Newt Gingrich: Critical race theory spreading – but parents pushing back and here's how conservatives can help
Fox News ^ | June 27, 2021 | Newt Gingrich

Critical race theory (CRT) is now center stage in the culture war between left and right, emerging in recent months as one of the nation’s most contentious issues.

On the surface, it may seem progressives are winning as CRT infects schools across America, but the fight against this racist indoctrination is really a winning issue for conservatives.

According to CRT, racism is a social construction that pervades every aspect of American life, benefiting all White people (regardless of their socio-economic standing) at the expense of non-White people. Advocates of CRT believe the solution is to undo many of the cornerstones of American society. The theory is a form of cultural Marxism based on race rather than class.

The media portrays CRT as a serious academic field confined to law schools. MSNBC guest host Zerlina Maxwell, for example, said last week that CRT "refers to the study of structural racism and it's not taught until college or graduate school, law school. It's a law school class, everybody … So, let's start by making it completely crystal clear at the top of this interview, that critical race theory is not taught before law school."

CNN analyst Natasha Alford similarly claimed that "lies about the so-called dangers of critical race theory have spurred legislation against teaching what is normally taught in law schools."

It’s telling how adamant the left is about CRT only being taught in law school. Evidently, they know how bad it would look for CRT to be taught to younger kids.

Which of course is happening across the county.

In Cupertino, California, an elementary school forced third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and rank themselves according to their "power and privilege."

In Springfield, Missouri, a middle school forced teachers to locate themselves on an "oppression matrix," based on...

I heard this morning Gov. DeSantis banned CRT and mandated civics and the teachings of the evils of communism. LOL Awesome! The Marxists must be losing their minds, but that’s how you fight it.

The fastest way to end this “theory” is openly describe it as what it is: A public admission that certain races will always lag behind others due to genetic differences.

Once people (on either side) realize exactly what this is saying, they’ll either quietly accept it loudly reject it. A government that publicly insists some of its citizens are genetically inferior to others will have a hard time defending that position - and an impossible task convincing those more talented that the others are their “equals”.

Yep, that’s absolutely the way to fight it.

We need many more like Gov. DeSantis in office.

"an impossible task convincing those more talented that the others are their “equals”."

Isn't that the whole purpose of those left wing labor unions?

I remember how much a fight conservatives put up against faggot “marriage” so I don’t put up much hope for them stopping CRT from being taught. In ten years Republican politicians will call you racist if you don’t bend down and kneel for every black person you meet.

The attraction of the leftwing labor unions (for the members) isn’t the “equality” - it is trying to prevent the employers from screwing the workers (though the measures to do so put the employers at huge competitive disadvantages).

For decades unions prevented middle-class Americans from being replaced by foreign scabs - then they drove the employers out of business.

The best way to deal with CRT is to eliminate public schools entirely.

This idea that knowledge can ever be politicized has no place in a free nation of normal, civilized human beings.

Biden signs one stinking royal decree granting OUR money to any school teaching this Communist inspired drivel and we have to run around all over the nation trying to put out the fires he lit with one simple act.

I have a better idea. How about we take away all this power that has centralized into the District of Criminals with a Convention of States?

Once birth control and no-fault divorce are accepted, there’s no real argument against homosexuals marrying each other.

Go to meetings, especially school board meetings. Donate to candidates who oppose CRT. Write letters to your public officials and to the editors of your newspaper. Call Bongino, Travis & Sexton, Levin, Hannity, Beck, and all the rest. Publicize the evils of CRT to your neighbors in any way you can.

Well, what is all the fuss about? Now, we are hearing the protestations of geniuses like Michael Eric Dyson telling us that there is no CRT mandate, and that the white reaction to it is illegitimate anyway. Fine. We will ban and prohibit CRT “teaching” in Public Schools at the state level, and in any State Government institution, as it is perniciously racist and destructive of citizen’s rights. So, why do the extreme left Democrats suddenly shriek like banshees on fire? If it is not really happening, then what are they complaining about? Ooops! Their slips are showing, and so is their guilt.
