CRT doesn’t belong in the classroom.
8:16 PM · Apr 12, 2022
There is much hilarity in the responses:
Racism doesn’t belong in a classroom.
CRT belongs in the advanced law classrooms it is taught in where people are being trained to recognized racist systems and work to make the world a better, more equitable place.
It isn’t. Find one example of CRT (that means critical race theory in case you didn’t know, and refers to graduate/law school level courses) being taught in an elementary or high school. Talking about race/diversity is not CRT.
And neither does Q, Ann. Neither does Q.
Please explain what CRT is and in what classroom is it being taught?
What is CRT? As a former MO educator, I’ve never heard this phrase during my education program or public school classroom experience. Please provide further details.
Explain CRT to us Ann. Go ahead.
The cathode ray tube is an important part of our technological history. Denying the existence of this masterpiece is criminal in and of itself.
Well, they did have to strap those big sets on those audio/visual carts. And even then it was so top heavy that it would easily tip over. Big safety issue.
It’s never been in a classroom, unless it’s a graduate law school classroom.
What made you like this Ann?
It’s a requirement to be in the modern republican party.
Who the hell is in charge of your social media, Ann?? @Eric_Schmitt??
Heh. We see what you did there.
What classroom is CRT in, Ann? Give me a name.
Neither does GOP propaganda, Ann. Stop with the divisive dog whistle narratives.
Cool, it isn’t being taught in the classrooms so we’re good then.
This is lazy, even for you.
It’s not in the classroom you dim bulb. It’s an elective in law school.
Confederate-ass John Birch Society bullshit doesn’t belong in the classroom.
Your bigotry doesn’t really belong anywhere.
And while you’re at it, define CRT. I highly doubt you even know what it is.

We also suing @MissouriSBA for concealing it’s involvement with CRT in Missouri schools. For example from 2014 until recently Educational Equity Consultants’ website listed MSBA as a client. EEC pushes the 1619 Project & Ibram X Kendi’s works. #moleg #CRT

Some of the responses:
Explain what CRT is to us, Eric.
Please provide a list of all the MO elementary and secondary schools that teach CRT. Really? I didn’t think so. Enough with the dog whistles. You’re better than this. Or maybe you just aren’t.
Narrator: “He isn’t.”
Gonna miss a filing deadline on this one too?
Hey Eric why are you afraid of history? I bet your nickname in middle school was Eric Shitt wasn’t it?
I shouldn’t be but im still aghast that people like you exist in 2022. I really grew up thinking overt racists were extinct. [….]
What happened to you? When I knew you, you were a decent person. What radicalized you?
And Lord did you even read or listen to the 1619 project? Or did you just read other people’s opinions on it? Because I think you haven’t actually read it.
“its”. You should have paid more attention in English class.
He shouldn’t have slept through law school either.
Once you lose the primaries I’m curious if you will still pander this hard to the most hateful of all in America?
Yes. This has been another edition of short answers to simple questions.
Oh FFS. You are grasping at anything you hope will poke a MAGA. Have a little self respect.
He crossed that bridge a long time ago.
Have you always secretly been a terrible person, or just became one for power? Honestly don’t know which would be worse
Just when I thought you couldn’t get more ridiculous, frivolous and wasteful… there you go again.
Get fucked. Stop wasting our money on your senate campaign, grifter.
Tell us what CRT is. Go ahead….we will wait for you to show your ignorance once again.
You’re an idiot. No high school teaches CRT. You likely have no idea what it really is. Your fascism is showing.
Why do you hate American History?
Speaking of school, I would hope my AG would understand how apostrophes and commas work.
I’m not usually a big fan of pointing out typos, but this is par for the course for you.
You’re an idiot.
Eric you dipshit, you don’t even know what CRT is.
You are a waste of space.
Little mind.

This afternoon:
Eric Schmitt @Eric_Schmitt
Critical Race Theory is a warped and divisive ideology that separates KIDS by race and into categories of “privileged” & “oppressed.”It should have no place in our schools. #moleg #CRT
3:14 PM · Mar 14, 2022
Some of the responses:
Just do two simple things here Eric to give your case any credence or support, just like has to be done in court for standing:
1. Define CRT.
2. Identify three examples where CRT is being taught to children in the state of Missouri.
Narrator: “Eric Schmitt can’t. He never could.”
It is also taught in zero public schools in the United States, much less Missouri. So, you are aggressively fighting and trying to create legislation to govern nothing.
That’s not what CRT is, and CRT isn’t being taught in schools.
You are fractally wrong, attacking our educational system for petty culture wars points.
Racism is what’s warped and divisive, not telling the truth about it.
It is not in our school and you don’t know what it is.
Please explain to me which schools this college level course is being taught.
Your pants are on fire [….]
Define it. Give a human example, and not a politically void bumper sticker.
We’ll wait
Narrator: “They waited forever.”
Oh gosh, it’s the CRT Boogieman, again! Such a lie! It’s not taught in public K-12!
#CRT isn’t taught in #Missouri schools. Find another meme.
What is Critical Race Theory?
How would you teach how Missouri entered the union? Please provide lesson plans so teachers won’t be attacked for teaching “CRT”.
It isn’t in our schools and shame on you for suggesting it is! You are uninformed, or willing stooge for the far right and you should never be MO’s senator!
Could you give a succinct definition of CRT?
Narrator: “He can’t.”
Excusable neglect is going to be Eric Schmitt’s (r) campaign slogan. One way or another.

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Senator Hawley is right: Radical ideologies such as #CRT have no place in our schools.Biden’s Department of Justice must stop weaponizing themselves against America’s parents who are looking out for the best interests of their children.

“…Ideologies…”
Some of the responses:
Thank for revealing your support for intimidating, harassing, and threatening school board members.
Where in your district is CRT taught?
Tell me where this is being taught. Please list the schools or school districts that are teaching CRT.
According to the memo from DoJ, people are using “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
This is the definition of terrorism.
@RepHartzler – are you saying you support terrorism?
teaching American History is not “critical race theory”
you and your tribe desire to “memory hole” atrocities committed against brown and indigenous people, much like neo-Nazi’s deny the Holocaust (also your tribe)
pushing racism is not in our students’ best interest, Vicky
What makes critical race theory radical?
Our schools do not teach CRT.
Do you have a problem with students learning American history? Civics? Critical thinking?
Or would you prefer Americans for the most part be unable to discern bull crap when they smell it?

The GOP used to be the party of personal responsibility.
The GQP is the party of “terrorism is acceptable, so long as it supports our views.”
That’s no different than Al-Qaeda.
Anti-American extremist Vicky Hartzler supports white supremacist terrorists who threaten teachers, because being decent for even a moment will cause her to melt.
Senator Hawley supports terrorism, though. He can sit down. Teachers are getting attacked and having their lives threatened. It sounds like you now support threats of physical injury and death against the nations’ teachers and school administrators. Voters, take note of this!
Made up controversy for morally bankrupt party that doesn’t even pretend to take governing seriously any longer
Damn you’re clueless

Touché.
Representative Vicky Hartzler (r) [2018 file photo].
This morning:
Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Critical Race Theory has no place in Missouri schools.Since #CRT has entered the national discussion, Missourians have expressed strong disdain for teaching our students that this country is inherently racist.
Today, I stand with those parents.
[….]
8:54 AM · Jul 21, 2021
Kind of late to the right wingnut talking point bandwagon, eh?
And, as always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
Number of schools in your district where critical race theory is taught: 0
Number of counties in your district where COVID infections have increased due to Delta: 24
she’s never, NEVER in a setting where she must answer questions or defend her propaganda
can’t have a @RepHartzler without a sophisticated insulation system in place where the information only flows in one direction
If we were true to the Constitution, you wouldn’t even have the right to vote, Vicky.
I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want our actual history to be taught, unless you’re ashamed of it.
I stand with all the people who know the consequences of lying about history in order to make people feel better instead of teaching fact in order to *BE* better
Critical Race Theory doesn’t have a place in Missouri schools because it’s not *taught* in schools. It’s a graduate-level course with a specific meaning for students studying law and civil rights.
How ashamed of our country’s history, good and bad, do you have to be to want it not even to be taught?
Your party can not create a policy platform that serves its constituents so it defaults to these non existent culture war topics. Sad.
THIS parent is far more concerned about gun violence when I send my kids to school than the idea that their teachers might suddenly decide to teach them a grad-school theory. How about you deal with a REAL problem.
The fact that these hearings have been non-inclusive and one sided tells it all.
Right? “Here’s a bunch of white people to explain why we’re not racist, just ask anyone (white)!”
@RepHartzler CRT is not taught in 1-12 class rooms but I would like you to explain exactly what it is. Because unless you took the course in college, I’m guessing you can’t.
I was only able to watch 3/5 of your speech.
Someone wins the Internets today.
Unfortunately for you, kids don’t need to be taught CRT specifically to pick up on how the webs of power in this country heavily advantage some and disenfranchise others. They just need to go out in the world and meet people who are different from them. Sorry that scares you.
Well since its not taught in k thru 12….
The dog whistles are getting louder…
You could fit everything you know about Critical Race Theory on the head of a pin.
What a shocking turn of events, another mindless, virtue signaling republican coming out against CRT. [….]
You don’t even know what CRT is. But because it involves discussions around dismantling racism, you are against it.
You know what that makes you.
And tell us where this is taught? This is just catnip for your base.
Stop insulting your constituents by thinking we are stupid.
Was slavery racist?
And was it part of the law?Heck, slavery was part of the original US Constitution.
Why don’t you want folks to know our Constitution?
Critical Race Theory is the new scary term the Right is using to create hysteria. Schools aren’t teaching it, never have and never will in any K-12 class.
Stop lying!
You look more and more like Gaetz and Greene each and every day.
That’s a feature, not a bug
There’s a republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri in 2022.
@RepHartzler, please have a bit of respect for your constituents. CRT is taught in *zero* public schools. You honestly believe your district is that stupid? Please work for the welfare of Missourians, and stop this performative bullshit.
Spreading false information in an effort to spread hate & fear makes you & your fellow representatives worthless legislators & actually hate-filled human beings. [….]
And a few more…
