I'm against the "1776 initiative" or whatever it's called as much as I am CRT.
Also, deciding which textbooks are or aren't allowed in school has nothing to do with the 1st amendment because teachers are public servants, and the public school system is regulated by the government. It's literally part of their responsibility, which is why, for example, up until recently anyway, talking to kindergarteners about sexual topics wasn't permitted. Teachers can't curse out students or show them porn magazines either... so on and so forth.

CRT isn't and never has been taught in K-12, but what's reality gotta do with anything?
It's more fun to just believe made up talking points and regurgitate them! And get mad about absolutely nothing! It's so fun!
I said banning books in libraries; not anything to do with text books in classrooms. Reading comprehension is an important skill to have.
Though I am against any ideology being taught in K-12 (in public schools anyway). Bill Maher had an excellent piece about this a couple weeks ago, where he showed one of the examples from the Florida textbooks and it was fucking stupid - IIRC, a "math problem" using a chart of political ideology to explain charts. I'm all for that and things like that being yanked.
It's kind of important for you to not regurgitate made up shit by far-right talking heads and populist politicians if you want to appear neutral or objective, though.
