Book bans are authoritarian. I don't care if you're a conservative going after CRT or a leftist going after Dr. Suess or books on trans issues. Just stop banning books. — PolitiTweet.org

@CowFan01 @realchrisrufo @cvaldary I think there needs to be a model curriculum on race that offers an alternative to the identitarian approach, that parents need to be vigilant, that the right needs a Federalist Society-like effort but in education instead of law, and more — PolitiTweet.org

@realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary Your analogy is flawed. I didn't say that the teachers would violate the law and not be caught, as with shoplifters who evade those laws. I said that it would be easy to abide by the letter of the laws you advocate while thwarting the end that you hope to achieve by them. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewpcone @realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary I agree that it's a seismic cultural shift. That's part of why I doubt the ability of laws to reverse it without deeper and more sustained contestation in the cultural realm. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewpcone @realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary The law doesn't help if you don't know about the behavior. There's no substitute for parents actively involved in school governance. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewpcone @realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary Yes. What you need isn't these laws so much as a positive curriculum that you pass and a long march through the education schools and organizations of teachers who want a different way and future generations of educators who aren't so uniformly left leaning. — PolitiTweet.org

@andrewpcone @realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary In my estimation, Chris does have a huge impact merely by exposing the most ridiculous excesses, and parents pushing back in their wake can achieve change, but I don't think the laws help given how easily the purpose he wants them to achieve can be circumvented — PolitiTweet.org

@realchrisrufo @wokal_distance @cvaldary My firm conclusion is that your approach cannot and will not succeed at achieving its goals, in part because it will be easy for even the teachers most eager to thwart you to follow the letter of the law. You have no answer to that critique, just synonyms for prevaricating. — PolitiTweet.org
