Hartford Courant Likens Parents Objecting To Critical Race Theory To ‘KKK’
Breitbart ^ | 7-2-2021 | Dr. Susan Berry

Posted on 07/02/2021 2:52:11 PM PDT by blam

Parents objecting to their children being taught that America is a racist country are “beginning to sound a lot like the KKK,” the editors at the Hartford Courant wrote Thursday.

The editorial focused on a recent packed school board meeting in Guilford, Connecticut, during which parents and students condemned the teaching of principles associated with Critical Race Theory, a Marxist ideology that embraces the concept that all American institutions are systemically racist, with whites as oppressors and blacks as victims.

The Courant editors wrote:

How long is it going to be before those saying that white children are being taught to hate their race realize they are joining a movement that is beginning to sound a lot like the KKK and other groups that have twisted the promise of America into a self-serving message of hate?

A pamphlet for the event, sponsored by a group calling itself “No Left Turn in Education Connecticut,” says that Critical Race Theory is a an “evil, divisive, Marxist anti-American ideology that calls for dismantling and replacing all of our cherished American institutions …”

“This sounds like dog whistle language for racism,” the editors stated, describing the parents advocating for their children at school as having “jumped on a fast-moving bandwagon that paints any mention of diversity or equity as part of a plot to insinuate ‘Critical Race Theory’ into the culture.”

For the leftist media, all roads must eventually lead to Donald Trump.

“It’s the same fear Donald Trump has been trafficking in for years and the same fear that has been mined time and time again to turn neighbor against neighbor,” the Courant editors claimed regarding the parents. “It’s a fear that has been used to justify violence.”

The editorial is published now that parents in “blue” Connecticut have become increasingly...

“Lynching of random white people (CRT) is nothing like lynching of random black people (KKK)”

I wonder what Pravda-on-the-Connecticut thinks of Black parents who have criticized CRT at these meetings?

More propaganda.

PING!

At the top of the worst type of progressive in the progressive food chain are the ignorant hypocritical white progressives working in the MSM industry trying to curry favor with POC and each other by embracing every half witted unrealistic socially conscious babble fad that comes down the pike. These are the relatives you don’t invite to holiday dinners.

as long as they are teaching “critical theories” how about “critical flat earth theory”? Matter of fact, I can think of numerous theories they can teach, but don’t.

What is it with all these North-East states and their “HATE WHITEY” stance? Those states are about 95% or more whitey, if they even see a negro once a month it’s an event!

History of a loser: In 2018, the Hartford Courant joined more than 300 newspapers in releasing editorials in response to President’s Trump’s anti-media rhetoric, a show of solidarity initiated by The Boston Globe. “The Hartford Courant joins newspapers from around the country today to reaffirm that the press is not the enemy of the American people.”
In October 2020, the Courant announced that it would be discontinuing printing the paper in Hartford and outsourcing future printing to the Springfield Republican in Massachusetts.
In December 2020, Tribune Publishing announced that it would be closing the Courant’s Broad Street newsroom by the end of the year with no current plans to open another.

Translation: How long will it take CRT proponents to realize that it has twisted the promise of America into a self-serving message of hate?

As a Cter who fled to SC, I would just like to say that I proposed breaking the public school unions in 1990. I knew they were a lurking monster back then.

I’m not a violent person. As such, I fully support bringing back tar and feathering of these miscreants pitching this hateful, racist CRT tripe at our children. I’d even substitute driveway sealer for the more traditional hot tar, as I’m not violent.

Critical Race Theory and the KKK are two sides of the same coin.
