2. What's missing in the CRT "debate":

Without a comprehensive, inclusive teaching of American History, students are left with a FALSE and FRAUDULENT narrative.

Myths, not facts.

Slaves were happy on their plantations.
Slaves didn't want "freedom".
Slaves loved their masters.
Slaves didn't see themselves as "slaves".

And students with such distorted historical "facts" will be allowed to graduate from high schools. And they won't be corrected college because: 1) less students are taking liberal arts (e.g., history) and 2) less liberal arts programs and schools generally.

Trying to "correct" a new generation of neo-Confederates will be near impossible.
