What's With These CRT Ads On TV?

I think it’s a Republican ad. It starts out saying CRT will have a new flag (with a cultural reference) that will replace the U.S. flag.
Then ends by a little girl saying “We can all be friends, no matter what color we are.” I’m paraphrasing, but you get the idea. They toss out a bunch of shit, then try and make it seem inclusive and nice. There is the implication that CRT is something that is taught in public schools. I am a public school teacher & I can tell you that is bullshit.

Here is an article with the ad:

"Radio station WORT reported Monday that Be Good to Kids was registered as an LLC in Ohio by David Langdon of Langdon Law. Langdon was exposed in 2015 by Politico as a conduit for so-called “dark money” fueling many far-right causes. Ohio Secretary of State records indicate he has registered more than 70 limited liability companies and corporations just this year with names like Cincinnati Tea Party Association, Parents Against Stupid Stuff, Center for Christian Virtue and Ohioans for Christian Virtue."
