    Having read the article, I think what this absolute brain genius was trying to do was to was suggest that teaching critical race theory is tantamount to teaching holocaust denial. Don't get me wrong, she deserves everything she's getting and more, but I think that was the.....ahem....."thinking" behind this super normal take. Shit, I could be wrong though, it is Texas.

    ". . .captures an administrator from Carroll Independent School District—which serves the wealthy, predominantly white Dallas-Fort Worth suburb of Southlake—last week instructing teachers to comply with the new law by offering alternate opinions on topics like the Holocaust, despite mainstream views on the Holocaust not being opposed in any substantial or credible manner."

    It's hard to say whether this is malicious compliance, opportunistic compliance, or just compliance with the law.

    This is the place where they did an entire podcast series on just how racist Southlake is: https://www.nbcnews.com/southlake-podcast

    I'd actually like this if they used the pro-Nazi books as an example of how propaganda can infect people. Obviously this is not the case here, so fuck no.
