Universities need to plan now for how they will protect instructors - disproportionately women, Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous scholars, & adjuncts - who teach courses on race and racial inequality from harassment, doxxing, threats, and organized campaigns to get them fired. 1/5

Critical Race Theory doesn’t bring us together, it further sows divide in our country. We can already see it happening in our schools.

CRT = Creating Racial Tension.
Sources present tell me that at the RNC Retreat yesterday @GOPChairwoman said Trump is “the past” and “we need to move forward.”

This, after she vowed to “stay neutral” in the 2024 race, and the RNC continues to use Trump’s name and likeness to fundraise.
After failed GOP congressional candidate Derrick Van Orden lost his 2020 race, he used money from his campaign to finance his trip to storm the Capitol. Now, he’s running again, with the endorsements of the @GOPLeader and @EliseStefanik.

In today's Wall Street Journal, I analyze the current state of play, expose the media's misrepresentations, and chart a path forward for American families. https://t.co/F8RtoyHyKg
“It’s not Republicans, & certainly not the American people, who are putting critical race theory front & center.” Hawley argues. “It is Joe Biden. He is the one who's nominating these people, forcing this controversy on America, trying to divide America.” https://t.co/AMvNwJ87FK

Honored to share that my book, Race to the Bottom is the recipient of the 2021 Ralph J. Bunche Award, which is given annually by @APSAtweets for the best scholarly work in political science that explores the phenomenon of ethnic and cultural pluralism. https://t.co/MkNdJr6dyH

I keep seeing a variation of "sure we tell white children that they are born racist and we tell black kids they are perpetual victims but THaT's NoT CriTiCaL RaCE THeoRy." Who cares what you call it? End that garbage. https://t.co/gLoSm6Jmpm

This is the ACTUAL mission of critical race theory: unpacking the systemic injustices embedded in our laws, which work to disproportionately harm people of color. The criminal justice system in this country is littered with outrages like this one. SMDH. https://t.co/dAZx5XYqMP
