Critical Race Theory is On the Ropes
American Thinker ^ | 1 Sep, 2021 | John Green

Posted on 09/01/2021 4:11:44 AM PDT by MtnClimber

The left is learning that you cannot jeopardize the cubs without getting mauled by momma bear.

Protests against Critical Race Theory (CRT) are breaking out all over America. It may even be shaping up as a major election issue next year. Parents are protesting against CRT at school board meetings and with their local school administrations. It has become such a heated issue that even state and local governments are getting involved -- and they’re not coming down on the side of CRT.

But CRT supporters are telling opponents that they simply don’t understand what it is. They claim they’re fighting racism by giving children a complete and well-rounded picture of the issue. They assert that opponents are denying the reality of history by not supporting CRT. But is that really the case? Are opponents just a bunch of ignorant rubes that don’t get it?

There are a number of books and papers on CRT which provide numerous philosophical interpretations. However, they all subscribe to five basic tenets.

Tenet 1 -- Racism is a central component of American Life

Translation: Racism pervades everything that defines our American culture. Systems, institutions, and even our history are all compromised by racism. Buildings must be renamed and monuments removed. In Wisconsin, even a rock was removed because it was deemed a symbol of racism. The theory is that racism has corrupted everything in America.

I sure hope that the woke teachers and woke companies (woke = communist tactic supporters) get smacked down hard.

We need to remember socialist Democrats (yes, redundant) never drop their agendas.

They rename and repackage it for a later date.

They’re political cockroaches.

I’ll believe CRT is on the ropes when the public school system is eliminated in the USA.

The only way it will be on the ropes is if cameras are in every classroom and parents can sit in on lessons when they choose and a teacher gets fired if they aren’t teaching at grade level their assigned curriculum.

Anything else and liberals will still insidiously try and insert it.

As usual “critical Theory” is not a new idea. It was started in the 1930’s by the Frankfort school.

Institutionalized moronic hate is on the ropes. Good.

That's right. Because we're just too stoopid.

Don’t you believe it. They will just change the name and tone it down a little. The core teaching of CRT is here to stay. The left never quits.
