The National Education Association has approved a plan to "publicize" critical race theory and dedicate a "team of staffers" to assist union members looking to "fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric."

New Business Item 39 also declares that the union opposes bans on critical race theory and the New York Times’ controversial 1619 Project – which roughly half the U.S. states have already implemented.

So who is giving these guys these talking points?

I forget who, but maybe 2-3 years back I think someone (maybe famous, like Miley Cyrus or Taylor Swift or something) posted a screenshot of some email they got from some leftist organization who emailed them a list of leftist talking points that seemed in sync with current events and narrative. So, my point is they do organize, and they reach out to influential people and likely spend significant effort turning the person into an asset, and arming them with propaganda.

youtube etc,

I confess I still have an account on youtube. I'd say it's enemy territory, but when I'm there, I'm just to point out why I think somebody is wrong, and to encourage people to move and explore other video sites.

Go to Jimmy Dore's channel and read the comments.

It's fine that Facebook is an echo chamber, and Twatter has always been entirely useless. Youtube isn't, quite yet. It's much more worthless than it used to be though.

Don't think for a minute Tweeter doesn't know about these Chinese Bots - and is in it with them.

Furthermore, there would be no protests at school board meetings if CRT wasn’t being considered. But there’s protests all over the country over this. Clearly CRT instruction is at minimum being considered.

Michelle Obama.

She orders them to carry her hibachi from house to house to cook the white babies she loves to eat.

says it will vote against directors who fail to act

And just like that, complete fucking crickets. Not Jack shot about CRT in the news. I mean, this shit switched on a fucking dime.

I guess the DNC found out it’s not a good topic for the elections.

Rufo: ... The GOP then adopted a smart frame — “parental rights,” “the parents’ party” — that created a set of policies and connotations that is very appealing to families. In the most recent generic ballot polling, parents with children in the home support Republicans by a 28-point margin. This is a political sea change. It drove the success of Glenn Youngkin and school choice initiatives across the country. The impact is undeniable.

Daniel Miller: One of the persistent issues faced by opposition activists is the problem of defining the contemporary regime. You’ve successfully popularized the term Critical Race Theory to characterize the current regime ideology, but how do you see the relationship between this ideology and the big corporate and political forces promoting it? Do you view them as motivated by sincere ideological commitments?
Christopher Rufo: There are the true believers, but for most people, it is a rationalization. The executives at Xerox and Walmart are not sincerely committed to CRT, but the entire incentive structure that surrounds them creates an enormous pressure to adopt these beliefs, at least as status markers or reputational insurance policies. It is much easier to bend the knee for George Floyd and write a $10 million check to BLM than to say “no.”

For conservatives, we have to realize that the game is not to debate the epiphenomenon of ideology, but to relentlessly unearth, attack and dislodge the broader structural phenomenon that underpins it. This means attacking it on moral, aesthetic, financial, legal, and bureaucratic grounds, in addition to the more straightforward style of intellectual debate. Governor DeSantis understands this better than anyone. He demonstrated in his fight against Disney that conservatives have leverage against corporate power, as long as they are willing to use it. The trick is to replicate that strategy across multiple domains and to shift incentives by changing the law.

Obama is controlling Biden.

Money to schools with strings attached

It’s now changed to “what do Republicans mean when they say woke?” These fuckers are incorrigible.
