Well, it appears that when the right wing decides to engage in it, they go to full on censorship: https://thehill.com/homenews/state-w...clude-critical
I have been critical of critical race theory, but censoring it from curricula is flatly ridiculous. And probably unconstitutional.
This is exactly the loathsome response I predicted, and now you’re going to see every governor of a red state pull the same shit. |
It's not a response. It's how they've been operating for decades. The Alabama board of education banned teaching yoga and meditation in schools in 1993.
Their House just passed a bill to lift the ban so long as no one uses Sanskrit, ESPECIALLY Namaste. Because Alabama school children will all immediately renounce Jesus if they hear "uttanasana" instead of "chair pose."
We'll see if it passes their Senate.
Banning and boycotting things they don't like is in their DNA. They've just rebranded to "cancel culture" efforts to call out their own bad behavior.
