Do you know anybody who's learning about critical race theory in school? Of course not, because nobody's teaching it. But that's not stopping the GOP from getting into a lather about it — "banning" it from being included in curricula where it doesn't yet exist, and screaming about the evils of "wokeness."
The problem is, the Republican Party is nearly all-white and doesn't have a clue what wokeness really is. But that didn't stop the soon-to-be-indicted child sex trafficker Matt Gaetz from bleating about it in a House Armed Services Committee hearing today.
Enter our newest unlikely hero: General Mark Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who read Republicans the riot act over all the CRT pearl-clutching.
"I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be
open-minded and be widely read," he told Gaetz and his fellow Florida fulminator, Congressman Michael Waltz. "I
want to understand white rage, and I’m white. What is it that caused
thousands of people to assault this [Capitol] building and try to overturn the
Constitution of the United States of America?"
Very impressive! We cats never expected this from Milley, who toddled after Benedict Donald for Trump's Bible-toting photo op after Lafayette Park was cleared of BLM protesters last June. (He later apologized for it.) So maybe Milley is really with the program after all? We cats are willing to be convinced, and we PURR.
