which encompasses a lot of stuff other than "CRT" too, seems to be a much more important factor in driving the politics of education––which makes sense when you look at math and reading scores. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

Putting these and other items together, the overall picture seems to suggest that there are two ways of being upset about CRT: a substantive, viewpoint based objection; and a *why aren't you teaching math and reading* priorities-style objection. And the latter, — PolitiTweet.org

"Critical race theory" is mentioned a bit more in the following question: https://t.co/cGz7XW5qJf — PolitiTweet.org

Meanwhile, when you ask people about the most important goals public schools might try to achieve here's what respondents say: https://t.co/dyciOqUrRp — PolitiTweet.org

60 percent of respondents say they are dissatisfied with the way race is taught in public schools. But when you ask that 60 percent why they are dissatisfied, here's what they say: https://t.co/S9TIVuV2yB — PolitiTweet.org

Listening to Chris Rufo and the teachers union officials who loathe him, one would think that "Critical Race Theory" (or panicked misrepresentation of it) is a huge factor in education politics right now. But the data shows something else: — PolitiTweet.org

In today's *Up for Debate* I highlight a poll of likely voters in battleground states who are asked about education politics. https://t.co/6iSgCkQ9eG — PolitiTweet.org

So does it make sense--or if not, why doesn't it make sense--to build a nuclear power plant at The Yucca Mountain Nuclear Waste Repository? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

If you have a nuclear power plant, how far can it be from the communities it serves? In other words, how much power are you losing by moving it over distance? — PolitiTweet.org

@matthenryyoung Seems like you'd want it to move around every year so that for a given person with limited funds, it's at least close to them every 5 years or so. — PolitiTweet.org

When there's a reporter with decades of expertise informing the public on pandemics... but he also once mentioned (though didn't use) a slur in a way that upset a few teenagers... should his pandemic insights be published? Unlike some, @bariweiss says yes: https://t.co/Of7UlsSPjY — PolitiTweet.org

@ericowensdc Sure, I think Twitter is acting perfectly reasonably by trying to get bought at the promised price... but I don't think Musk owning Twitter brings us any closer to fascism. If I did my view of Twitter's behavior would be very different! — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

When Elon Musk seemed like he wanted to buy Twitter many were panicked, as if him owning it would bring us a step closer to fascism, but now Twitter is trying to force Musk to buy them, and I haven't run across anyone getting upset at Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org

@HereForTheLink @kdrum @sullydish They should accept inspection by their EU counterparts as valid, because their EU counterparts are not any less competent or careful. — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@kdrum @sullydish It seems to me that if you changed FDA and CDC rules and processes to (say) what @ATabarrok favors you would easily save tens of thousands of lives versus the status quo, and probably many more. — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum @sullydish Is the FDA required by statute to do it this way? — PolitiTweet.org

Conor Friedersdorf @conor64

@kdrum @sullydish I would call leaving 800,000 doses sitting in storage rather than waiving the inspection requirements given the circumstances incompetence but your definition of incompetence may vary. https://t.co/yubnAKBv5S — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @surfrev I don't believe that abortion should be prosecuted as murder, but murder is typically a state crime, not a federal crime. — PolitiTweet.org
