All righty.

So one of the big movements over the course of the last 20 years in the United States is toward the full left-wing indoctrination of your children in public schools. Now, this has become most prominent with regard to critical race theory, which of course is a hot issue in the Virginia gubernatorial election, Chris Rufo

over the Manhattan Institute doing amazing work exposing the impact of critical race theory

and how your kids are taught racial essentialism being taught that they ought to feel guilty

because of their whiteness, the basic idea that American institutions were shot through with

racism, all of this being taught to the lowest levels,

lowest grade levels, right? Ibermax-Kendi boiled down four small children. And parents saw this and parents rebelled. And this, of course, became a major issue because over the course of the pandemic, when kids were home from school and suddenly they were zooming into school, parents could finally see what their kids were being taught. But the truth is, the impact of critical race theory has been far less when it comes to students than the impact of gender theory when it comes to students. The left-wing sexual mores that have been used in public schools across the country

have now become overwhelming. To pretend that this doesn't exist, this is the game the left likes to

play. They take over the public schooling system, then they proceed to shovel their values in the face of your children and not to tell you about it. To have discussions with your kids you don't think are appropriate for them to be having with your kids. To never tell you about it, to suggest that you're a bigot if you don't want your kids taught about this stuff. And then if you know that they are doing this, then they gaslight you and they say that it's not happening at all. So this is the model that is now being used when it comes to Florida. Okay. So again, we saw this with critical race theory, that the moment that states began banning critical race theory in the classroom, we started to see a whole group of people on the left say a couple of things that contradicted each other. Number one, they would say critical race theory isn't taught to kids.

And then when you would show that it was, they would say, okay, but even if it is taught to kids, it's good that it's taught to kids. You can't have it both ways. Either it's not taught to kids, which is good, or it is taught to kids and it's good, and you don't want us to stop you from teaching it to kids. Now, public schools are not places for free speech.

They're not.
