As tension continues to grow along partisan lines, use of divisive language and rhetoric has become increasingly significant among ideological groups. With this, key terms and phrases such as but not limited to, critical race theory (CRT), diversity, equality, and inclusion (DEI), meritocracy, and of course racism are finding themselves weaponized as well as claimed by both sides of the partisan boundary. Additionally, topics related to race continue to grow more controversial, as race continues to be a driving factor in societal tensions. Along with CRT obviously being a major catalyst for debate, the emergence of controversy around topics such as the 1619 project are being used as a fulcrum of discourse. This article attempts to explore the use of certain key terms and triggers being used in legislation that is specifically targeting CRT and other related topics that have been emerging in society. The goal is to see whether there is a link between use of rhetoric as well as interest of the state, and see what kind of factors may impact a state\u2019s legislative proclivities. A large majority of US states have at least proposed some form of legislation at some level that attempts to mitigate the ostensibly negative effects of the prevalence of CRT and other related and controversial subjects. Red states seem to lead the reactionary proposals, with states like Florida leading the way, while other obvious factors contribute to the amount of bills being proposed, such as population. Additionally, some states have worked together to propose a sort of joint legislative proposal. CRT forward, a project created by UCLA to study anti-CRT legislation, has provided a working dataset that this article was able to draw upon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
