“Critical Race Theory” Crackpot Communism

CRT is a far more dangerous and one-sided attack on the entire range of education standards than previous curricula.

A front-page story (“A new wedge issue in campaign,” July 18) and a commentary(“What CRT looks like in my classroom,” July 17) recently criticized the critics of critical race theory, or at least of the “straw man” the critics are said to have created.

The critics’ critics claim is that the real critical race theory is a mere corrective addition to the “current” school history standards, which supposedly omits discussion of slavery, racism, Native American/settler conflict and other American shortcomings. This is either naiveté or plain falsehood.

Ibram X. Kendi’s name appears everywhere: in school curricula, corporate training programs, even the Navy’s official reading list. The Boston University prof is a blazing supernova in the constellation of radical-chic race activism. But be warned: His philosophy would jeopardize the bedrock American ideal of individual dignity and equality under law.

Brainwashing the men and women who protect America to hate and destroy it.

In 2007, Mark Milley, then a mere colonel, was being interviewed about his experiences by Lynne Chandler Garcia. Now Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Milley is defending critical race theory while Garcia, an associate professor at the Air Force Academy, teaches it.

The woman described by one student as “the worst professor I’ve had” back when she was teaching logic for the philosophy department at a community college recently came forward with a Washington Post op-ed announcing her enthusiasm for injecting Marxism into the Air Force.

One of the leaders of the NAACP has been spotted outside a Virginia middle school denouncing opponents of critical race theory and saying ‘let them die’.

NAACP Vice President Michelle Leete – who is also a member Virginia state PTA – gave a fiery speech to a crowd outside a school board meeting at Luther Jackson Middle School in Falls Church, Fairfax County.

And she ranted about a separate group of parents who were also at the school protesting over the teaching of CRT.

They want their children to maintain their privileged position

Critical Race Theory, or CRT, has dominated headlines in the US for months. Unsurprisingly, it is a fiercely partisan issue. In the blue corner, there’s MSNBC host Joy Reid stating that opponents of CRT are “steeped in white nationalism” and therefore must be held in the highest contempt. In the red corner, Tucker Carlson calls CRT a “civilisation-ending poison” that will “hurt your children”.

Democrats and their media have been howling that bans on critical race theory in school are bans on teaching history. They’re not.

Take HB 1775 in Oklahoma which never mentions critical race theory, but bans racism in schools.
