US Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) is ridiculed and chastised after it was claimed on Monday that “nobody forbids critical racial theory,” the now highly controversial field of study that examines social problems and institutions that propagate and perpetuate systemic racism. Conservatives like Cruz have decided that any anti-racism statement should be labeled “critical racial theory,” with Fox News using the term 1,300 times in less than four months.
“The Trump Derangement Syndrome is amazing,” Cruz tweeted, inexplicably bringing the disgraced former president into the conversation to attack anti-Trump Conservative Charlie Sykes, “who used to be conservative, Cruz claimed, and“ now the critical racial theory defended ”.
“He offers a range of straw men, e.g. does not ‘forbid’ them. Nobody forbids it; But we don’t have to allow schools to teach our children to hate each other because of their race. “
In fact, as reported by NBC News, 21 states across the country have joined (16 states) or have already (5 states) banned the teaching of Racial Critical Theory in classrooms as of last week.
Critical Racial Theory “does not teach children to hate each other because of their race” or anything else.
The co-founder of the Lincoln Project, Steve Schmidt, let loose his anger on the Republican Senator from Texas.
“This is what racial demagogy will look like in 2021,” explained the history student Schmidt. Senator Cruz “colors his part of the toxic mosaic and speaks in a code that, when fully put together, says black militants who hate you and want to take your litigation”. [sic] off trying to brainwash your kids into hating you. “
Ted Cruz “does what he always has,” continued Schmidt. “He lies and tries to scare stupid and vulnerable people into keeping his political power by making them believe that they need protection from something that actually doesn’t exist in elementary and secondary education. It’s not real. “
educational curriculum. It’s not real. @tedcruz is a vandal. It was from the moment he arrived in Washington. From the nonsensical government shutdowns and brazen displays of cowardice to defending his wife and father, Cruz is a living refutation of male virtue. 3

Schmidt was by no means the only one chasing Cruz.
Florida just banned it

The problem here, Rafael, is that “children” are not taught this. CRT is taught in some college courses and you know this very well, but you keep lying.

Oh yeah. Ted lies. I forgot for a second. Then go ahead, Rafa.

Not allowing something in schools means that it is literally banned from schools
