they were “force fed” CRT in jail. (My gut reaction featured many intemperate words.)

“CRT indoctrination” was never a grievance that could be a legitimately addressed. It was always a political dog whistle.
You can’t tell Democrats to “Stop forcing Critical Race Theory on us” when Democrats were never doing that in the first place.

But politics is far less about what is really happening than what people BELIEVE is happening.

The grievance, not the resolution, was always the goal.

Maybe the enormous amount of trouble Rittenhouse clearly went to in order to insert himself into this crowd carrying a semiautomatic weapon suggests that he wasn’t exactly “minding his own business” when the guy with the skateboard viewed him as a threat
Rittenhouse’s defenders focus on how THREATENED he felt, while deliberately yadda-yaddaing over the fact that he was not licensed to carry a gun & was openly carrying an AR-15 in a crowd 40 miles from his home.

I know these things aren’t important to them, but context matters.
Mind you, the NRA would love nothing more than to eliminate any and all restrictions on age, and what kind of weapon you’re allowed carry in public. If Rittenhouse manages to get away with this, I’m sure they will be watching this case very closely for precedent.

While I do not entirely dismiss your goal, I regret to inform you that there is no way to “talk about race” that will not alienate the segment of the voting population that adamantly takes offense at any suggestion that racism remains a thing
The last six months of CRT-related discussion has hammered home the point that there is literally nothing you can say about racial inequality that won’t disturb the Princess-and-the-Pea-level sensitivity of a MAGA conservative: “STOP ACCUSING MY WHITE CHILDREN OF BEING RACIST!”
So although I am certainly open to a realpolitik solution that would incentivize white voters to embrace racial progress, I struggle to consider exactly how such a thing could be done outside of “slip it into the background without really talking about it.”

R: How dare Sesame Street advocate vaccination when it has become such a partisan and divisive issue

D: How do you suppose it “became” partisan

R: Clearly Dr. Fauci, the CDC, and all pro-vaccine scientists are involved in a major Deep State conspiracy

D: That sounds reasonable
R: Besides, the safety of the vaccine has not been settled

D: You say that about any issue where you don’t like the results

R: That’s ridiculous

D: Like climate change

R: Needs more study

D: Or the 2020 election

R: Voter fraud

D: Or the Mueller Report

R: No collusion
D: Your resistance says more about you than it does the vaccine

R: What’s wrong with my body, my choice? HUH?

D: Because eradication of a disease requires—

R: HYPOCRITES!

D: Your allegation of hypocrisy does not make the situations analagous

R: I distinctly said “hypocrites”

D: I see

R: And furthermore, Pants Up Don’t Loot Free Kyle Rittenhouse Blue Lives Matter Boycott the NFL Go Woke Go Broke Pocahontas LOL
R: Why haven’t you wokesters figured out that the most racist thing you can do is accuse white people of being racist
