What's this?

Here is an excerpt of text from Tocqueville’s “Democracy in America”

This is the example of work to teach to avoid CRT.

Unfortunately it has critical race theory in it, so the proposed law says to teach it while at the same time it says to ban it.

Kudos to Virginia Republicans for clearly demonstrating why these CRT laws banning books and topics are fucking disasters. A book they want to commend would actually be banned.
