When I went to high school in Texas, my History textbook still framed the Civil War as a "states rights" and "economic freedom" issue.
Many school districts also defied the governors short-sighted/partisan order of banning masks in schools. I don't recall any representative from Texas' HHS department supporting that order.
Some CRT would be a welcome breath of reality for our education system. Could you share why you think that it's hostile to children?
The Texas State Board of Education routinely tries to push young earth Creationism into science classrooms which is a bit hostile to those who want their kids to learn actual science.
did they succeed though? And if yes, did it came at the expense of "actual science"?
An important lesson a parent should teach to their kids is that not 100% of what is taught to them is true and that some stuff taught to them is non-sense/political propaganda. In CA it is CRT, it TX it is Creationism.
You should look up all that Texas SBoE has done in regards to science, math, history, and health and their often unique and counterfactual ideas on what should be taught.
Yeah, I suspect things will reach a breaking point and the pendulum will swing back.
Just look at all the organized retail crime in Northern California. There's a new article pretty much every day about groups of 20+ coordinating mass retail thefts.
Voters explicitly put into place DA and laws that basically decriminalized crime, and now are bearing the fruits of that.
Don't think voters will continue voting for those policies now that repercussions being seen and lived.

- I really hope you are right, but I am not expecting this. Unfortunately, average voter (both on the left and right) seems to be willing to reject realities of cause->effects if they conflict with their identity.
I appreciate your response, but that is just one teacher though not any kind of policy. I am trying to find out what specific part of California's "Critical Race Theory" curriculum you object to. I hear a lot of people who are mad about the teaching of CRT in schools, but thus far no one has provided me concrete examples of any specific teachings that are objectionable.
It seems to me to be more of bogey man rather than anything real.
