Critical race theory training required for Texas State Department employees: whistleblower

The whistleblower said that employees were required to complete the "Knowing Who You Are" training, and then report back to their supervisor to state that they completed it. They said it was required as a condition of employment.

The training, though not explicitly stating that it's critical race theory, encompasses many of the race-based tenants it's based on. The course teaches that race and ethnicity are essential to every aspect of life.

The training cites a TedX Talk given by Dr. Camara Jones, an activist that helped pioneer the idea of institutionalized racism, and claims that racism is a public health crisis, according to The Daily Wire.

“Gov. Abbott has the Herculean task of cleaning out the CRT (and the administrators who implemented it) from the stables of the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services.”

People here think you can outlaw CRT and it all goes away, such as school boards doing just that. SORRY, doesn’t work - as long as 90% of people in a particular branch of government are Leftists, we WILL have CRT. It will take more than a few school board seats, or even governorships to root out CRT, MUCH MORE.

CRT is really an attempt to explain why minorities as a group, principally blacks, do not excel economically in the society of American opportunity. Economic failure results in a host of other societal ills, such as criminal activity. CRT believes that all racial groups are equally capable on an even playing field and should perform equally to whites. They equate an uneven playing field to “white privilege”.

Upon examining the premise of equality of capability and the societal construct of the playing field, there are two possible conclusions, either the premise of equality of capability is false, or indeed the economic playing field is biased in favor of whites.

The elephant in the room says that much has been studied regarding the lesser innate intelligence of American blacks. The “Bell Curve” and other studied around the world have come to this conclusion. It does not mean the black Americans are less human or less valuable in the eyes of God. So I pose that the premise of equality of capability is false. Why should this not be possible? White men can’t jump.

The minority standing on the sideline only see the outcome of the creativity, dedication and hard work of those that choose to compete. He assumes that all those people have succeeded with capabilities similar to his. This is an error. But his conclusion is that the playing field must be tipped in favor of the whites. What to do?

The best revenge for minorities against White Privilege is to compete and succeed. If you believe that the "playing field" is not level then you have two choices, compete anyway and work even harder to succeed, or go find another playing field.

The other playing field would be to succeed within your own minority community. Black owned businesses in Black neighborhoods, buying from Black distributors and producers.

Minorities will never find a solution in expecting whites to tip the playing field in their direction. The two groups have a completely different view of the field of competition. I think that whites go about their lives competing on the field of life and don't even see the blacks on the sidelines. Blacks stand on the sidelines and have no idea how to get on the field. For some reason they think they need to ask permission of the whites to play?

Just step on the field and compete! Or don't. It’s up to you. But don't blame it on whites if you can't.
