I wasn’t aware the grade school teachers in the public school system, who IIRC, were the ones blamed for indoctrinating people with “CRT”, are considered rich and powerful. The lowly school teachers are “just following orders”. It’s those evil rich powerful shadowy forces issuing those orders. The ones that somehow have top-down control over the USA’s famously bottom-up educational system. And yet are nowhere in government; they’re only in the shadows. ---

Don’t forget that the meaning of CRT has been broadened to basically “treating black people as people”. So corporations and governmental agencies are indeed part of the CRT menace, by hiring POC and not treating them as sub-human. ---

The various headlines and stories about this “death cult” made me wonder about the “Berkeley rationalist community” and what they mean by and in what context they use the term “rationalist.” I’ve done a little reading in the past few minutes, and I can’t make it out yet. When you turn rationality into an “ism” I am inclined to expect a bad outcome. And when I see the kind of behavior described being associated with the word “rationalism” then I suspect underground motives to discredit rationality. p.s. I did not and do not expect to watch the attached video(s) unless a disinterested third party recommends it as a way to answer these questions. In the meantime, I will continue trying to figure it out on my own. ---
