It also bars the notion that a person's status as privileged or oppressed is necessarily determined by race or gender, or that discrimination is acceptable to achieve diversity.
In practice, it would have given parents leverage to push back against the divisive and destructive of teaching of "inherent" racism. No one would deny racism exists. But to claim, much less to teach, that members of one ethnic group are somehow deficient or flawed is just as destructive as the racism that it intends to combat.
Further, if an employer took action against an employee if that employee publicly disagrees with the tenets of CRT, the law would have given an employee some measure of legal protection.
You can say what you want about the law being an attack on the First Amendment, but so is an environment where an individual or employee can be harmed of they make a statement or advance an opinion that is contrary to the State.
In an environment where the concept of separation of church and state is axiomatic, it seems to me that the State should not be in a position of pushing an ideology that is divisive and harmful.
By the way, I love how you refer to my point for point refutation of your weak post as a "diatribe". Hilarious!
