> I think the idea behind the ban is that critical race theory delivers a certain leftist ideology

You believe the ban is ideological, and... you aren't horrified? What happens when Harris bans discussion of libertarian ideas in the treasury department?

[fabatka]

What do you mean by "discussion"? If "using taxpayer money to host mandatory courses", I think every ideology should be banned from this in government institutions.

However, to ban these in the private companies that want to do business with government agencies is of course too much in my opinion.

[raxxorrax]

She puts way too many people into the industrial prison complex to argue against libertarian ideas.

[choko]

Libertarian ideas aren't racist. This is a false equivalence.

[lodovic]

Federal employees in the treasury, while being paid, should discuss .. the treasury. Not libertarian ideas, not CRT, or any other controversial theories. They are free to do that on their own time however.

[flipgimble]

What do you imagine a treasury employee does all day, sits in a locked room and counts coins without any connection to the outside world? These are the people that are directing monetary policies that affect people's lives, well being and equity. Without an opinion on CRT itself, which I don't know much about, I think learning from any side about how those lives are affected, and the history of the country, is exactly what well informed government official should be doing.

It like telling a programmer they should only ever have a terminal and a code editor open, and ban using a browser during office hours.
