CRT exposes “the methods by which those who have traditionally been in positions of cultural, political and economic power preserve their influence over time,” says jasonintrator. That is why it is a “target”, he argues in a guest essay
the past two years a media campaign has incited a moral panic about public schools. Its advocates, from journalists such as Christopher Rufo and Tucker Carlson, to politicians including Virginia’s Governor Glenn Youngkin and Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis, maintain that public schools impose leftist indoctrination on children. It has been funded and promoted by organisations associated with free-market solutions to social and political problems, such as the Manhattan Institute.
These laws are purposefully vague. They are easily interpreted as banning the teaching of the history that provides the basis of’s insights. If one bans this history, there will be even less support for needed structural changes to address inequality, including changes that would benefit all Americans .
The use of race to marshal white American opposition to programmes that benefit them as well is part of American history. Starting in the 1970s, the Republican “southern strategy” seeded among white Americans the idea that the benefits of greater taxes flow mainly to black Americans.
More recently, the attack on public schools has shifted to a new strategy. In 2013 Vladimir Putin’s Russia passed a “Gay Propaganda Law” banning the teaching of “non-traditional” relationships to minors. Whereas earlier the campaign claimed that public schools were awash with, it now targets “gender ideology” more specifically. The campaign suggests that the goal of inclusive and equitable gender pedagogy is not equality, butdomination that usurps traditional gender roles.
What are the ultimate goals of this campaign? Is it, as it, as proponents claim, to free public institutions from what they claim is leftist indoctrination? Or is it something else? The Republican “southern strategy” was designed to marshal broad support for lower taxes on wealthy Americans. One goal of the campaign againstand “gender ideology” seems to be, in a similar way, to marshal broader support for defunding the public school system, which taxes fund.
