Critical race theory organizers plot their return to the classroom

The top practitioners of critical race theory just held a weeklong “summer school” in Nashville to strategize, assess the movement, and debate how best to proselytize the next generation. It was an instructive six days of revolutionary agitprop.

Two things immediately stood out. The first is that, yes, despite its protestations to the contrary, the architects of CRT know they must focus intently on those who participate in the teaching profession. If CRT is a tool to be used for “revolutionizing a culture,” as its intellectual godfather, Derrick Bell, once put it, it must be implemented by teachers starting in K-12 and through graduate school.

K-12 teachers, along with students at all levels, were given special ticket prices to the CRT conference at a deep discount, as my colleague and friend Jonathan Butcher pointed out. K-12 principals also were given a special package, though at a smaller discount. 

The other unmistakable takeaway is that CRT practitioners are aghast at the resistance they have encountered. The public, parents in particular, saw the attempted takeover of their cultural institutions that gathered speed four years ago and fought against it, much to the chagrin of the CRT elite and their followers.

And the summer school was indeed organized by the elite most wounded by popular rejection. It was led by Kimberle Crenshaw, a law professor at Columbia and UCLA. She is not just one of the key founders of the movement, but actually gave CRT its name at the discipline’s founding conference in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1989.

Why is anyone surprised? They never give up. They just occasionally redraw and regroup a bit.

That’s why we have to regroup and push our education of constitutional education and individual thinking.

CRT melts like the wicked witch of the west when splashed with actual intelligent thought.

Anything with “critical” in the name is suspect, as it’s a post-modernist dog whistle term.

Just like “justice,” which always means “pay up.”

We are presented with two views of history, that incredibly compete for attention in this country. We must reject the premises of the cultural Marxist because Cultural Marxism itself cannot live peaceably with federal republicanism or individual autonomy, and in fact must replace it.

Karl Marx said, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms of creatures identified to be irradicated or dominated. In this country people resolve the principles of Cultural Marxism to support the creation of White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory.

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. In this expression, the Creator residing beyond infinity reaches into our world from eternity to endow individuals with inestimable value despite the human condition, and therefore remind those holding governing positions of their central duty and own fallibility.

This country needs “a new birth of freedom” to keep faith with the Declaration of Independence and Constitution as the embodiments of the American ideal. Ronald Reagan said, “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the blood stream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same”.

Freedom apart from the inherent individual liberties written into our founding documents is a fraud. We should always contend for the hazards and uncertainties of personal freedom over accepting Faustian like bargains exchanging the opportunity for growth of the human spirit for illusions of government benevolence supporting co-dependent relationships.

I am tired of hearing from a fashionable consensus of profoundly intellectually disabled people deciding the normal realities of life (remember mathematics is racist) inflict irreparable emotional damage on them. This consensus includes equally mentally and morally vacuous individuals who choose to adjust their beliefs to validate these delusional perceptions. The instigators reside as fragments of a swarm trading away the adulthood and dignity found as individuals to embrace a collective prestige lacking dreams to pursue or accomplishments to celebrate. The subservient, enabling parties choose to indicate their purity by receiving effortless, addictive compassion as the drug of choice.
