Progressives betray their panic over grass roots campaign to elect school boards to stop CRT

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

The MSM and powers to be want blacks to have better self esteem. Blacks score 11 points lower on IQ tests in general. That said the average score has been dropping and todays whites are still maintaining their higher averages against the black population, but white scores are down 25 points on average since 1975. The population in general is getting less intelligent with each generation.

So when you wonder why people, in general, believe lies taught in schools ranging from CRT to Glo-bull Climate Change, it is because “critical intelligence” is getting harder to find than “not so common common sense”.

Agree. And, I’ll wager that the drop in American IQ matches the rise in illegitimate births and obesity.
