Pitting UltraVires

[ASL_v2.0]

If you have to ask if this enactment of the Idaho state legislature is an accurate description of CRT, then you are a fucking moron:

@UltraVires

The issue I have is that nobody can really say what it is. If you ask, you get one of many vague statements which are all wonderful sounding, but if you ask, “Well, does it mean this [bad thing]?” the answer is no, of course it is not that, stop watching Fox News!!!

But then Idaho “bans” CRT and I read the text of the bill, the pertinent portion is thus:

(a) No public institution of higher education, school district, or pub31 lic school, including a public charter school, shall direct or other32 wise compel students to personally affirm, adopt, or adhere to any of
33 the following tenets:
34 (i) That any sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national
35 origin is inherently superior or inferior;
36 (ii) That individuals should be adversely treated on the basis of
37 their sex, race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin;
38 or
39 (iii) That individuals, by virtue of sex, race, ethnicity, reli40 gion, color, or national origin, are inherently responsible for
41 actions committed in the past by other members of the same sex,
42 race, ethnicity, religion, color, or national origin.

Sorry for the formatting.

Those three things seem very reasonable not to require a student to adopt. Is that CRT? If so, I’m out. If not, then why are several articles saying that Idaho (and other states) are “banning” CRT?
