I got a laugh out of this:

A new bill in Oklahoma forbids teaching that “one race is the unique oppressor in the institution of slavery” and that “another race is the unique victim in the institution of slavery.”

is slavery and oppression unique to any one race and is any race unique in being enslaved and oppressed?

Or you could ask "how were the Americas unique in moralizing and legitimizing slavery?"

During the second half of the 17th century, a terrible transformation, the enslavement of people solely on the basis of race, occurred in the lives of African Americans living in North America. These newcomers still numbered only a few thousand, but the bitter reversals they experienced—first subtle, then drastic—would shape the lives of all those who followed them, generation after generation.

Like most huge changes, the imposition of hereditary race slavery was gradual, taking hold by degrees over many decades. It proceeded slowly, in much the same way that winter follows fall. On any given day, in any given place, people can argue about local weather conditions. “Is it getting colder?” “Will it warm up again this week?” The shift may come early in some places, later in others. But eventually, it occurs all across the land. By January, people shiver and think back to September, agreeing that “it is definitely colder now.” In 1700, a 70-year-old African American could look back half a century to 1650 and shiver, knowing that conditions had definitely changed for the worse.

Don’t worry the white wing is on top of it.
Today they announced:
We currently have a record number of Black Republicans running for office and winning at all levels.

Over 40 Black Republicans are running in GOP primaries for both local and federal office.

So, out of 535 elected federal positions, and all 50 states, over 3,000 counties, and over 19,000 cities and towns, you’re bragging about having 40 black candidates out of the tens of thousands of federal and local elections?

40, out of tens of thousands. Less than 1%.

The Democrats have more than that in the House

It's that thing that Progressives likes to say--going in the right direction.

An in-depth analysis of CRT--its roots and philosophical basis and its goals according to and citing its founders and theorists. An excellent deconstruction of what it is rather than a general opinion of what it purports to be. The first 15 minutes is chatty introduction. The final hour and 15 minutes is the meat. Really, really worth watching

American citizens exercising their rights at the poll is not the Trumplican/domestic terrorist way, physically threatening and attacking board members is the Trumplican way

Nothing says you don’t believe in small government and local control more than prohibiting school boards from exercising local control because the state knows better
Next up State curriculum
It’s increasingly obvious that the right-wing assault on public schools is intended to redirect public money to private schools that indoctrinate students in Christian nationalism.

when the government removes government mandates, and allows its citizens to choose whether or not to wear masks, that is less government. Not more government.

See if you can follow…if the citizens of one community all want to wear masks, they can all wear masks!!!

it’s less government, not more. you’re denying reality again.

The party screaming freedom wants to put government installed cameras in classrooms to surveil teachers.
