Remember when we let one far-right dude make up the whole critical race theory panic, and then reactionaries passed "anti-CRT" laws that were really anti-diversity laws, so that teachers were afraid to even teach about civil rights and the Holocaust, and then US students' knowledge of the Holocaust dropped precipitously? And it dropped the most where those anti-CRT laws were passed?

Well, what if we let *the same dude* make up a whole plagiarism inquisition against the Harvard president?

Screenshot of chart: The states with the lowest Holocaust Knowledge Scores are: Alaska, Delaware, Maryland, New York, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi, and Arkansas. We calculated our Holocaust "knowledge score" by using the percentage of Millennials and Gen Z adults who met all three of the following criteria: 1) have "Definitively heard about the Holocaust," AND 2) can name at least one concentration camp, death camp, or ghetto, AND 3) know that 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust. Can't name a concentration camp or ghetto Belleve Jews caused the Holocaust Did not know what Auschwitz was Did not know 6 million Jews were killed in the Holocaust Belleve 2 million or fewer Jews were killed during the Holocaust WA 34% MT 41% ND 41% MN 36% ME 2596 SD 42% OR 50% ID 40% WI 32% VT 12 NH 45% WY 38% IA 41% MI 45% SEN MA 40% NE 40% PA 45% RI CT 4596 IL 54% IN 46% NV 43% UT 446 CO 42% 46% 4386 46% KS 3796 MO 50% CA 37% 37% VA 48% DE 48% 51% OK 51% TN 5236 NC 40% AZ 44% NM 44% AR 56% MS 604 AL 50% GA 51% TX 55 LA 50% HI 55% AK 54% FL 47% ועידת התביעות Claims Conference Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany
Screenshot of tweets: Christopher F. Rufo X @realchrisrufo Yes, I envisioned a strategy-turn the brand "critical race theory" toxic-and, despite having virtually no resources compared to my opponents, willed it into being through writing and persuasion. Follow my playbook to save America; follow Charlie's to lose sanctimoniously. Charlie Sykes @SykesCharlie May 24 Christopher Rufo has become one of the go-to critics of Critical Race Theory. Here he is... essentially giving away the game. For Rufo, it is all about "branding, and the audacity of his charlatanry is breathtaking: morningshots.thebulwark.com/p/scenes-from-... Christopher F. Rufo X @realchrisrufo Replying to @realchrisrufo and @Conceptuallames The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think "critical race theory." We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.
