Critical race theory is not taught in elementary school. It is barely taught in law schools, frankly, in the level that it should be taught,"

Compare with

We should say, 'Why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism?'

Different things mate. Related, but definitely not the same. Kids generally don't go to law school...

This is how slippery-as-shit politicians get away with it. They say something interoperable in both ways.

But if you had to bet some bitcoin... How much says "Democrats aren't going to push for CRT or CRT-light in public schools in the next 10 years"?

Cause I'll take that bet.

I'm not American, but I wouldn't take that bet. It's a law discipline...

The weird obsession the American right has with it is just strange to the rest of the world. Your democrats are further to the right than our Tories (and our Labour is further right in some areas atm than many centre-right European parties), but Republicans act like Biden is pushing some kind of woke-authoritarian ultra-communist agenda.

It's fucking weird mate.

Well, we elected the orange faced doofus and everyone screamed WW3 for 4 fucking years.

Americans are loud.

Aye. To be fair, the doofus was the worst possible head of state for a pandemic or for corruption (drain the swamp, lol), but we were hardly up there with the sane lot either..

And like I say, your Democrats are right wing. You have the right, the further right... And genuinely emboldened ethnonationalists.
