Don’t be fooled by bad actors who use #disinformation to scare you. Fight the #fear with #facts.
#Thread
People have been spreading a false narrative that they are teaching #CRT to kids in school. In #reality CRT is a complicated theory created in law school. Way above the difficulty level of any k-12 curriculum.
#CRT does not teach anyone to be anti-#American. It tries to get a clear picture of how #racism effected our legal system.
They don’t teach #CRT to kids… but also the theory is not anti-white. Again it’s about our countries laws and legislation.
No teacher is trying to get kids to wrap their minds around the complexities of our judicial system. But teaching factual history is something most Americans get behind.
#CRT is not about oppressors or victims. It’s about institutional racism.

And they also don’t teach it to kids.
Just in case we weren’t clear…

This week’s #DirtyDisinfoTrick:
“Do Your Own Research”

Have you ever been in a heated keyboard battle and someone tells you to do your own research?
Well here’s the thing it’s super hard to conduct #research properly. And bad guys know that.

#GoogleIsNotReasearch

We sometimes forget #google while awesome is a search engine not a fact checker. You can find an article supporting almost anything just a few keystrokes away. Image
#Academics are guilty of using jargon and hard to understand language. That’s because they are really writing these papers for other people in their field.

It’s hard to just pick up a scientific journal or google a study and know what they are saying.

On Monday, we released a report showing that our counter-disinfo campaigns DO have a significant impact on the factual knowledge and opinions of Passive Information Consumers. 2/17 medium.com/@realityteam/c…
Who are Passive Information Consumers (PIC)? Pple who spend a lot of time online, but don't read news. @pewresearch estimates they are about 20% of US adults. @knightfdn 100 Million project shows that of people under 35 who didn't vote in 2016, 54% were PIC. 3/17
Passive Information Consumers (PIC) are generally young. Most don't have strong political opinions and are more likely than other to answer "not sure" to questions about current events, their policy opinions and even their political beliefs. 4/17

Last night a #VotingRights bill died in the #Senate as two Democrats sided with Republicans against changing the #FILIBUSTER rules.

So what is a filibuster? Check out our #thread to find out the history of this controversial practice.
You might be thinking of a #filibuster as a sweaty congressman holding the House hostage by talking for hours. That’s not really the case anymore.
Instead it’s more of a silent game of #political #chess.
