Chest-Thumpers and ‘Aw, Shucks’ Conservatives Personify the Right’s Love Affair with Losing
Chris Rufo is doing something so spectacularly unconservative, he may need to update his political affiliation: he’s winning.
Last week, Rufo’s successful legislative efforts to ban critical race theory in the classroom found critique in the New York Times. The guest essay conspicuously avoided naming him; then again, it didn’t have to.
Critical race theory makes children into the enemies of their parents.
Ibram X. Kendi, the critical race theory prophet of his own twisted brand of antiracism, has become mandatory reading material at colleges, corporations, and in the military.
How to Be an Antiracist topped the New York Times bestseller list. Any of the progressive housewives, Fortune 500 executives, and assorted people being forced to page through the book would learn by the second chapter how Kendi’s middle-class black parents were racist.
The Loudon County school district has stayed true to its word and is repealing a Circuit Court decision to reinstate Tanner Cross, an elementary school gym teacher who was placed on leave after objecting to the district’s policy that transgender students be referred to by their proper pronouns. Cross was speaking during the public comment period of a May 25 school board meeting.
Ontario’s new Grade 9 curriculum preaches ‘subjective’ nature of mathematics
“Math, it continues, has been “used to normalize racism and marginalization of non-Eurocentric mathematical knowledges,” and explains that taking a “decolonial” and “anti-racist approach” to teaching math will outline its “historical roots and social constructions” to students.”
That’s dumb Dougie.
Here’s a reminder that the harbingers of the revolution are hanging out with your kids 8 hours a day.
Critical theories teach students that the institutions of the West, including and especially America, are systemically oppressive for women, minorities, and other identity groups. These theories push the idea of equity or equal outcomes to adjust for this historical oppression. They divide individuals into identity groups and assume members have similar experiences, characteristics, social roles, and motivations. It seems those being treated the worst these days are individuals the radical left sees as oppressed but who reject the premises of critical theories.
As absurd, extreme and reckless as the American left has been on race, and despite growing public disapproval of their antics, they are doubling down rather than pulling back.
On the Fourth of July, Utah’s Black Lives Matter chapter described the American flag as “a symbol of hatred.”
“It’s an attempt to use race as a mechanism for redefining our society, redefining what it was based on and how it impacts everybody and it wants our people to believe that your race is the most critical determinant of who you are and what happens to you in our society. In other words, it’s a bunch of garbage.”
Real Clear News reporter Philip Wegmann asked about the NEA, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, backing critical race theory and Biden’s stance on anti-racism curriculum in K-12 classrooms. Psaki answered that “kids should learn about our history,” including that “there is systemic racism that is still impacting society today.”
More than three-quarters of voters believe it’s important that traditional values of Western civilization to be taught in schools, a new poll revealed on Thursday.
According to the result of a Rasmussen Report survey, 78 percent of respondents said they believe that it is at least “somewhat important” for schools to “teach the traditional values of Western civilization,” including 52 percent that said it is “very important.”
Much to the angst of the radical left, Fox News host Tucker Carlson remains laser-focused on keeping a spotlight on critical race theory, a toxic academic concept that uses skin color to effectively teach children to hate America.
A focus that comes as many Americans begin to realize that they have failed today’s children by allowing them to be exposed to and influenced by far-left propaganda in the classroom — to which Carlson had an answer.
The political left wants critical race theory in every school district in the nation. The nation’s largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts.
Over the weekend, the National Education Association (NEA) held its annual Representative Assembly, with delegates from across the United States voting on priorities and allocating funding for the upcoming school year, with the ideology of critical race theory — a form of race-based Marxism — taking center stage.
More than 5,000 educators have signed a petition vowing to break anti-critical race theory laws being considered in multiple state legislatures — as the controversial curriculum faces a reckoning in districts across the country.
A prominent teachers union has vowed to ‘research’ organizations that oppose Critical Race Theory (CRT), which is commonly referred to as “anti-racist” education to make it seem impossible to reject.
Civil rights isn’t just regulating what you do, but how you think.
When Obama wanted to defend his ties to Jeremiah Wright, he began his speech by denouncing America’s “original sin of slavery”. The phrase is widely and unthinkingly used. And its consequences are the 1619 Project and critical race theory. If slavery is America’s original sin, then the purpose of America and her people becomes striving to atone for that primal sin.
The NEA has already adopted new provisions that support critical race theory, a controversial school of thought that emphasizes racism in American history and maintains that it is systemic in U.S. law and institutions.
