Erasing meaning is the whole point of making it an acronym if you're a #GOP #PIO
Like saying #BLM instead of #BlackLivesMatter
Like talking about a #COLA instead of a #CostOfLiving Increase
They only say " #CriticalRaceTheory " bc they know those are the three scariest words their base can hear (after "taxes")
This is the visual #artist Jonathan Harris from #Detroit #Michigan
The title of his work is called "#CriticalRaceTheory"

O N E of the M A N Y reasons White elites don't want their 'kids' learning citical race theory : it exposes their self-interests & self -indulgence ?
"In the early years of critical race theory, the realists were in a large majority. For example, scholars questioned whether the much-vaunted system of civil rights remedies ended up doing people of color much good. In a classic article in the Harvard Law Review, Derrick Bell argued that civil rights advances for blacks always seemed to coincide with changing economic conditions and the self-interest of elite whites. Sympathy, mercy, and evolving standards of social decency and conscience amounted to little, if anything. "
Kimberlé W Crenshaw for the Guardian:
American democracy is in peril. And racism will be the sledgehammer that destroys it
The ‘war against woke’ is not just a war against critical race theory and Black history. It is a war on our democracy

@bhawthorne There is only one human race, so #racism must be *taught*. In other words, the existence of racism in today’s ‘#DNA world’ is a result of #PoorEducation.
Why do you think #BananaRepublicans are so intent on outlawing #CriticalRaceTheory in *schools*?!
Later, Katie Sullivan, the fmr acting asst AG under #Trump, advocates for removing so-called #CRT from public #education w/o saying how the federal govt would accomplish that. (Elementary & secondary education curricula are typically set at the state & local level, not by the federal govt.)
“The noxious tenets of #CriticalRaceTheory & #gender ideology should be excised from curriculum in every single public school in this country,” Sullivan says.
