Ron DeSantis. Rufo, who has been appointed to New College's board of trustees, described his infiltration of the institution this way: 'We are over the walls, and ready to transform higher education from within.'" https://www.chronicle.com/article/why-is-stanley-fish-teaching-at-floridas-new-college #EDUUSNewCollegeOfFloridaStanleyFish #AdvocacyUSManhattanInstituteForPolicyResearchChristopherRufo
Supplementary #MagazineUSTheNewYorkerPaigeWilliams "In September, 2020--four months after the murder of George Floyd, two months before the Presidential election, and a month into Williamson County Schools' use of Wit & Wisdom--Christopher Rufo, a conservative activist, appeared on Tucker Carlson's show, on Fox News, and called critical race theory 'an existential threat to the United States.' Rufo capitalized on the fact that, given C.R.T.'s academic provenance, few Americans had heard of the concept. He argued that liberal educators, under the bland banner of 'diversity,' were manipulating students into thinking of America not as a vibrant champion of democracy but as a shameful embodiment of white supremacy.
(As he framed things, there were no in-between positions.) Rufo later called C.R.T. 'the perfect villain'--a term that 'connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American views.'
Rufo found a receptive ear in President Donald Trump, who was already ranting about 'The 1619 Project,' the collection of Times Magazine essays in which slavery is placed at the heart of the nation's founding. On Twitter, Trump had warned that the Department of Education would defund any school whose classroom taught material from the project. Trump conferred with Rufo and banned federal agencies from conducting 'un-American propaganda training sessions' involving 'critical race theory' or 'white privilege.' Trump said that Black Lives Matter protests were proliferating not because of anger over police abuses but because of 'decades of left-wing indoctrination in our schools.' Establishing a '1776 Commission,' he urged 'patriotic moms and dads' to demand that schools stop feeding children 'hateful lies about this country.' (The American Historical Association condemned the Administration's eventual '1776 Report,' highlighting its many inaccuracies and arguing that it attempted to airbrush history and 'elevate ignorance about the past to a civic virtue.')
Nearly nine hundred school districts nationwide were soon targeted by anti- C.R.T. campaigns, many of which adopted language that closely echoed Trump's order not to teach material that made others 'feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex.' In some red states, the vague wording was enshrined as law. Republicans filed what became known as 'anti-C.R.T.' bills; they were seemingly cut and pasted from templates, with similarly phrased references to such terms as 'divisive concepts' and 'indoctrination.'
Williamson County Schools was uneventfully wrapping up its first term with Wit & Wisdom when, in early December, 2020, the American Legislative Exchange Council, which generates model legislation for right-leaning lawmakers, hosted a Webinar about 'reclaiming education and the American dream.' A representative of the Heritage Foundation, the conservative think tank, warned that elements of a 'Black Lives Matter curriculum' were 'now in our schools.' Rufo--correctly predicting that Joe Biden, then the President- elect, would abolish Trump's executive order--urged state legislators and governors to take up the fight.
Continuing the agitation wasn't just an act of fealty to Trump; it was cunning politics. The fear that C.R.T. would cause children to become fixated on race has resonated with enough voters to help tip important elections. Last November, Glenn Youngkin, a candidate for the governorship of Virginia, won an upset victory after repeatedly warning that the 'curriculum has gone haywire'--and promising to sign an executive order banning C.R.T. from schools. Jatia Wrighten, a political scientist at Virginia Commonwealth University, told the Washington Post that Youngkin had 'activated white women to vote in a very specific way that they feel like is protecting their children.'
Days after the alec Webinar on 'reclaiming education,' three women in Florida filed incorporation papers for Moms for Liberty, Inc., later declaring that their 'sole purpose' was to 'fight for parental rights' to choose what sort of education was best for their kids. One of the organization's founders, Tina Descovich--who had recently lost reëlection to the school board of Brevard County, Florida, after opposing pandemic safety protocols--soon appeared on Rush Limbaugh's show. Declaring plans to 'start with school boards and move on from there,' she said of like-minded parents, 'It sounds a little melodramatic, but there is evil working against us on a daily basis.' maga media--'Tucker Carlson Tonight,' Breitbart--showcased Moms for Liberty. Media Matters, the liberal watchdog, argued that influential right-wing media figures were essentially 'recruiting their eager audience' for the Moms' campaign.
Moms for Liberty, which is sometimes referred to as M4L or MFL, is so new that it is hard to parse, from public documents, what its leaders are getting paid. (The founders say that the chairs of local chapters are volunteers.) The group describes itself as a 'grassroots' organization, yet its instant absorption by the conservative mediasphere has led some critics to suspect it of being an Astroturf group--an operation secretly funded by moneyed interests. Moms for Liberty registered with the I.R.S. as the kind of social-welfare nonprofit that can accept unlimited dark money." https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2022/11/07/the-right-wing-mothers-fuelling-the-school-board-wars #AdvocacyUSManhattanInstituteForPolicyResearchChristopherRufo [Wikipedia] #NMUSFOXFNCTuckerCarlson #TheorySociologyCriticalRaceTheoryCRT #SlurWhiteSupremacy #PhenomnPolarisationDivisiveIssue #OtheringElitesLiberalCulturalEducated #PoliticsNationalismAmericanAnti #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #Cause1619Project #PhenomnWhitePrivilege #CauseBlackLivesMatterBLM #TauntIndoctrination #1776_Commission #1776_USDeclarationOfIndependence4thOfJuly #PoliticsPatriotism #OrgUSAmericanHistoricalAssociationAHA #AdvocacyUSAmericanLegislativeExchangeCouncilALEC #AdvocacyUSTheHeritageFoundation #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPGlennYoungkin #IRLScientistPoliticalJatiaWrighten #EDUUSVirginiaCommonwealthUniversity #ToponymAmericaNorthUSFloridaBrevardCounty #IRLShockJockRushLimbaugh #LiteralSchoolBoard #NMUSBreitbart #AdvocacyUSMediaMattersForAmericaMMFA #TheoryPerformativeActivismAstroturfing

Context "In April 2022, a study found that the majority of US voters oppose using the word 'groomer' - which has been described by an anti-hate group as 'dangerous' - to describe LGBTQ+ inclusive teachers and parents." https://www.pinknews.co.uk/2022/08/22/gays-against-groomers-founder-fox-news-twitter-ban/ #IdentityLGBTQIACodingHypersexualizationGrooming
Supplementary "Far-right and extremist voices have launched a significant attack against the LGBTQ+ community in 2021-2022, demonizing people via repeated false claims that LGBTQ+ people are 'pedophiles' who are 'grooming' children in order to abuse them. This false and malicious narrative has been weaponized to label the LGBTQ+ community as 'groomers' and has fueled a slew of hostile legislation and policies aimed at erasing the discussion of LGBTQ+ related issues in schools, removing LGBTQ+ books from schools and public libraries and, especially, to ostracize, defame and harass transgender people. ...
Anti-LGBTQ+ figures do not use terms such as 'grooming' and 'groomer' legitimately. Instead, they imply or explicitly claim that LGBTQ+ people are pedophiles who are preying on children by discussing issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. They claim that teaching young people about these topics is somehow really intended to encourage them to question their gender identity and sexual orientation - in other words, LGBTQ+ people are trying to 'sexualize children' and 'recruit' them into the LGBTQ+ community. ...
Baseless accusations that LGBTQ+ people and others are 'grooming' children began to circulate on Twitter in 2021, promoted in particular by conservative pundits Christopher Rufo and James Lindsay, as well as the anti-LGBTQ+ Twitter account known as Libs of TikTok. However, it wasn't until spring 2022 that 'grooming' rhetoric really became a major anti-LGBTQ+ narrative getting nationwide attention, thanks in large part to publicity surrounding a controversial anti-LGBTQ+ law passed in Florida.
On March 28, 2022, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law the Parental Rights in Education Act, often referred to by critics as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill. The law prohibits classroom instruction on gender identity or sexual orientation in grades K-3 in Florida public schools; it also prohibits instruction on sexual orientation and gender identity issues that are not 'age-appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students' in any grade. Like the controversy surrounding critical race theory in 2021, the Florida bill - and similar laws proposed in other states - are based on the false premise that educators are trying to 'indoctrinate' students."

"Trump appointed Mizelle to the federal bench in late 2020 over objections from the American Bar Association that she had not been practicing law long enough to be qualified. A search of her other rulings found she had never previously applied corpus linguistics.
Neither Mizelle nor the Judicial Education Institute responded to requests for comment.
In response to the new disclosure, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who chairs the subcommittee on federal courts and oversight, called for more disclosure surrounding when judges attend ideological educational retreats.
'The multi-pronged billionaire-funded scheme to influence the judiciary includes flying amenable judges to luxury resorts to bathe them in the latest fantastical right-wing legal theories,' he said in a statement to HuffPost. 'At the very least, the public ought to know when judges are attending lavish 'seminars' promoting the agenda of partisan special interests. The Judicial Conference should take a close look at tightening its rules to ensure transparency around such junkets.'
Legal corpus linguistics is not inherently ideological. Nevertheless, as the right-wing legal movement increasingly insists that courts must interpret the law based on 'history and tradition,' conservatives have seized on corpus linguistics as a useful source of legitimacy.
'History,' as described by the conservatives who dominate the federal courts these days, has an uncanny way of mirroring the political beliefs of the modern GOP on issues like gun laws, school prayer, organized labor and abortion rights. Corpus linguistics, the thinking goes, with its air of big data, offers a potential retort to the accusations that judges are simply cherry-picking their view of the past.
But skeptics argue that it's just as easy for an ideologically motivated judge to cherry-pick results from a search engine.
'A lot of what legal corpus work tends to do is allow you to pick and choose your history,' Anya Bernstein, a professor studying legal interpretation at the University of Connecticut School of Law who has written critically of legal corpus linguistics, told HuffPost in March. 'You pick and choose your corpus, you pick and choose what you're putting into the software, you pick and choose your results.'" https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/judges-luxury-travel-mask-mandate_n_665e065be4b0a8b68eea43fa #LiteralVaccineMandate #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump #IRLJudgeKathrynKimballMizelle #OrgUSFedCentersForDiseaseControlAndPreventionCDC #PhenomnMaskWearing #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginiaWestTheGreenbrier #WebsiteCorpusOfHistoricalAmericanEnglishCOHA #TheoryLinguisticsCorpusLinguisticsLegal #AdvocacyUSJudicialEducationInstitute #BrandKochIndustriesCharlesKoch #TheoryLinguisticsCorpusLinguistics #EDUUSUniversityOfConnecticutAnyaBernstein #ReasoningFallacyOfIncompleteEvidenceCherryPicking

The nugget of truth behind the political spin is that a letter from the National School Boards Association to Garland last fall argued some violent threats against school officials 'could be the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism' that would warrant the intervention of federal law enforcement. In his response, Garland directed his agency to review strategies to address violent threats and harassment against school boards, but he didn't use the NSBA's 'terrorism' language, for which the group later apologized."
