Surprise, surprise - it's over a book teaching about Martin Luther King jr. and the civil rights movement, two books about Ruby Bridges, the first Black student to attend an all-white school in Louisiana in 1960 and another about segregation before the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case. Noticeably absent is anything to actually even do with CRT.
"Mom's For Liberty," a conservative group, filed an 11 page complaint. A specific example of what they have a problem with in the books is a photo of segregated water fountains and images showing Black children being blasted with water by firefighters. This is apparently a "slanted obsession with historical mistakes" and shouldn't be taught. They also allege that teaching this history implies "angry, vicious, scary, mean, loud, violent, [rude], and [hateful]' white" people are continuing to oppress black people, so it shouldn't be taught.
This is all by design. A reminder of what the grifter responsible for CRT Mania openly admits:
Certainly seems like a success. It got decodified and recodified to annex any inconvenient facts Karens don't like. Something tells me Papi Chulo won't be screaming about 1984 over this, though.
