“Let me lead by saying I have gotten SO much value from Jennifer and owe a lot of breakthrough insights to her and the books she has recommended.
The last episode on anti-CRT was troubling though.
1. Instead of a fair assessment of the parents, “steel manning” their view, they got the straw man treatment, being assumed as ignorant and wrongheaded from the start. This isn’t intellectually honest.
2. Gonzalez and the interviewees think parents ought to be overridden when it comes to what content is taught to their children. If mom and dad don’t have a say in their children’s education, who is accountable to who?
3. When parents organize and use the proper non-violent, legal outlets for their concerns (PA meetings, social media, legislation), they are bullies. But at the end of the episode, Gonzalez urges her followers to take the same means to champion their cause.
I repeat: I’m not against González. I’ve learned a lot and intend to continue learning from her, but this was a hurtful episode.”
