I’ve been trying not to wade into this much bc I hate being reactive to foolishness, but it’s annoying as hell being a Black woman lawyer taught by a number of preeminent Critical Race Theory pioneers and see it butchered like this, from every end of the ideological spectrum.

It's impossible to imagine a nation on Earth or a state in America where a sane voter votes for Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the man in the video below

What an absolutely stunning entrance into a political race, I mean *wow*
This video is a must-watch, and not just for Arkansans https://t.co/zVVuovsGsf
I’m at the @WiltonManorsCty Stonewall #Pride Parade — a truck just drove into the crowd. The driver is in police custody.

I’m lucky to be safe, but at least two people were hit and are in critical condition.
All of us here all praying for them and their families.
I'm surprised the Catholic Church is being so critical of President Biden, considering he actually attends their services and never teargasses the parking lot first.

This week, @tedcruz insisted that critical race theorists were the same as the Ku Klux Klan.

As I note in this @MSNBCDaily piece, the ridiculous claim that critics of white supremacy are just as bad as white supremacists is an old tactic. https://t.co/0cnjHY3UNQ
There is a belief Sarah Huckabee Sanders will glide into the Arkansas Gov seat and while she certainly maintains an edge, @JonesForAR just made this race competitive. He’s got a great story, incomparable experience and we are lucky he stepped up to the plate. Give him a look —> https://t.co/UgloavDCKZ

This happened in Humboldt Park Chicago last night. Couple was pulled out of their car and shot. He died, she is in critical condition.

At least 21 people were shot in Chicago overnight, with three people having died from their injuries. pic.twitter.com/5wtmWGOIoq
Critical Race Theory is a form of legal scholarship that responded to a pervasive ideology that the law/legal decisions were colorblind. This should not be controversial in 2021.

Other fields then applied certain CRT tenants to their studies.
Critical Race Theory is not “diversity & inclusion” programs. It’s not even primarily about mandating an accurate reframing of history (though it can include that).

Its founders are legal scholars who felt it necessary to apply a racial lens to understanding US laws.
I'm not "demanding" anything; I'm challenging you to a debate about critical race theory.

The real question: are you going to accept this challenge or not? https://t.co/t9ASFgB6r4
