A Tiny Step Forward at Bobby's House
 [Personal] Several weeks ago, the Loudon Country CRT issue boiled over (in my mind) enough to mention it to my wife of 50 years, whose political views have diverged from my own over the last ten years or more. I asked her if she had heard of Critical Race theory.Yes, she informed me, that was taught in some college-level course, that was all. "Not in high schools", I asked? No, no ... so - OK, end of discussion. Karma intervened, and the next day, I sent her a copy of an article about the CRT blowup in the Ft. Worth schools, just 30-40 miles from where we live. Response — Crickets. Tonight (12/14), the local CBS news (relatively even handed, and her local favorite) had a story about the heated CRT issue in Ft. Worth schools. I didn’t say a word, but she offered, "I used to think this was just taught in university; it’s very complicated." I said, "No, it’s very simple. It’s all about race, which is not what Martin Luther King taught." The crickets circled around me and I went to bed. I hope she remembers King's statement about being 'judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin.' But I made a dent in a media meme! A tiny step forward!
