Today's example of The Liar comes by way of @kirk_krogstad - he is the type of Liar that comes in under the guise of "just seeking information". But they always overplay their hand and we were happy to expose this bitch. Let's get to it...🧵

Liar @kirk_krogstad starts off by responding to a 2019 @Jenn_McW video warning parents about indoctrination in schools. Any parent in K-12 today can easily verify how accurate she was.

Instead of addressing those points, he asked about the SEL connection. Ok, fine.

This is what we gave Liar @kirk_krogstad . In this X article we curated:

- 3 tools
- 2 articles
- A nearly 3 hour podcast from @ConceptualJames

Each item dives into either the history of SEL and/or explains what CASEL is doing today.

Liar @kirk_krogstad called it "partisan trash" but of course addressed not a single word of any of the items we gave him.

He did, however, shared an article from Vox.

We repeat, Liar @kirk_krogstad shared an article from Vox.

That was the moment Liar @kirk_krogstad overplayed his hand. But wait....he asked if we could have a "real discussion", didn't he?

So @Jenn_McW said sure. And look at the dishonest response from Liar @kirk_krogstad - no one said he was working for Vox, but he knows he can't have a live discussion and conveniently skips over that offer.

Now that the walls are tightening, Liar @kirk_krogstad falls back on the go-to "it's all made up / its not happening". But most of the time when The Liar does that, he will also claim that it's not in their child's school....which is perfect for us and exactly where we want them to go.

So we offered @kirk_krogstad a live discussion AND that we would use his own school as evidence. We even let him pick the date/time most convenient for him.

But wait...the very conversation he asked for is now....also junk?

Naturally, @Jenn_McW could not contain her glee and was quite unprofessional about this whole exchange.

At this point The Liar is going to be angry and will attempt to squirm out of this predicament. So Liar @kirk_krogstad goes back to trying to bait us to provide evidence so he can move the goalpost and engage in bad faith.

We didn't take the bait but instead upped our offer. We said that @Jenn_McW wouldn't even need a couple of days to look into his school for evidence of SEL/CRT, but that she would do it LIVE on the spot.

And this is all Liar @kirk_krogstad can say.

The Liar doesn't want actual evidence. What @kirk_krogstad wanted to do was discredit us because no matter what we would have given him, he would have operated in bad faith, be obtuse, and move the goalpost.

- "That doesn't count"
- "That is an isolated incident"
- "Show it to me in a binder"
- "Show it to me in the classroom"
- "Show me a video of a teacher teaching it"

These dishonest bitches can only operate in the dark. This Liar overplayed his hand when said our curated information was "partisan junk" and then shared a Vox article.

This is why he had to twist in the wind to avoid doing a livestream because he knows what would have happened.

What Courage Is A Habit puts out is rock solid and no one can challenge the facts and validity live. No one has. No one can. And no one will.

It doesn't mean that we are never wrong and we don't go back and correct ourselves. It means our opponents are dishonest liars, and when we get them live, we'd annihilate them. And they know it.

Prologue: In an effort to salvage his pride, Liar @kirk_krogstad comes back with all of this...

We said, we agreed. Let's not avoid a real discussion. We can even do it in a few short hours and gave Liar (now coward) @kirk_krogstad one more opportunity.

Annnnnd there he goes. See, just a bitch. @kirk_krogstad All mouth.
