The FBI has become our version of the KGB. They’ve ceased to be an actual law enforcement agency and now operate the secret police for the Democrat Party. It’s time to disband the FBI.

Pipe dream. It is literally 95% of the left’s playlist.
They stay in power by keeping alive the idea of racism and making it seem as widespread as they possibly can. And by making sure minorities remain dependent on them.

That's pretty much exactly what this memo is calling for.
Don’t try to steal the outrage of Wal Mart Republicans. Someone rang their bell and they have to start salivating. The actual words used in the memo are obviously meaningless. Whether or not actual threats have been made is meaningless. For that matter, even if the threats were made by nut jobs about that masks mandates, it’s still really about CRT cause Tucker or Newsmax has said so.
When it comes down to it, both the Democrats and Republicans are stooges for corporate America. The left and the right each have a radical wing that they placate, and have a story that they sell to get people to vote against their own self interest and keep them in power. It also distracts otherwise intelligent folks from the real goings on.

“The National School Boards Association (NSBA),” the letter said, “respectfully asks for federal law enforcement and other assistance to deal with the growing number of threats of violence and acts of intimidation occurring across the nation specifically points to parents speaking out against vaccine and mask mandates, Critical Race Theory, and Comprehensive Sexual Education.”
Where is this letter? I don't see that in the OP or in the tweets. I wouldn't mind getting more context before I raise my torch and pitchfork.

Google their name. There's a pdf of it on their site.

Lucky for us, your friends at the FBI are only good at gassing and murdering women and children, and are completely useless at solving crimes that they didn’t commit themselves.

True. Lots of people underestimate just how scared white people are of learning some ugly truths in this country’s history, and the lengths they will go to to protect little Braxleigh from learning it.
You mean, the "truths" from the 1619 Project, which is an unsourced work of fiction roundly rejected by any serious historian.
Were you not taught about slavery in high school/college?
How about the Civil War?
Reconstruction?
Indian Wars and relocations?
Trail of Tears?
Dawes Act?
Segregation/Jim Crow?
Washington/DuBois/Garvey
Harlem Renaissance?
Civil Rights Movement?
The "ugly truths" have been part of the American History curriculum in just about every school for decades.

Hey genius
Where do you think Corporate America comes down on this question?
Hint: Maybe check and see who is paying Robin DiAngelo and Ibram Kendi tens of thousands of dollars to teach employees this stuff.
I'm starting to hate these pseudo-intellectual moderate twats as much as the fringe leftists, you're insufferable.

I only got through 3 pages....has anyone asked for another source outside of some unverified dude on Twitter posting some whack arse photocopy with a signature in the "from" line?
frick y'all....please learn not to believe everything you fricking see just because it reaffirms your fears or beliefs. Verify that shite.
Also, after reading the memo, where the frick does it say a damn thing about CRT? Have y'all not seen the folks threatening school board members and principals over masks? I hope we can all agree that this edict, if true, is not aimed at people having an opinion; it's aimed at people threatening violence.

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.

No it isn't.
It's pseudo-academic and the average person of moderate intelligence can consume a majority of the seminal writings on it in a few hours.

I asked if they were harrassing him over other beliefs they didn't like.
Which they aren't. Which gives his CRT harrassment theory little weight.

The primary authors and proponents of CRT consider your assessment/statement horseshite.
You need to read Chapter 4 of American Marxism

Well, maybe it's a complete coincidence that it follows a request by NSBA for the administration to characterize angry parents (over CRT) as domestic terror threats...
This shouldn't be much of a surprise for people who have been paying attention to this over the last year. This is how it usually goes down:
1. School implements CRT or some other radical leftist agenda
2. Parents show up to school board meeting to demand answers
3. School board president cuts off parents and forbids them to voice their opinions
4. Parents get pissed
5. School board no longer allows parents to even mention said radical program at school board meetings
6. Parents get even more angry
7. School board shuts down all public meetings or makes them virtual with no allowance for public comment
8. Parents lose their shite because their essentially told they're not allowed to disobey
9. School boards lobby DOJ to do their bidding
10. Anyone resisting CRT is now a domestic terrorist
11. The spleen, c on z, and gadnot rejoice their beloved democracy has been preserved by attempting to imprison dissenters

CRT does not exist in any K-12 public education system in this entire country. It's a fricking cudgel the rightwing propagandists are using against YOU.

It doesn't say anything about protest or going after people who simply oppose CRT, or treating them like terrorist.
That hasn't stopped the slackjaws from whipping themselves into a frenzy. They never read past the sensational headline.
