“Critical Race Theory” Crackpot Communism

Public school education has never been more propagandistic.

We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst,” wrote C. S. Lewis, commenting in his book The Abolition of Man about propagandistic trends in education. These days public school educators laugh at patriotism and are not shocked but pleased to find anti-American dissidents in our midst. Even Lewis couldn’t have anticipated the sheer volume of poisonous propaganda sloshing through today’s public schools, propaganda that is deliberately designed to turn students against their own country.

President Joe Biden may have revoked his predecessor’s ban on critical race theory and embraced its concept of “equity,” but several US states have adopted laws against the doctrine, setting up a showdown with the White House.

On Tuesday, Arkansas passed legislation banning critical race theory (CRT) “indoctrination” in public agencies and prohibiting the state from promoting collective guilt, segregation, racial stereotyping or scapegoating.

A father who pulled his daughter out of her $43,000-per-year New York City school said other parents are unaware of how bad the ‘woke’ teaching in the city’s schools has become, and should follow his lead and withdraw their children.

Harvey Goldman took his nine-year-old out of Heschel School, a Jewish day school on the Upper West Side, because he felt its curriculum ‘teaches children to feel bad about the color of their skin’.

‘They are teaching these kids terrible things,’ he said on Tuesday. ‘Teaching them to feel bad about themselves and it is really awful.’

MSNBC host Joy Reid mocked a parent Tuesday night for saying that opposing critical race theory in schools was not racist.

Reid said that thanks to the “1619 Project,” a controversial initiative to teach history in a way that centers around slavery and teaches that 1619 was the true founding of the United States, “we’ve seen a growing movement to reframe how American history is taught in public schools.”

The Oklahoma House on Thursday voted to ban public schools and universities from teaching critical race theory in civics and history classes.

After hours of discussion and debate, the GOP-controlled House voted 70-19 in favor of the bill, HB1775, which now heads to Gov. Kevin Stitt’s desk to be signed into law.

When John McWhorter, professor of Linguistics and American Studies at Columbia, described ‘antiracism’ as America’s ‘new flawed religion’ in 2015, few could have imagined just how prescient that description would prove to be. Just last week, the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi thanked George Floyd for “sacrificing his life for justice” while CEOs, celebrities, and other politicians all made versions of the same promise: the work was not done.

Until last summer, Harvey Goldman had no idea that his 9-year-old daughter was learning about George Floyd’s death and Black Lives Matter as well as her own “white privilege” at the $43,000-per-year Heschel School in Manhattan.

Now he’s part of an underground network of parents in NYC and around the country, many of whom are left-leaning, fighting what they believe is the undue focus on race by schools as part of the new “woke” culture.
