The issue is that red states are banning something they've already mandated under a different name in most states. In education it's called Social Emotional Learning, which was sold as a way to help children develop character, emotional growth, and tolerance, but has quickly morphed into outright CRT. It's a rather insidious alliance of lobbyists, curriculum providers, and activists.
In Florida, Based DeSantis has even put that on the chopping block. Obama's corporate indoctrination 'Common Core' is all but gone.
It depends on how the law is written. As long as they ban specific things they should be good.
The 1A prevents them from doing much but halting affirmation of the curriculum. Essentially, as long as the curriculum isn't graded, it's likely to be found constitutionally protected. Liberty only works in a moral population, unfortunately.
This is increasingly the conclusion I'm coming to and it's quite depressing really.
Why? It makes the solution quite clear. Do what you can legally to protect yourself, but don't fall into the trap of believing the legal system is the answer. The answer is to return to Christianity and develop morality again. For yourself, your family, and your friends.
Knowing that means you won't waste your time on things that don't work.
This has nothing to do with 1A. If parents dont want this shit to be taught, they have every right to demand it be removed.
If removing it violates state curriculum mandates, the school system risks their accreditation and their funding. If the state bars it through mandate, it risks 1A litigation. The left is pretty good at working the system to impose their will.
That's quite strange. It really shouldn't, but I'm not surprised that that would be the courts' fucked up interpretation of 1A. (and yet, we can't have prayer in schools?)
You can, it just can't be promoted by a state agent. CRT is a secular religion, but it's not viewed as such legally, granting it a lot of flexibility.
