It is really the blind guiding the blind. Those politicians are drinking from the same sources of misinformation that many on the right wing rely on. In previous discussions, I cited that even Asians are using the CRT framework to analyze the injustices that China is doing to the Uyghurs.
Leading to the comment I made to another poster in a different thread that claimed that left leaning people in the US are not looking at that injustice. I had to comment that thanks to the ignorance that they used to pass the new laws, it means that research like the ones I linked at can’t be used by educators, they are banned to teach about that injustice if the research comes from CRT proponents.

(Actually, by the wording, most Conservative Governors banned any teaching that smells like basic social justice when race is the subject.)
