The app for independent voices

There are many threads that need to be teased apart here. I'll try. While I support school choice I'm tempted to give James Lindsay's POV some oxygen. If I can steelman him: the secondary bureaucracies that control credentialling or produce a credentialled class are so strong that most of the new schools will be de facto government/Neomarxist in structure. The best way to truncate statist wokism is to homeschool.

The Rufo/Desantis model of legally challenging intitutional wokism through courts has, if I'm reading the tweets correctly, failed to produce any institutional change in government run K-12 education (and will continue to fail?)

twitter.com/ConceptualJ… 'Lawsuits not viable. ' This seems to be an admission that David French and Libertarians at Fifth Column were correct: Opposing CRT in education could not be achieved within the instutions through forced legal reform but must be done relentlessly by parents themselves being overwhelmingly invested in education. Homeschooling being the antipod to public education.

So on one hand we have a bifurcation model and ideological reform is ground up parents rights activism, and on the other we have a top down court ordered legal reform, the later, if I'm understanding correctly, is proving to be legally diffuse/ineffective.

Are we going to continue putting our eggs in both baskets hoping to establish a legal/ideological detente in public institutions or are we going to invest more heavily in the Deanglis/Educational Savings Accounts (ESA) model?

I think I understand the synpsis in the OP. But we seem to be conceding that secularists won and can't be legally defeated even if we prove in courts that CRT is racism, judges don't mind anti-white or anti-asian racism.

Looking for clarification and this isn't my full time wheelhouse so please use kid gloves.

Respectfully,
