'In a previous article, I compared recent attempts by conservative legislatures
to pass laws prohibiting the teaching of American history that emphasizes the
systemic oppression of Black people by white people to attempts by American
anti-abolitionists to limit the dissemination of abolitionist teachings that
emphasized and rejected the systemic oppression of enslaved Black people by
white America.

A respondent, Blanc2, replied by writing, "I find so much irony in the fact
that some of the most outspoken critics of falsely labeled "CRT" are the same
people who oppose the removal of Confederate monuments from public places."

As an African-American university professor, I found the response intriguing. I
decided, therefore, to investigate to see if states banning so-called "CRT"
(Critical Race Theory) also protect Confederate monuments. My findings are
quite revealing.'
