Progressives betray their panic over grass roots campaign to elect school boards to stop CRT
American Thinker ^ | 17 Jun, 2021 | Thomas Lifson

The public does not like critical race theory (CRT), now that details of what is being brainwashed into our children have started to leak out.

A majority, at 58%, expressed an unfavorable view of critical race theory, while 38% expressed a favorable view, according to the results of a YouGov/Economist poll released Tuesday. (snip)

The debate has caused a partisan split on the issue of critical race theory, with 86% of Democrats expressing a favorable view of the theory, compared to 6% of Republicans. The poll revealed that independents were more likely to side with the GOP, with 20% expressing a favorable view of critical race theory, compared to 76% with an unfavorable view.

While statewide bans against teaching CRT are planned, even more significant may be grass roots efforts to elect school boards that will not simply ban CRT but actually overhaul curricula and address PC bullying and other elements of the politicization of government-funded schools. John Hinderaker, a co-founder of Powerline and president of a Minnesota nonprofit organization, The Center for the American Experiment, has launched a strategically targeted campaign in Minnesota to recruit activists at the local level to fight CRT at the school board level.

School board elections are the Achilles Heel of the leftist school indoctrination strategy. They typically are very low turnout, which enables the unions to mobilize members, their friends and families, and those who make money off of the schools (often the largest employer in a given town) and elect compliant school boards. The Center for the American Experiment launched a 17-city tour of the state, gathering concerned citizens to meetings in all parts of the state. With enthusiastic turnouts and targeted programs on skills needed the effect change, it looks like the unions are panicking

Panicked unions (communist clubs) are a very good thing. Find a cliff and stampede them.

Consider that 87% of America is not (African) black, but we’re now pummeled relentlessly, everywhere, with black this, black that, black music, black movies, black events, more blacks than others in shows and commercials, black victimization, black discrimination, BLM, CRT, black black black black black.

Gee, ya think there’ll be backlash?

Progressives, being the adult children they are, cannot stop when they’re ahead. Ahead, in this case, was equal opportunity, welfare dollars and equitable representation achieved for blacks long ago.

Or, is it really not about equality for blacks, but something else?

I think I finally got the last of them out of the house a couple of electronics recycling events ago.

Friends of ours sold their house nearby about 3 years ago and moved to a lake house. They left behind a 42” (!!) HD Sony Trinitron. Would have taken 10 men and a boy to move that damned thing.

The 2022 MidTerms are literally our last chance to save America.

If we don't take control of at least the House, then we are doomed.

Most importantly, we must purge all RINOs from state legislatures who must face a primary in 2022 and replace them with MAGA patriots. It was RINO-controlled state legislatures who handed the Steal to Dementia Joe on a platter by refusing to enforce voter ID. All because of their petty hatred for Trump.

RINOs are the ones responsible for the woke clown world we now live in.

If I could pick one article to beg people to share everywhere, this would be it.

Once people got involved to overthrow these school boards, it would create momentum to solve many other issues.

Conservatives would lose the sense of helplessness that they can’t change anything. We’d win all over the place.

They’re Leftists, not Progressives, and Thomas Lifson at American Thinker, among many, needs to stop letting them own the narrative.

starting with the teaching of environmental wackoism decades ago, never should have been allowed as there is no science to back up their claims.

“Outlaw teachers unions too.”

Outlaw ALL government employee unions. Do real annual reviews and make teachers work & compete for advancements (like the real world).
