THAT WOULD BE NICE: Stop Gaslighting Parents on Critical Race Theory.
Some pundits claim that CRT is exclusively a school of thought taught in legal academia. On her MSNBC show, Joy Reid claimed that “law school is really the only place it is taught. NBC has looked into everywhere.” Former Lincoln Project co-founder George Conway tweeted: “I don’t think critical legal studies should be taught in elementary schools, and I am ready to die on that hill[.]”
Some journalists, informed by other “experts,” contend that CRT is synonymous with “talking about racism.” NPR defined CRT as “teaching about the effects of racism”; the New York Times called it “classroom discussion of race, racism.” NBC News labeled it the “academic study of racism’s pervasive impact.”
These definitions are, of course, mutually exclusive. But they both serve to paint parents into a corner. If CRT is defined just as talking about racism, then parental objections to it must be rooted in racism. If CRT is defined just as a thesis discussed in law schools, then parental objections to it must be rooted in ignorance.
Heads, I win. Tails, you lose.

JOANNE JACOBS: Goodbye to Joe College.
College enrollment has declined by more than 14 percent in the last 10 years, the National Student Clearinghouse reports. The decline for men was 18 percent, nearly double the decline for female students, writes Vedder. “In the 2020-21 year, for example, the number of women enrolled declined by nearly 203,000, but the male decline was nearly double that, over 400,000.”
He suspects young men don’t feel welcome at colleges where professors and activists “rant about ‘white male privilege’ and diversity bureaucrats favor women over men, Vedder writes.
Why go where you’re considered “toxic” — and take on a load of debt — when there are coding academies and welding schools?
Indeed. But count on the Left to denigrate these savvy and well-trained young men as uneducated boors.

THAT ’70S SHOW: Now Prices Are Really Soaring: June Rent Jump Is Biggest On Record. “While soaring housing costs had put homeownership out of reach for most Americans, rents had been relatively tame for much of 2020. But in recent months, rents have also soared as vaccines fuel optimism about a rebound from the pandemic, and a reversal in the city-to-suburbs exodus. The increases, as Bloomberg so eloquently puts it, ‘may add to concerns about inflation pressures.'”

BYRON YORK: Democrats afraid to talk about crime. “It appears to be dawning on some Democrats in Washington that it is not a good idea politically to be soft on crime during a crime wave — especially when their own positions helped spark the crime wave. . . . The short version is that Democrats are beginning to understand that the ugly anti-police actions and rhetoric some of them engaged in after the death of George Floyd last year helped cause an increase in violent crime, an increase in suffering, an increase in fear — and now, political blowback. But here’s the kicker: Some of those very same Democrats who get the message are afraid to talk about it in public.”
