4. Even more revealing is the "evidence" that CRT is in North Dakota schools submitted by sponsor @RepJimKramer: - An announcement the day of the George Floyd verdict to respect everyone's opinions - Someone wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt https://t.co/JxVur31uqN — PolitiTweet.org

3. Faced with these constraints, how can a teacher discuss slavery, the civil rights era, or the history of redlining? All of these topics are inextricably related to systemic racism in American society and its legal system. https://t.co/JxVur31uqN — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

2. The new law prohibits any instruction "related" to the idea that "racism is systemically embedded in American society" or the American "legal system." That includes written materials. Whether or not any of this is endorsed by the teacher. https://t.co/JxVur31uqN — PolitiTweet.org

1. In less than a week, North Dakota enacted a sweeping new law banning "Critical Race Theory" in K-12 schools The measure illustrates the acute danger these laws pose to free expression and historically accurate instruction Follow along if interested https://t.co/JxVur31uqN — PolitiTweet.org

It's interesting that there is so much attention paid to rising prices and very little scrutiny on the corporations actually raising prices and their motivations https://t.co/md7itT4Z8C — PolitiTweet.org

@JeffreyASachs One thing I was thinking about. Could you even discuss this LAW in class now that the law has been passed? Seems hard to do without referencing the idea that racism is systemic. — PolitiTweet.org

@NadimHossain I also talked specifically about the Mission Street Target, which media sources incorrectly reported would be closing due to theft. Target says the store is not closing. — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@NadimHossain It's obvious that not all crimes are reported and I acknowledge that in my piece. The question is whether more shoplifting crimes are unreported in 2021 v. previous years. If that's the case due to the 2014 initiative, it doesn't explain why reports have declined since 1990 — PolitiTweet.org

This is now the law in North Dakota. Teachers are not permitted to say that racism "is systemically embedded in American society" or suggest that the American legal system facilitates "racial inequality." — PolitiTweet.org

@grrosegr @CaseyNewton @Kantrowitz The people who are constantly highlighted as the most successful aren't even the most successful. They are very successful but there are people doing significantly better. It's not as fun a narrative though — PolitiTweet.org

@guypbenson @LoganDobson Walgreens disclosed to the SEC that they planned to close hundreds of stores years before Boudin was even elected. And Boudin is prosecuting the same number of organized retail theft as his predecessor Yet it was unchecked organized retail theft that was to blame? — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@guypbenson @LoganDobson What is the basis for your claim, Guy, that San Francisco's DA is not treating shoplifting as a prosecutable crime? He's prosecuting 80% of "organized retail theft" (same as his predecessor) and 50% of petty crime (down from 70%) The idea that isn't treated as a crime is false https://t.co/b50nzuLqP6 — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@LoganDobson Please source your claim that San Fransisco's DA is not prosecuting shoplifters. Data shows Boudin is prosecuting 80% of "organized retail theft" and 50% of petty theft. Prosecution rate of organized retail theft is the same. Prosecution of petty theft went from 70% to 50%. https://t.co/92byTWTrHE — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

5. For petty theft, prosecutions are down somewhat, from about 70% under the last DA to 50% under Boudin. But the idea that Boudin is not prosecuting shoplifting is false. https://t.co/e7WxYQrI3I — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

4. Walgreens cited "organized retail theft" as the reason for closing stores. The percentage of organized retail theft cases that have been prosecuted under DA Chesa Boudin is THE SAME as his predecessor. https://t.co/oO2AnBP1xT https://t.co/7NFzJmI46U — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

I presented data showing that shoplifting in San Francisco has been declining since 1990. The DA that this dude references, Chesa Boudin, was elected in 2020. But the decline is all attributable to Boudin's prosecutorial decisions! https://t.co/oO2AnBP1xT https://t.co/3TLb7I5Fee — PolitiTweet.org

Judd Legum @JuddLegum

@LoganDobson @guypbenson So the DA said that in 1990 and that’s why the data has been trending down until then? — PolitiTweet.org

2. In 2020, shoplifting in San Fransisco reached its lowest level since statistics began being collected 45 years ago. It has increased slightly in 2021 but still remains well below 2019 levels. https://t.co/oO2AnBP1xT https://t.co/XYHRjFREnK — PolitiTweet.org
