Um, the state declining to teach juneteenth?That's a very insightful comment; and it brings us full-circle.
On its face, your post is a total non-sequitur -- you just spontaneously segued from states declining to teach that white people are automatically racist way over to MLK's dream speech. But none of this debate is taking place in a vacuum. It's taking place in the context of a wider debate over reparations and affirmative action. Rightists object to CRT not because having the government lie to their children about white people being racist will hurt their childrens' feelings, but because it will indoctrinate their children to support punishing current white people for being white. Leftists equate opposition to CRT with outlawing teaching about Juneteenth -- with covering up slavery -- not because it takes CRT to tell the truth about slavery, but because telling the truth about slavery isn't enough to prove that current white people deserve to be punished for it. This is the hill both sides are ready to die on: one side screaming "You're guilty", the other side screaming "No we aren't."
Of course, that's a ridiculous way to approach the issue. It doesn't actually take white collective guilt and white people deserving punishment and all white people being racist in order for "colorblind" equality to be more or less worthless, and for a serious consideration of race to be merited and likely required, and for investments to be needed, and for police to be reformed, and for not seeing color and judging people by the content of their character to be a dream for the future rather than a reality for today. We could just go ahead and have that conversation on its own merits without getting hung up on whether a living white guy getting harmed to help compensate a black guy for what some dead white guy did to him deserves it. That appears to have been MLK's take on the matter -- in all that he said about the government needing to help black people I never heard anything that sounded punitive.
But taking that approach comes with a psychological cost. It's utilitarian -- some are sacrificed for the sake of the greatest good of the greatest number. When you stand for affirmative action and reparations on that basis, you're creating a new generation of victims; you're robbing Peter to pay Paul. You can't do that and come out of it with clean hands. And that is the point of CRT and all the rest of the ideological baggage that's grown up in the modern affirmative action/reparations movement. If you can come up with a theory that explains why the people hurt by affirmative action or reparations deserve it, then you don't need to feel bad about it, because you didn't really rob Peter to pay Paul. All you did was make Peter pay the debt he already had to Paul. So in your own mind you come out of the mess with your hands as clean as a whistle.
Gotta protect the little left-wing snowflakes. That's the important part.
