Christopher Rufo has gotten stuff done. As we’ve said, he’s become a clearinghouse for whistleblowers uploading documents from their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) seminars and assignments from kids’ classrooms. He brings the receipts and doesn’t apologize for what he’s doing.
Because the right-wing has coalesced around anti-CRT efforts, leftists, meaning the mainstream news media, have decided they have to champion critical race theory, but they can’t decide if it’s not being taught in K-12 or if it should be taught in K-12 public school classrooms. On Saturday, Rufo pulled up 10 articles, both news stories and opinion pieces, from the Washington Post alone.
The @washingtonpost has published 10 articles attacking my work and playing language games with critical race theory.
But they cannot hide the truth: CRT is a reductive, neo-Marxist ideology that seeks to divide us into "oppressor-oppressed," then subvert the Constitution. pic.twitter.com/Js5kq6axhM

“Critical race theory’s opponents are sure it’s bad. Whatever it is.” “Power Up: Critical race theory advances the GOP’s culture war.” “The White Scare: The critical race theory debate echoes with history.” “Why conservatives really fear critical race theory.”
OK, we get that conservatives think it’s bad, but can you come up with some solid arguments why critical race theory should be integrated into public school curriculums?
The more success the more resistance.

They’re upset that more people are reading what you have to say.

Why don't WP/NPR/NYT post articles showing some of the most egregious classroom practices (whether or not the schools call them "critical race theory") in even a FEW American grade schools? It is incredibly dishonest to claim that this is a dispute about teaching "history."

CRT is silly. Period. Prove me wrong. When doing so, use logic and words with proper meaning.

One of those articles caused me to unsubscribe. Vote with your dollars.

I have learned over the last 5 years, that the more they smear the more frightened they are.

Theyre clearly invested in promoting CRT or they wouldn't waste so much time.

What you do when you can’t defend CRT.

The Washington Post is a rag. Treat it as such.

These fools are whistling past the electoral graveyard but too stupid to see it. They cling to this narrative with a political death grip
— Taliesin (@taliesi_bard) July 24, 2021
They’re on their heels. They still can’t decide on the narrative.
1) “That’s not CRT!”
2) “Nobody is even teaching CRT in K-12”
3) “Teaching CRT is necessary and good!”

Exactly. Their best argument for CRT is that conservatives are against it, so it must be good.
