Report: Critical Race Theory May Sway Independent Suburban Voters Away from Democrats
Breitbart ^ | 7-26-2021 | Kyle Olson

Critical Race Theory and its related philosophies may push independent suburban voters away from Democrats, according to a Politico report Monday.

Politico highlighted California mother Elina Kaplan:

An immigrant who came to the United States from the Soviet Union, she is a registered Democrat from San Mateo County, Calif. And she’s alarmed over her state’s new model ethnic studies curriculum, which cites critical race theory as a “key theoretical framework and pedagogy.”

“I firmly believe that if the vast majority of Californians and Americans knew about this, and about the content of this type of curriculum, this would not be happening. We would not be having this conversation,” Kaplan told the site.

The establishment media and leftists in the education realm attempt to dismiss parental concerns by suggesting they are misinformed or do not want the history of slavery and racism in the United States to be taught.

As parents attend school board meetings across the country to vocally oppose Critical Race Theory seeping into curriculum under the guise of “equity” and “culturally responsive teaching.” As the Philadelphia Inquirer framed it:

A major talking point in conservative media and staple in Republican campaign messaging, critical race theory has increasingly become a focus of public comment at area school board meetings. Many public school leaders say they aren’t teaching the concept — a legal framework that dates to the 1970s and examines racism as embedded in institutions — but are working to promote diversity, equity and inclusion, efforts that have been underway for years.

Their critics — who have been organizing on social media — argue schools are foisting a political belief system on students, and sowing division by excessively focusing on race.

Some Democrat politicians also dismiss those concerns.

“That’s another right-wing conspiracy.

A typical counter-argument is that it isn’t really “Critical Race Theory” that’s being implemented, so no worries. It’s actually something with no name that deviates from CRT by about 0.1%. That makes it a completely different thing, and anyone who isn’t a trained expert should just shut up about it and obey.

Of course she is. And she, like millions of other Demonrat immigrants, are the problem. She may not like CRT, but she will vote Joe Biden Zombies in EVERY SINGLE TIME, and Demonrat Zombies ALWAYS trash the country. ALWAYS.

Should be any common sense thinking and decent American.

But then again, many won’t even know what it is as the media ramps up its propaganda campaign.

I don’t understand how the President can order young people to go and risk their lives in battle for a country that those young people have been taught is founded on racism, and is today the most racist, bigoted, unjust society in the world.

How is that going to happen? I’m sorry, I can’t see it.

So even worse than an odd hair style and mean tweets to people.

Get our country back.

If thousands more than the fraud voters show up to vote then we might do that.

The basic tenets of critical race theory, or CRT, emerged out of a framework for legal analysis in the late 1970s and early 1980s created by legal scholars Derrick Bell, Kimberlé Crenshaw, and Richard Delgado, among others.

A good example is when, in the 1930s, government officials literally drew lines around areas deemed poor financial risks, often explicitly due to the racial composition of inhabitants.

There is much work to be done. IMHO there are only about 10% of parents that know what is going on at their children school. I do not know if there are that many that know what CRT even is.

There must be a very simple and easy to explain and understand the term Critical Race Theory to these parents. Most would be appalled.
