They will make examples of a few people then CRT will be ushered in with expediency.

Ushering in an academic lens through which to view certain data sets with an expediency doesn't really make sense. You can teach someone what critical race theory is (in theory. All of the goons who still don't understand what it is are working overtime to prove otherwise), but it is not a curriculum, and it's certainly not some set of facts or historical anecdotes.

It is similar to the auteur theory in film studies. You can attempt to view parts or all of film history through a theory that asserts that the director is the "author" of a film. It gets tricky and arbitrary when viewing the 1930s-1960s through this lens, but film people will make cases and write theses and debate forever. There are people who think the auteur theory is stupid, there are people who believe it applies to every film ever made, and there are people who hold any number of opinions inbetween those two poles. There's also stuff like the "Great Men of History" theory. You can discuss it, and point out that many major works of history initially appear to fit within this lens, but it's not a curriculum. If this sounds scholarly or even navel-gazing or, since I know where I am, pretentious, yeah that's the fukking point. CRT isn't there to be discussed outside of debates between scholars and articles in academic journals. It's complex, it's something to be debated, and it is intensely academic. In other words, it's not something your average school teacher understands, SO IT'S NOT SOMETHING ANYONE IS TEACHING TO ANY OF YOUR KIDS BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

Stop listening to idiots on Twitter, like the idiot on Twitter cited in the op. And don't threaten teachers about something you clearly don't understand. That's called being a piece of shite.
