The end of Critical Race Theory
American Thinker ^ | 12 Jul, 2021 | Gamaliel Isaac

CRT begins to eat its own.

Critical Race Theory is liable to end for reasons very similar to the reasons the Salem witch trials ended.

In January 1692, nine-year-old Elizabeth (Betty) Parris and 11-year-old Abigail Williams (the daughter and niece of Samuel Parris, minister of Salem Village) began having fits, including violent contortions and uncontrollable outbursts of screaming. After a local doctor, William Griggs, diagnosed bewitchment, other young girls in the community began to exhibit similar symptoms.

A special court, the court of Oyer and Terminer convened in Salem to hear the cases; and based on spectral evidence the first convicted witch, Bridget Bishop, was hanged that June. Eighteen others followed Bishop to Salem’s Gallows Hill, while some 150 more men, women, and children were accused over the next several months.

Opposition to the trials grew as the family and friends of more and more villagers were accused of witchcraft, including the wife of Governor William Phips. Governor Phips saved his wife by dissolving the Court of Oyer and Terminer and moving all trials to a higher court. This superior court did not allow “spectral evidence” and, since most of the earlier accused witches had been executed due to this evidence, any remaining witches were all ruled innocent.

The tide is turning against Critical Race Theory as those who endorse it become its victims. Most teachers and staff of New York schools went along with the CRT craze, because they were afraid they would lose their jobs if they spoke out against it. In fact even George Davison, the headmaster of New York’s Grace Church school that teaches CRT did not dare admit that he had said in a private conversation with Paul Rossi, a teacher at his school, that “we're demonizing kids, we're demonizing white people for being born.”

For the believers in CRT, why can’t we persecute them for the worst thing a person of their race has ever done?

The Salem Witch Hunt is one of those things that got repackaged and repurposed just like the Democrats did to Civil Rights.

There were no witches killed at Salem. Every single person killed during the witch trials was a professing, to the death, Christian. The real witches got away with killing off the neighbors they didn’t like, destroying Christian testimony in that region for centuries.

So HAPPY to see so many PARENTS (of both races, from what I’ve read and those that came here from Communist countries; i.e., China)) standing up to their School Boards and demanding this end!

I guess bashing people for being white (or black) while also being, CHRISTIAN, gun-loving, law-abiding, heterosexuals wasn’t getting rid of us fast enough so the Commies had to fire at us from yet another angle.

Jerks.

Of course we can and it may just happen if BLM and Antifa keeps it up.

Where are we heading.

Think Rwanda.

Not a whole lot of evil white people responsible for that one.

They always eat their own. It’s the nature of violent revolution. No one is ever pure enough.

It's very good that parents are showing up in large numbers at school board meetings to protest against CRT.

Yet, I haven't heard of any school boards that have been forced to turn away from CRT due to public outrage. The Left just keeps charging forward. They are impervious to angry words.

Does anyone know of any situation yet where a school board has abandoned CRT?

"For the believers in CRT, why can’t we persecute them for the worst thing a person of their race has ever done?"

Or also to be consistent, since supporting conservative values is now said to be racist white supremacy, plus being homophobic (which is equated to sexual discrimination) as well as Islamophobic (religious discrimination), then by the same rule acts that punish persons due to holding conservative values can be considered cases of racial discrimination, plus sexual discrimination as well as religious discrimination, meaning the subjects of such are being discriminated against due to their race, sexual orientation, and religion.

Wishful thinking. Critical Race Theory is based on Critical Theory from the Frankfurt School of the 30’s. It is old school communism. It was everything to do with breaking down the Western ideology of individual freedom and rights. Group identity and group think, socialism, Marxism, and Communism. It is not going anywhere, it will morph, change it’s name, but it won’t change it’s spots. Underneath it all they will continue to push this in disguise, over and over. If you haven’t read anything about this, how it was used against the Tea Party, against Nixon, against Goldwater, and recently against Trump, you haven’t read enough history to understand that CRT is a the same Marxism that came before, and it will keep coming. We have to keep fighting back against it.

“As is well known, revolutions eat their early supporters. “

But if you wait for that to happen you wait too long. And, I don’t recall that happening to the early supporters of the American Revolution.

Basically, this version is winding down to an end. Be ready for the next version and a new battle.

Thanks, Dave!

I would love to see some of the Leftist school boards intimidated into abandoning CRT. Looks like our side has some momentum.
