We invite Americans to check out our shared “anti-woke” K-12 education policy platform for school board trustees. Anyone can run for school board trustee positions on this platform anywhere in America.

The equivalent Canadian site is here:

Together, we can help restore “classical liberal” values to our public education system.

Not alone do you misconstrue and misquote CRT, you also use emotional rhetoric to invoke feelings and a skewed belief that a 50-year old theory is what is creating issues in our education system. You are advocating for hiding and running from the truth - that racism is woven into the threads of American legislature. This is no different than what Hitler did in Nazi Germany. Shame on you.

I answer point by point:

- That racism is institutionalized in America is a lie. Slavery and racial segregation were abolished years ago (those two scourges were promoted by the Democratic Party).

- Comparing criticism of the CRT to Nazism is an irrational equating, since Hitler was not a conservative but a socialist (the party was called the German National-Socialist Party).

Thanks for putting this together Chris.

I'm a Libertarian. This seems like such a waste of energy on both sides of the issue. I try to avoid conflict by not pissing off either side of the fence. The reality is, I don't care what you think. That is the beauty of America. I'm sure if random people I don't care about knew my true thoughts that there would be plenty of conflict. I have a core group of people that I hang out with and respect. I make plenty of money and keep political and cultural discussions out of my business dealings. Life is good! It takes too much energy to fight over dumb things like wokeness.

When they ideologically steamroll your children into hating you and your heritage you will realize your libertarianism has done nothing but enable defeat for the past 60 years. You should be ashamed even adopting that political label for yourself. They care what your children think because they want footsoldiers to build their stupid little utopia on a pile of ashes.

I'm sorry that you seem to believe that the Constitution is meaningless and follow in the corrupted footsteps of the two major political parties. I have raised my children to be free thinkers who believe and stand up for the Constitution. Thankfully for you, the Constitution enables people to be sheep who compliantly go to slaughter.

Have seen EEO trainings for faculty searches that aim to rebut this point: “We must prioritize excellence, which inspires people from all racial backgrounds to achieve their potential.”

With James O'Keefe out at Veritas, how long until you get him training journalism students to do journalism at their universities? If it's an anti-corruption focus along with anti-CRT, it would help conflate corruption w/CRT.
