😄 I'm cracking up over here. We have to take the opportunities for good-natured debate that we can get I suppose.

But we aren’t talking about a blanket ban (sadly CRT is still being widely published in books and training materials around the world). And also, the bill *does* define CRT in a way which is legally coherent:

"House Bill 377 makes it a crime for public educators—including at the university level—to promote the idea “that individuals, by virtue of sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin, are inherently responsible for actions committed in the past by other members of the same sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin."

This is as clear a definition of the problems with CRT as one could hope for I think. If we were talking about banning any mention of CRT in any form, I would (with bile in my throat), oppose that attack on free speech. I know we agree that ideas, even terrible ones, should be argued against instead of silenced. But making it illegal to teach a demonstrably racist ideology in schools is something we shouldn't even have to think about.

We don't teach black children that they're responsible for the worst behavour of other black people. We shouldn't do that to white children either.
