Beto O'Rourke becomes the first prominent Democrat to flip against critical race theory.

"I don't think [CRT] should be taught in our schools."
Beto is a shameless flip-flopper, but the lesson is clear: critical race theory is toxic with voters and the Democrats' polling on culture war issues has collapsed. Conservatives must go on offense. Make the opposition defend CRT and bash them through the midterms.
Beto has given Republicans a gift. They can now say "even Beto O'Rourke says critical race theory shouldn't be taught in schools."
Sorry, Beto!

These women are running a "Sexy Summer Camp" for children in rural Kentucky, with lessons on "sex liberation," "gender exploration," "BDSM," "being a sex worker," "self-managed abortions," and "sexual activity while using licit and illicit drugs." ImageImageImageImage
Here's the agenda for the camp. I'll be doing a more extensive report in the coming weeks. ImageImage
The leader of Sexy Summer Camp recommends that children begin to masturbate as toddlers.

"Masturbation is really healthy and I recommend it to people of all ages. All ages. As soon as my nephews could talk, they were doing that."

Critical race theory founder Kimberlé Crenshaw admits that the anti-CRT movement is winning the language war. "When we're caught in a 'is it CRT or not CRT' [debate], they win. That's the whole point."
Crenshaw fears that critical race theory will meet the same fate as the left-wing activist organization ACORN, which conservatives successfully destroyed in 2009.

"You can run from the name. That's not what they're after. They're after the substance."
Crenshaw is right: we are winning the language war, we are going after the substance, and, with any luck, we will abolish critical race theory from America's public institutions. ⚔️

UC Berkeley education professor Zeus Leonardo: "To abolish whiteness is to abolish white people. That's very uncomfortable perhaps, but it asks about our definitions of what race is and what racial justice might mean."

This is what teachers are learning.
This kind of language—abolishing an entire race of people—should be stigmatized, not subsidized by taxpayers. The public university system has been corrupted by ideologues who pursue far-left activism, not genuine knowledge. We need deep structural reforms to turn it around.
And yes, this is absolutely critical race theory. Image

Almost finished building out the studio: camera, sound, lights, broadcast capabilities. Will be announcing a new project in the coming weeks. Image
For the gearheads: Canon C200 with L-series lenses through a Teradeck system for picture; Neumann TLM-103 into Apollo Twin X for sound; Godox lighting system for key, fill, and backlight; Samsung 75" Frame TV for city background; paper rollers for simple photo-style backdrop.
Some design comps 👀 Image

"What Rufo has been cleverly doing is cherry-picking the worst examples that he can find of lessons in classrooms or training materials for teachers and saying, 'that is CRT' ... And the thing is—it fucking worked."

Even my enemies can't help but give me the W.
John Oliver spent 28 minutes hyperventilating about the anti-CRT movement, repeating the dumbest tropes, like "CRT is graduate-level legal theory" and never taught in K-12 schools. But he's doing us an unintentional favor: the more the public learns about CRT, the more we win.
According to Democratic Party pollsters, 61 percent of swing district voters agree with the statement: "Democrats are teaching kids as young as five Critical Race Theory, which teaches that America is a racist country and that white people are racist."

"In America, I can do anything I want and I teach that to my children. And the person who teaches my little pecan-colored kids that they're somehow oppressed based on the color of their skin would be absolutely wrong and absolutely at war with me."
There are two competing philosophies right now:

• One says America is systemically racist and your skin color determines your outcomes.

• Another says America is a land of progress and you can chart your own future through your human agency.

Choose one—and choose wisely.
I've created the Critical Race Theory Briefing Book, which includes everything you need to know about critical race theory and how to fight it in your community.
