It's good to see the parents so animated, but respectful at the same time.

I can't say as much for the school board meetings going on in Loudon County Va, and Virginia Beach where I'm at. It's getting ugly here in the Old Dominion.

In the videos that I've seen, many of the less-than-cordial school board meetings that have taken place all over the country addressing this issue, have been that way due to previous actions, reactions and public comments made by teachers, administrators and school board members that angered parents.

"The issue" is a wedge issue, a white identity politics, RWE psy-OP, identical to "protect the vote" attack on the 15th Amendment. The common theme is at the heart of Trump party "smoke n' mirrors" pushing "solutions" to problems that do not actually exist. The only actual agenda is in the interest of wealthiest Trump party donors... preserving 2017 tax cuts, continued hobbling of IRS tax compliance enforcement ..

"..In Loudoun, which has seen a massive influx of immigrants in the last decade into what was once rural, white-dominated northern Virginia, parent groups are trying to recall six of nine school board members for supporting diversity and equity efforts in public and on social media.

Those efforts include teacher and staff training materials "related to addressing opportunity and achievement gaps, systemic oppression, and implicit bias."

..Beth Barts, a board member who has voted in support of equity efforts, defended the initiatives as necessary to serve the student body, which is 43% white, 25% Asian, 18% Hispanic and 7% Black. Big questions remain over how new measures will be enforced, given that in some cases they are vague and that CRT itself has been subject to varying interpretations..."

Very long, comprehensive interview...

"The Trump-iban" "harvested" a-hole, racists-in-denial, white parents... They want to put body cameras on teachers.

An NBC News analysis finds at least 165 local and national groups are trying to disrupt or block lessons on race and gender. NBC reporter Tyler Kingkade explores who is waging this fight, and why.
...KINGKADE: Yeah. So one of the first groups that sprouted up around this started last summer. It's called No Left Turn in Education. It was started by a mother living in a suburb of Philadelphia who was upset with some anti-racism lessons taught to elementary school students in her town, in her district. She wrote a letter to the superintendent saying that these were not appropriate for kids their age and that this was woke indoctrination. She was upset. She got a little bit of media coverage and then ended up going on Tucker Carlson in September. And she told me that after that appearance on Tucker Carlson, the group that she had started, No Left Turn in Education, shot up from fewer than 200 followers on Facebook to 30,000 within just a day. And she told me that, really, Tucker Carlson started her movement. She said, quote, "he doesn't know it, but he did."...

KINGKADE: Well, I just - even the notion of talking about white privilege is seen as divisive or, you know, it gets back to talking about the issues at the heart of the Black Lives Matter movement, about whether Black people, people of color, are disproportionately harmed or mistreated by police.

....
I would also say, you know, Steve Bannon compared this to the Tea Party wave. I mean, we are not the ones who came up with looking at this like Tea Party 2.0. That's been something conservative activists point out. If you look at scenes from school boards, whether it's this week or going back a couple months, a lot of these scenes look very similar to what we saw in 2009, 2010, when the Tea Party wave started, ..

GROSS: Trump, when he was president, weighed in on critical race theory, too. He issued an executive order - I think this was last September - ordering the Office of Management and Budget to stop funding training on CRT for federal employees, and he called the training a propaganda effort. What was he trying to do? In what way was the Office of Management and Budget funding the training of CRT?

KINGKADE: This was in an order that President Trump gave after hearing about some of these trainings on Fox News. There's a conservative activist named Christopher Rufo who takes credit for inspiring this executive order because he reported last fall about how there were some trainings going on with federal contractors that subjected people to talk about their white privilege and, the way he saw it, as blaming white people for problems. . ..

And at the time, you know, this was a couple months before the election. Perhaps it could rile up his base, to get people motivated to think we've got to keep Trump in because otherwise this is the kind of thinking that will wash over in a potential Biden administration..."
 

How can you not agree with those people? The kids (and the adults) are being taught to hate each other in the interest of bringing us all together.

Because they are "stars" in a RWE psy-OP... Did you not notice the "Daily Caller" logo on the video in the OP?

"...Recipe for a viral video
Of the 500 most viral Facebook posts that mentioned “critical race theory” between 1 January and 21 June, more than 20% were articles about or reposts of parent videos, according to a Guardian analysis of data from CrowdTangle, a Facebook-owned analytics tool. The posts use combative language to sell the videos, with captions like, “Watch this parent absolutely obliterate Critical Race Theory at an Illinois school board meeting” or “Black Mother TEARS Into School Board for Pushing Racist Critical Race Theory”.

Among the most viral is a 20-minute video by the conservative TV channel Newsmax sold under the caption “Mom tears apart school board over Critical Race Theory”. The clip includes an entire speech by Tatiana Ibrahim, a mother who accuses school officials of “creat[ing] a curriculum of Black Panther indoctrination” and teaching students to kill cops, before the Putnam county schoolboard in New York. The video racked up more than 4.6m views on Facebook alone and was shared nearly 150,000 times. ...
...But the videos have also enjoyed a significant boost from the rightwing media ecosystem, which appears to be engaged in a concerted effort to promote the critical race theory narrative. King’s speech became fodder for a mini-news cycle within the conservative press. With headlines such as “Black mom blasts critical race theory as ‘not teaching the truth’”, the speech was covered by, among others, the New York Post, Fox News, the Daily Caller, theBlaze, the Daily Signal, the Daily Mail, the Washington Examiner, Rebel News, Tucker Carlson and Newsmax. King appeared on Fox News multiple times and was interviewed by the Federalist, Rudy Giuliani’s YouTube show, the One America News Network, and Newsmax. ...Xi Van Fleet, the mother who compared CRT to her experience growing up in China during the cultural revolution, is also from Loudon county. A video of her speech was shared on Twitter by another rightwing group that is heavily involved in the Loudon county debate – the Virginia Project’s “Program on Un-American Activities”. The video was covered by Fox News, the New York Post, the Daily Mail, Newsmax, theBlaze, the Washington Examiner, the Daily Caller, and Real Clear Politics, and Van Fleet appeared on Sean Hannity’s show, earning another writeup in the Daily Signal.."

So what if the titles use combative language?
