History is written by the victors, and the post-WW2 Boomer generation won the population demographic war in the latter half of the 20th century. Wait 10-20 more years (2030's-2040's) and they will no longer be able to promote the WW2 mythology that there is a Master race, and that systemic racism results from "meritocracy". The US will have become a majority minority country by then. The academic historian led curriculums will not be silenced by these moronic bubbas outside of their high school kids' bible study groups.

These reactionary laws will go away once the Boomers go away due to dementia and old age, and the legislative push against CRT scholarship will eventually be found as unconstitutional as the Scopes Monkey trial laws were, in teaching Creationism over Evolution in neighboring Tennessee were a century ago.

You forgot this paragraph from the 2 page bill:

(d) Nothing in this section shall be construed as prohibiting the following:

(3) Stating concepts described in subsection (c) of this section or assigning materials that incorporate such concepts for educational purposes in contexts that make clear the public school unit does not sponsor, approve, or endorse such concepts or works."

So everything that you describe could, in fact, be taught.

'...the people who yelp the loudest...'?

Seems to me that Rod Dreher, Andrew Sullivan, et al., are *cheerleading* for the anti-CRT side.
