@mjs_DC The judge can’t impose a mandate, she can only strike one down. Congress never gave the CDC this kind of sweeping authority over our lives. Judges are empowered to limit them to their statutory boundaries. For a journalist, you’re leaving out a lot of context here.

@roderickgraham @Chrismartin76 @UjuAnya Maybe the critique is better framed: "Does the CRT framework allow for its hypotheses to be falsifiable?" For example, Tenets 2 & 6 in this thread (distrust objective methods; trust counter-narratives) create real barriers to testing & falsifying hypotheses.
