All of them have extoled the importance of free speech when it comes to big tech and all of them have talked about the importance of keeping CRT out of schools. You are free to put them into different buckets depending on whether they lied about one issue or the other, but to me they are all just people lying about their motivations.
- ch4s3 5y agoHaving some dumb take about social media doesn’t make any of them free speech advocates. These are just some clowns who have used the phrase as a cudgel. My whole original point was that the anti-crt laws are backed by trad cons, not free speech advocates. Most of these people glommed onto the issue after it was made popular with the base by folks like Hawley and Rufo. It’s important to make distinctions when talking about where ideas come from.
