Movies are a self-contained world. The writers and producers make the rules and the circumstances for the worlds they create.

Elle Reeve’s “special report” for CNN was a doozy of misinformation. One would think that a person who works at a high level for a world news network would know what she’s talking about. I suspect that many teachers teaching the CRT curriculum are equally ignorant.
