First, we were told it wasn’t happening at all. Then, we were informed that trying to stop it was authoritarian fascism or something. Now left-wing media and politicians have moved on en masse to a new narrative that critical race theory is really just about teaching accurate history and that opponents just don’t want students to know about racism and slavery.
