Wow. There were rules for how and when school districts could spend ARRA money, and HVAC was within the rules (b/c of the air quality thing, although everybody knows that school HVAC systems are on a regular replacemrent cycle, so all that happened was that people in places that were doing OK, school budget-wise, subsidized places that weren't). It's hard to see how CRT--indeed, any curriculum purchase that wasn't tagged as "remediation for kids who can't read b/c we deprived them of school"--would be a qualifying use of the funds. Two things happened: The rules were ridiculous and amounted to a money grab, and nobody was watching the store, so government entities got away with breaking the already-ludicrously-lax rules.
