Head of woke school admits Critical Race Theory has a serious problem
American Thinker ^ | Andrea Widberg

Posted on 04/21/2021 4:30:55 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Paul Rossi was a math teacher at the prestigious Grace Church school in New York. However, when he suggested that the school’s deep dive into a woke “anti-racist” curriculum was racist and students were being silenced, the school shut him down. Rossi then wrote an open letter that went deservedly viral, leading to his being fired. Rossi next pointed out that the head of the school had agreed with him that the Critical Race Theory operating in the school was anti-White. When the school head denied saying that, Rossi had the receipts to prove he was lying. It’s time to call all these people to account.

Grace Church High School in Manhattan charges parents $57,330 per year to *ahem* “educate” their children. Of late, of course, education in woke enclaves has gone by the wayside. Instead, it’s Critical Race Theory (CRT) all the way down. As with all these leftist schools, you can see how extreme it is by looking at its “Statement on Inclusive Language,” which it wrote after it decided to purge language to meet leftist demands, and its statement about “Antiracism, Equity & Belonging,” which reflects its obsession with and abasement before CRT.

Upset by the way in which CRT is demonizing Whites, warping reality, and shutting down critical thinking, Rossi wrote an open letter describing the essentially Maoist struggle sessions taking place in the school. In the letter, he explained how, when he politely challenged the anti-white racism inherent in this thinking, the head of the school insisted that he had “harmed” students, and

created “dissonance for vulnerable and unformed thinkers” and “neurological disturbance in students’ beings and systems.” The school’s director of studies added that my remarks could even constitute harassment.

Many “whites-only” places virtue-signal to avoid being targeted by blactivists; if that is the case here they’ll be required to give a bunch of seats to unqualified “preferred race” students at no cost.

How many Hollywood celebrities or Democrat politicians would live around black people? They are the best cases in point of that dynamic; use smoke and mirrors to keep blacks away from you and your loved ones.

Progressives will roast and eat their own if they dare wander off-message.

And they wonder why the K12 system just utterly sucks in this country and is in serious need of a total overhaul back to basics. What a frakin’ joke.

One has to wonder what the precise chain of command of this "power" of Critical Race Theory is?

White people are pulling their kids out of school in droves--essential killing some private schools--yet the schools don't care.

It is much more than just social pressure...but the force behind this Maoist/Marxist influence is still able to lurk in the shadows.

“This is the immorality of the woke leftists: They know that what they’re doing is racist, indecent, and harmful, and they do it anyway. Whether they hope the alligator will eat them last, or they’ll do anything for power, or they are simply faddish cultists doesn’t matter. “

Not quite, but then our side is never the brightest bulbs on the Christmas Tree (like our ‘boycott’ of the Georgia Senate Runoffs, but I digress).

In this case, with this woke shit, what the Left is saying to us is that THEY are now in power, and they can and will spew ANYTHING in our faces, and we have to deal with it, or pay big-time (such as by losing jobs, or being kicked out of school).

This is their way of show us just who our new masters are.

"This is the immorality of the woke leftists: They know that what they’re doing is racist, indecent, and harmful, and they do it anyway."

That's the plan. Once they can control what you say, they start to gain the ability to control what you think, and soon they have it.

They start by forcing people to speak absurd lies: Whites are born racist, men can become women, police are murderers, Trump is a Russian agent, Biden is a great leader, etc. Soon enough people begin to believe them, they become accepted truth. It cannot be changed with simple debate for it is held by its adherents as deeply as religion.

Fortunately, there is a rebuttal. It's RIDICULE. Deep down, the adherents know it's false. Don't debate them. Ridicule them, and then walk away. It works.

First you demonize, then you proceed to the elimination.

Language was invented so the powerful people could lie to the deplorables.

Ignore what they say, just watch what they do.

“Once they can control what you say, they start to gain the ability to control what you think, and soon they have it.”

“Those who control language control minds.” Ayn Rand.

He was a math teacher and didn’t get the text that math is racist.

I was educated in the public schools of Northern Virginia in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Being in the shadow of the Pentagon and the Eisenhower then the Kennedy administrations we were desegregated from beginning to end with many of our teachers being WW II veterans. Everyone was treated the same and had to pass on their merits. Then came Johnson and the Democrats reaction to civil rights.
