The Maddening Critical Race Theory Debate

Did you miss this part? - bolded below.

....New York Times , Washington Post, MSNBC and elsewhere have begun spinning a new mythology that presents critical race theory as a benign academic concept, casts its detractors as right-wing extremists driven by racial resentment, and portrays legislation against critical race theory as an attempt to ban teaching about the history of slavery and racism. All three charges are false........."

No one is proposing history being ignored or banned (Heck other than all history being ignored which seems to be the default in K-12 the last 30 years which laid the ground work that enabled CRT proponents to push their execrable revision).

So New York Times versus Wall Street Journal - One paper has maintained a good reputation one hasn't - who you going to believe at this point?
