Senator Rick Scott continues to project optimism about the electoral climate for Republicans, forecasting an "unbelievable" shift in school boards in 2022. During an interview Wednesday morning on Fox News Radio's Brian Kilmeade Show, the Senator said there would be an "unbelievable number of school board changes this next year."
Scott expects cultural backlash to prevail, "Because parents are fed up with these school boards telling them that your kid's oppressed or your kid's an oppressor. That is so crazy," Scott added.
Scott, the chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, closed out 2021 trumpeting much of the same message he has all year, an expectation that critical race theory can be used to mobilize November voters.
People against the teaching of Critical Race Theory want to keep the whitewashed view of race history, because the real truth is so depressing and damning of White people.

Any critical theory- there are many- are deconstructive in nature.
Education should be constructive.
Historical revisionism is a standard part of correcting the historical record, and can even be revolutionary, but I hardly think any form of it should be taught as the standard narrative to children, as opposed to instructing them in histiography and letting them come to their own conclusions.
Also, if state provided services, e.g. public schools, actually are services that are paid for with tax dollars, then it would logically follow that if they-parents- didn't like something about the curriculum that they'd be able to voice their concerns.

Emboldened by a string of off-cycle electoral victories, Republicans are embracing the culture war battles that Donald Trump waged from the White House as a strategy for winning back control of the House and Senate in the 2022 midterm elections. "Lean Into the Culture War," was the title of a June memo from the leader of the House Republican Study Committee, Indiana congressman Jim Banks.
Grievance politics is not a new strategy for Republicans. In 1968, Richard Nixon employed the "Southern Strategy" to exploit white racial grievances coded in language such as "law and order" and "states' rights." But as partisanship grows and the parties become increasingly hostile to one another, so too has the potential political benefit of cultural warfare that inflames division and energizes their base.
"Untrained and inexperienced people who have no business setting schools standards win election through fear mongering and will likely set back American School systems more thus putting our children in an even deeper deficit compared to the rest of the developed world."
Hey kids the contemporary wisdom here is that 2 + 2 equals 4 but you know what Betty's Mom over there doesn't think that is right or they find it too uncomfortable to talk about so we'll let you children decide what conclusions to come to.
Also instructing children on history means putting accuracy into it. Unless they know what happened good and bad they'll never be able to ask the right questions.
More like they'll learn 'um about all the good truth stuff like how flat the earth is, how Australia is fake, how vaccines are THE DEVIL'S WORK and how 9/11 was Obama's fault.

If you don't know the difference between fields of deduction, like math, logic, and praxeology vs. the more empirically based social sciences then I don't know what to tell you to begin with.
Maybe you're confused about what critical race theory is, I recommend the work of the scholars at new discourses.
I actually haven't had someone explain it which is why I ask. Only a sophist seeks to obscure definitions.
But I mean the wiki for crt will tell you that it draws from socialist thinkers, so pretend all you want that it's just a new methodology for looking at history, but we both know it's socialism with a new coat of paint.
I wouldn't mind if it were an elective that kids could choose, but being part of the universal curricular structure is asinine.
