Amazing how quickly we went from *dissolve the Department of Education* to use federal power to pursue a petty, vengeful and unpopular agenda. Even at the height of the anti-CRT panic cutting funds to schools was deeply unpopular w/ the public /1

Right now, two states–Utah and South Carolina–have state-sanctioned ban lists. That means these titles need to be removed from every. single. public. school.
