So we have red states banning CRT and blue states mandating it. Children educated in different states will be culturally and socially incompatible with each other. Not only will they have no shared history or tradition, but their values and morality will be diametrically opposed. There will be no coexistence between these peoples.
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.
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.
