First, Sigunparis, thank you for your response to my '

takedown' of Maureen Dowd's brother's article. I wrte that piece and (for te first time( embedded all my sources in the article (I usually used 'notes'). I expected it to be distributed, alas, the ones I work the hardest on often are not given much publicity. However, my piece on CRT entitled "Hey, Teacher--You Are Fired!" was a huge hit (900+ views, etc.). I highlight this line bc I think that CRT is just a distraction from the real issues of the day--voting rights and the attack on democracy from a minority of racist 'Americans'--As a 32 year teaching veteran (and former San Diego County Teacher of the Year), teaching racism is factual. Plessy, Dred Scott, Linda Brown, Little Rock 9, etc etc etc. all happened. Robert Pacilio
