As for the CRT stuff, I know there are some crazies and overreactions. I'm not for banning per se, but I am against giving it a preferred platform in education. I think this is actually what some of these "bannings" are; not that you can't think it or read about it, just that government paid educators are forbidden for presenting it as some kind of truth. CRT (at least from the definition I'm using) is philosophy. Bad philosophy. At a minimum, it is unsettled and therefor unsuitable to be taught as a curriculum. It can be taught as something that exists but then it needs to be given the treatment any such philosophy would get and I doubt e.g. High School educators have the background to even try that.
Right but tourists getting killed because they cycled through regions where ISIS was active does not represent the middle east as a whole.. That's as if tourists were killed in America by a drug cartel and you took that as a representation of all of America.
Those "crazies" are generally politicians who are trying to use the fear of "CRT" to create laws banning the topic from being discussed at schools.
That's how the politicians try to present it as of course. But the problem is that the way they use and classify "CRT", it can mean virtually anything connected to race, which makes such laws dangerous.

Ah but now you've changed what we're discussing. "Banning being discussed at schools" is not what anyone is doing. It's being banned from being taught at schools. And both of those things are not remotely the same as "banning CRT". Banning schools from using their position of authority over children to indoctrinate them on garbage philosophy is a reasonable position. Banning books from general consumption is not and I'm not aware of anyone doing that.
And, yes, scope creep is certainly a dangerous issue when it comes to the government. So I take this to mean you're for smaller government? :)
