The battle against critical race theory and the Left’s attempts to force it upon young, impressionable children in the public school system is one that conservatives can win. The Left knows this, which is why it is spreading outright falsehoods about the legislation several Republican states have passed to ban this toxic, divisive, racist ideology from their public school systems.

One of the more popular lies about these bans on critical race theory is that they prohibit public schools from talking about slavery, racism, and white supremacy. Here’s the New York Times’s Astead Wesley falsely claiming that Florida’s CRT ban would prohibit teachers from talking about Juneteenth, a holiday celebrating the emancipation of slaves.
