Apprehension filled me as I set up my vendor’s booth on opening day of the Temecula Balloon and Wine Festival. I just published my book, Critical Race Theory in Your School: How to Fight Back and I was here to advertise it. The comments on my book’s Facebook page were often angry and profane. I knew people would be more controlled face-to-face, but I wondered if I would meet that one angry CRT supporter who would go too far.As people walked by, I began making my pitch. If you have any questions about Critical Race Theory, I would be happy to answer them, like why it’s bad for race relations and what exactly is Critical Race Theory?. I intentionally spoke in an even tone, but projected my voice out into the crowd. I wanted people to hear me, but I didn’t want to trigger anyone.
