I couldn't agree more that a solid grounding in the basics should be emphasized, and that ed school fads should be looked at with a skeptical eye. Critical race theory doesn't, and never has, been a factor outside of law school, but American history shouldn't be whitewashed or sanitized.
Also, mobs of screaming parents--many of whom have no connection whatsoever to the school boards under assault--threatening board members with mayhem, can reasonably be characterized as "terrorizing" people just trying to do their jobs.
