No I donтАЩt think itтАЩs illiberal тАШto have some control over our public schoolsтАЩ, but I also donтАЩt think that statement is representative of RufoтАЩs work. Some of what he has advocated for and achieved arguably amounts to censorship.
"Some of what he has advocated for and achieved arguably amounts to censorship."
Can you cite a specific example? This sounds untrue to me. Rufo makes clear he isn't involved in the drafting of actual legislative proposals, but rather references model legislation.
Mounk references the Stop WOKE Act specifically and in my view makes a compelling case (he goes into more depth in other podcasts/articles).
If Rufo is going to take credit for the legislation heтАЩs influenced donтАЩt you think itтАЩs kind of disingenuous to then claim no responsibility for any overreach that comes from it?
In theory I am too. But I am afraid that when you enshrine this power into law, eventually unreasonable people will get to be in charge and we will have granted them a power they shouldnтАЩt have. This is always the problem with censorship of any kind.
agreed it's a danger. I just don't think we can wait decades in the hope that we can take our education system back. Meanwhile they indoctrinate millions of kids in this poisonous ideology
Is it really illiberal to have some control over public schools? Or do we have to wait decades in the hopes that they will fix themselves?

By which I mean that something needs to be done but it needs to be done carefully and Rufo isnтАЩt doing it carefully enough for me.

Fair enough.
I'm o k with censorship that says you Can't teach white supremacy in public schools
I'm also o k with censorship that says you can't teach Whites are evil in public schools.
