The United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans. The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate— and never forget.
The Parkland Cops ran away. The Buffalo Cop was killed instantly. The 3 Cops at Uvalde were overpowered, then waited 40 min to enter the school.
Veteran Cops repeatedly failed—but we’re supposed to expect Lunch Lady Doris & School Nurse Betty to stop a terrorist with an AR-15.😑

Every comment about CRT should include that Missouri is 49th out of 50 in K-12 state funding of education. If they're going to pretend to care about what is being taught and the quality of our schools, maybe they should fund education. Let's hold them accountable.
