Civics is giving way to “critical race theory,” a development hastened by anti-American radicals, such as Bill Ayers, who have long shaped the curriculum at graduate education programs from which most public school teachers come. A founder of the infamous Weather Underground and friend to the Obamas (who, though shocked by the Capitol Hill riot in January, didn’t blanch at the role Ayers played in setting bombs at the Capitol in 1971), Ayers served as vice president for curriculum of the American Education Research Association, the nation’s largest organization of education professors and researchers. He was elected to that powerful perch in 2008 and used it to encourage public school teachers to impose anti-American indoctrination on their students. The works of Ayers and many other radicals have been incorporated into courses in graduate education programs across the country. Consequently, public school teachers steeped in these anti-American polemics feel entitled to “teach for social justice.”

Naturally, the Biden administration is moving to cement these destructive trends. Biden’s Department of Education has announced that it intends to distribute grants to proponents of the New York Times’s “1619 Project” and that it seeks to incorporate into public schools “racially, ethnically, culturally, and linguistically diverse perspectives into teaching and learning.” Miguel Cardona, Biden’s Secretary of Education, is cut from the same ideological cloth as Bill Ayers. As head of Connecticut’s public schools, he advanced “woke” curriculum and anti-white racism.

The classical learning that shaped the Founding Fathers and inspired them to write documents in defense of freedom and equality is absent from America’s public schools. The education that built the country up has been replaced by training in how to tear it down.

I have a friend who was a prof at the U of MN (now retired), in the Education Department. He retired early because he said it had become "a zoo." The educators were crazy with their "woke" theology. It is their religion and they are forcing all of the future K-12 teachers, that they are educating at the U of MN, to teach their horrible anti-American values. The upcoming generation has no chance unless something drastic happens.

What It Is

Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity based Marxism.

From article in March 2021 Imprimis (a publication of Hillsdale College) by Christopher F. Rufo from a lecture delivered on March 30, 2021.

Meet Bishop Garrison: The Pentagon’s Hatchet Man in Charge of Purging MAGA Patriots and Installing Race Theory in The Military
> May 5, 2021
This isn’t just some random case of Trump Derangement Syndrome on Twitter.

As the new head of the U.S. military’s “Countering Extremism” task force, this critical race theory loving, Trump Derangement Syndrome suffering, fake news spreading, 100% partisan hack is the man who will now separate permissible “opinion” from purgeable “extremism” at the Pentagon, which is the nation’s largest employer, overseeing 2.9 million personnel.

Just as the Defense Secretary’s 60 day stand down to take stock of “extremism” within the military’s ranks expired, the Pentagon issued a formal memo on April 9th describing its “Immediate Actions to Counter Extremism.” This memo establishes the Countering Extremism Working Group (“CEWG”) to develop and implement all “Counter Extremism” policies at the Pentagon.

Bishop Garrison is at the helm.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

People laugh. We are being punished like Judah, for rejecting God...”but we sacrifice at tge Temple, so He’s not mad at us”. Babylon will smack us down brutally.
We must repent, truly repent, of each of our sinful ways....biggies and small ones. God will step in, only after we do. Maybe 70 years after we don’t!
