You can no more implement CRT into K-12 than you can quantum mechanics or the study of the untranslated version of Sanskrit literature.

Here is a prime example of what CRT sets out to do, rewrite history.
Perhaps you could point out specific factual inaccuracies? No?

As long as Democrats continue to call those who vote contrary to them racists, white supremacists, homophobes, etc, they’re going to keep losing voters. That’s a losing strategy, all it does is alienate. It might poll well on Twitter, or Reddit, but it doesn’t in real life.
Maybe, just maybe, people aren’t very happy with Biden. We’ve seen it countless times before, where if a presidents approval rating is low, that is reflected across state and local votes.
But hey, maybe it is just white supremacy. Sure, in VA, black votes for Republicans were up compared to the Biden/Trump election (still majority Democrat). Sure, the Republican Party took 55% (I think) of the Hispanic vote in VA. Sure, the first Latino AG in VA history was elected, and coming from the Republican Party, and sure, the running mate of Youngkin was an African American woman. Despite that, isn’t it obvious these are white supremacists?

Quite a valid point.
There is nothing about them being black or Hispanic that would prevent them from being white supremacists, but I do agree that not every Republican is a white supremacist.
Nevertheless, racist dog-whistles were a significant feature of Youngkin's campaign.

Oh please. I’ve been told so many times that black people can’t possibly be racist, but now they can be white supremacists? Therein lies the question, can you be a white supremacist without being racist? I think not.
I think if you want to, you can find racism wherever you want. Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, the Martians, if you want to find racism, you will. And in some cases, it’s valid racism. In many others, it’s not.
I thought Youngkin had a nice quote regarding the education for kids in school, talking about America’s history. How kids will learn the good, and how they have to learn about the dark history this country has and the wrong they’ve done. But what they’re not going to do is pit one group against another, and say that one is worse, or better. Because everybody needs to be on the same team, not sorted out by color.
Maybe I’m naive, but I fail to see racism there. You can if you want to, but I don’t.

Yeah, right from the beginning you started spouting BS..."Before 1930, the Democrats were the Conservative party" You left out quite a bit of history there.
Next thing you'll be telling us is the founders envisioned The United States of America joining a global world order in the future. They really wern't classical liberals, they were pro Monarchy. LOL
That's not what CRT does. So he's opposed to a thing that he invented in his mind.
a candidate using a racist dog-whistle does not mean that every person that voted for them is racist. It doesn't mean that if a black person, or even a large number of black people, vote for him, that it means he didn't use a racist dog-whistle. The reason they call it a dog-whistle is because it isn't overtly racist, but it gives confidence to people who are racist that this person is not hostile to their point of view. It doesn't mean he holds that point of view, it doesn't mean he outright supports it, it means he's willing to give comfort to the ones who do. That meaning can go unheard by many others, especially people who aren't racist.
Racism is a characteristic of a power structure. I have probably told you that black people can't be racist to white people (because of the power structure), but I probably also mentioned that they are, and have been, racist to other black people. Facets of this racism have been called "colorism" by some.
I agree racism is omnipresent. The error is in thinking it's about individual actions.
What a nice set of words. Unfortunately, there are many people using words like that to remove history from the history curriculum.
There might not be any in that statement. It depends on what he does with the power of governor.

Wouldn't expect anything else from a Collectivist. This is wrong.
This is true, but you'd have to go back to the 1850s to find a national party more conservative than the Democrats, and it was not relevant to what I was illustrating.
I can't think of a single reason I would make that claim. By contrast, I can provide support for everything I did say, and so far, your only criticism is that I simplified too much. I'm not sure about "too much". but I agree that I greatly simplified what happened.
I don't think collectivism is a valid method to set up society. Try again, and see if you can find an actual error.

Individual actions are always motivated by something. Individual actions can create collectives. Individuals can create racist collectives.
To say his error in thinking of racist behavior, is thinking it's about individual actions is incorrect.
Culture and legal norms shape individual actions. The influence goes both ways.

That's not what you said here.
Damn boy, you spin more than a merry-go-round.
That's exactly what I said. Racism comes from cultural and legal norms. It's not about individuals actions in any but the most banal of ways.
