    The pervasive indoctrination she had railed against simply did not exist. Children were not being sexualized, and she could find no examples of critical race theory, an advanced academic concept that examines systemic racism. She’d examined curriculum related to social-emotional learning, which has come under attack by Christian conservatives who say it encourages children to question gender roles and prioritizes feelings over biblical teachings. Instead, Gore found the materials taught children “how to be a good friend, a good human.”

    No shit. Well. Good for her for doing research, even if it was much later than it probably should have been and started on questionable assumptions.

    Edit:

    She, too, had been outraged by school mask mandates and vaccine requirements during the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Big sigh.
