Ten Questions on Critical Race Theory
American Thinker.com ^ | May 18, 2021 | Christopher Paslay

Recently, during a Fox News interview with Martha MacCallum, American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten was asked about Critical Race Theory in K-12 classrooms. Weingarten answered by oversimplifying the historical inaccuracies contained in the New York Times’ 1619 Project, and when pressed on the racially polarizing, anti-American nature of the curriculum, Weingarten abruptly changed the subject to the 2020 election.

“That’s a dodge,” MacCallum told Weingarten.

It was a dodge indeed. The divisive tenets at the heart of Critical Race Theory are not the easiest to promote and defend. This doesn’t excuse Weingarten from answering basic questions about the topic, and as a Philadelphia public schoolteacher and dues-paying member of the AFT, I’d like to know how Weingarten truly feels about the toxic ideologies being pushed on America’s teachers and students.

Here are 10 questions for Weingarten concerning the use of critical race theory in America’s K-12 Classroom:

1. Should we be teaching children that all White people are inherently racist? This is a central point made by Robin DiAngelo, who regularly facilitates professional development trainings for teachers and other organizations. Her bestselling book, White Fragility has been used to develop so-called “antiracist” curriculum in school districts across America.

I asked on a military web site, If, as critical race theory teaches, all American institutions are racist, how can you maintain good discipline and order if every Black soldier can consider every order by a white officer as racist?

Let’s teach the kiddos this:

The first “known” legal slave owner in American history was a black tobacco farmer named Anthony Johnson.

North Carolina slave holder William Ellison (in 1860) was a black plantation owner with 63 slaves.

American Indians owned thousands of black slaves.

In 1830 there were 3,775 free black people who owned 12,740 black slaves.

Brutal black-on-black slavery was common in Africa for thousands of years.

Most slaves brought to America from Africa were purchased from black slave owners.

White people ended legal chattel slavery.

If every white person is racist why did Trump get a million times more hate and harassment than B. Hussein Obama?

Exactly.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot if if a group of angry white people were to throw that into their lying faces?

It would be fun just to watch their heads explode.
