In an article penned several years ago, “Why State Bans and Flipping School Boards Won’t Stop Critical Race Theory,” I predicted that powerful teachers’ unions and emboldened teachers would ignore the laws while school boards with their limited authority would not effect change.

It was the abdication of those responsibilites that triggered the Southern states to “dissolve the union.”
