What are the odds that a political party that opposes “Christianity, free markets, traditional marriage, the rule of law, traditional family structures, and a representative form of government” also promotes a Theory that claims those things need to end because they are suddenly racist?
Put another way, how convenient is it that the latest ‘educational’ trend blames white people (in a majority white nation) to advance an agenda identical to the socialist goals of the Democrat Party?
Is this just more socialism “by any means necessary?” Indeed, it is.
The Marxist loving left is so beside itself over its failure to have converted America away from Christianity, free markets, traditional marriage, the rule of law, traditional family structures, and a representative form of government that it has decided that it must now call everyone racists to get there from here.
Because, as you well know, the only cure for anything is more government, and the only government that cures everything is Marxist.
It’s a strange leap. Marxism discriminates with extreme prejudice. Using racism to advance it is just more sleight of hand. A dangerous trick with a terrible end game.
What to do about this? We have close to 150 published posts on the subject including resources but we’re always looking to add more and this is that.
Citizens for Renewing America has created a guide to identifying CRT and its spawn in your local schools.
It’s called Combatting Critical Race Theory in Your Community. “An A-to-Z guide on how to stop Critical Race Theory and reclaim your local school board.” Review it and then visit their website. There are loads of resources to help you address the poison.
If you’d like an overview, The Cannon Online.com has a nice breakdown here to get you started.
Here are five steps—simple, but not easy—for parents to start with.
Here are just a few of those buzzwords:
Equity—This has replaced “equality.” Instead of ensuring that every American has an equal opportunity to succeed, equity demands equality of outcomes.
Implicit/unconscious/internalized bias—This is the relentless search to find racism in every aspect of American life. If it’s not immediately evident, look harder.
Social Justice/Restorative Justice—This is the belief that society must be torn down and remade in order to fully root out racism.
Systemic racism—According to critical race theory, racism is the original sin of America, and it persists everywhere to this day. Every institution is designed, they say, “to maintain the dominance of white people in society.”
Microaggressions—These are “subtle insults (verbal, nonverbal and/or visual) directed toward people of color, often automatically or unconsciously.”
Antiracism—This is critical race theory’s nom de guerre, the practical outworking of its central ideas.
White privilege—According to this doctrine, white people derive immense benefits from their race. According to one theorist (and Wisconsin politician), “America needs to be honest about how race has driven every decision from education to homeownership, and everything in between.”
White fragility—This makes critical race theory non-falsifiable. Any objection to any tenet of critical race theory is said to be white fragility.
Colonialism—That villain Jean-Jacques Rousseau would recognize this as his “noble savage” concept—it’s the notion that most human societies lived some kind of idyllic existence until explorers from the West arrived. As one scholar puts it, “colonialism, as a project of bringing the backward races into the universal History, bridged Enlightenment with modern constructions of race.” In other words, colonialism was the seedbed of race—and racism. Critical race theorists demand that we decolonize—reject all that the West brought with it, including Enlightenment ideals.
Identity—Everything is about what you are, not who you are.
Ally/Allyship—According to Harvard University, an ally is “Someone who makes the commitment and effort to recognize their privilege (based on gender, class, race, sexual identity, etc.) and work in solidarity with oppressed groups in the struggle for justice.” Critical race theorists demand nothing less of the rest of us.
Social construct—Race is made-up; it’s a fiction used by oppressors to control the oppressed. Oh, and also race is real and immutable. It’s the one thing you can’t change about yourself, and it’s all that matters (see identity).
We’ll be referencing this often in the future, I suspect, but don’t wait for us. Arm yourself and then start directing questions to school boards and administrators.
And then send us the product of these inquiries, and we’ll see if we can help make them household names.
