So, letting any veteran be a high school teacher without any further qualification makes it great schools? The governor purging state universities makes it great schools?

Letting veterans teach while working on their degree, which is what that law does, is a great idea.
And curating the education offered in public universities is a great idea too. Public universities must serve public purposes. CRT serves to undermine the society, not reinforce it.
It’s especially important to get rid of it in a majority-minority state like Florida. CRT education is racism. It teaches minority kids a different worldview and values from white kids—and an inferior one. My mom was born during British colonization, but she was educated as an equal person. She can tell you about Plato and Tolstoy. My kids—thanks to living in a blue state—are learning how to whine about “white men” and see themselves as different, and aggrieved. They will not be equal citizens when they grow up, because they are being socialized to be a lower, dependent class.
It wasn’t the British running east Pakistan from 1947-71. I’ve actually posted an column in Bengali from Prothom Alo here before about the pre-71 education system (which does praise its high standards and quality from the British but also says that Pakistan federal government invested a lot. And then goes on to say after the 71 war the rate of people getting first division in BA exams, went up to something above 50%, which it then compares to Bankimbabu getting a second division only and leaves you to draw your own conclusions from that)
Another important point is that in 1947 right before independence the Muslim League in Bengal (remember AIML was founded in Dhaka and sponsored by Nawab Dhaka!) was demanding parity of representation (professors, etc) in the education system with Hindus and the Hindus were refusing and telling them to set up their own educational establishments.
I don’t know anything about the education system back then. My mom had a British tutor.

Is your point that CRT is a good way to turn America into a third world tribal society?
My point is that era wasn't all puppies and rainbows educationally.
I understand, and it still isn’t. I’m just focusing on a narrow point: my mom perceived herself as equal because she received the same education British kids. Separate but equal doesn’t work. Kids must learn to view themselves as similarly situated, or else they will not be.
In my view, this is a big problem with the Muslim world. We have this tremendous victimhood complex. Contrast the East Asian countries, who have just sucked it up and focused on getting rich.
Abdus Salam tried to get the OIC to commit to spending a certain % of GDP on education and research and they basically told him to pound sand. It didn't help when Pakistan (Zia) didn't back him for UNESCO chief.
