This now well viewed tweet:

NEW: A school administrator in Southlake, Texas, advised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also have a book with an “opposing” perspective.Listen to the audio recording obtained by @NBCNews: https://t.co/vS0IjlROMu pic.twitter.com/yPtM1ncjgV

… is ripe for misinterpretation.

The key here is that the administrator was responding to Texas legislature bill 3979.

It’s all part of the ideological war.

Notice this in the bill is the part to combat the boogeyman of CRT:

(4) a teacher, administrator, or other employee of a
state agency, school district, or open-enrollment charter school
may not: […]
(B) require or make part of a course the concept
that:

[…]
(vi) an individual, by virtue of the
individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions
[…]

(viii) meritocracy or traits such as a hard
work ethic are racist or sexist or were created by members of a
particular race to oppress members of another race;

(ix) the advent of slavery in the territory
that is now the United States constituted the true founding of the
United States; or
committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex;

(x) with respect to their relationship to
American values, slavery and racism are anything other than
deviations from, betrayals of, or failures to live up to, the
authentic founding principles of the United States, which include
liberty and equality; and
(C) require an understanding of The 1619 Project.

As usual, when already malicious legislators make overly-broad and/or overly-intrusive bills and laws, the masses of people affected have to interpret how to handle said burdens.
