“Louisiana doesn’t properly teach about slavery, therefore critical race theory is good” is not an argument that logically follows.

I'm saying critical race theory isn't actually being taught nationwide, but this nonsense is, so it doesn't make sense to waste energy over something that isn't even being taught when we should be focusing on something that's an actual problem.

(And I happen to support CRT, but that's a different conversation.)

CRT is a stalking horse. The GOP's goal (insofar as they even have one beyond stirring up dissension) is to prevent schoola from giving students the ability to recognize the GOP's ethically bankrupt positions across the board.

We should all be very familiar with the GOP's MO. They find something they can claim is controversial (especially to the poorly informed voters they love to target), point their fingers and howl, extract as much money and votes as they can, then rinse, later repeat with a different subject.

Some of their attempts are wildly successful (like abortion  or immigration), others are failures (banning meat, surrendering to the UN), and some land in-between (like fearmongering trans people). Even the failures lurk around the fringes of American politics for decades, and the successes permanently warp national debate and policy, but Republicans don't care.
