Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it. In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. *snip* During the 20th century, a number of regimes underwent Marxist-style revolutions, and each ended in disaster. *snip* But rather than abandon their Leftist...

Progressives are becoming more enthusiastic about using race to allocate medical resources. Two years ago, we learned the story of Dr. Lara Kollab. During 2011–2013, while an undergraduate at John Carroll University, she tweeted many antisemitic comments, including: “I'll purposely give all the yahood [Jews] the wrong meds,” and “People who support Israel should have their immune cells killed so they can see how it feels to not be able to defend yourself from foreign invaders.” SNIP Recently, ten years after Dr. Kollab's undergraduate antisemitic tweets, Drs. Bram Wispelwey, a 2014 Ben-Gurion University medical school graduate, and Michelle Morse, a...

By Dr. Peter Jones The Phrase “Cancel Culture” “Cancel culture” came into the collective consciousness around 2017, after the idea of "canceling" celebrities for problematic actions or statements became popular.[1] American institutions and corporations now engage in censorship that was previously unimaginable, piling on critiques of a person, business, movement, or idea. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other Big Tech giants conduct coordinated censorship efforts, silencing important voices and shutting down civic dialogue. Former President Donald Trump is still banned from Twitter and other social media platforms, as are other prominent conservatives. Says The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan, “Cancel culture...

Approaching history with condescending arrogance, as the woke movement does, merely highlights the smallness of the examiners.“In times of change and danger,” wrote the novelist John Dos Passos, “a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present.” For the battalions of social justice warriors battling for racial and gender politics, nothing could be further from the truth. Instead, it demonizes the American past as a story of unrelenting injustice and recently has launched a series of campaigns against it.The California Board of Education just nixed its history curriculum due to a purported...

Turmoil seems to be the daily goal of certain persons in the political class and much of the media. We have for a while been jolted from one alleged existential crisis to the next. Apparently on purpose, we are triggered by partial explanations and depictions to feel something as an emotion they have predetermined on our behalf, not provided information for thoughtful consideration of complicated issues. Cui bono? Who benefits from triggering pre-selected emotional and not rational thought? On a now daily basis, all manner of people pour over our southern border and are then exported throughout the country. There...

You will be told that the following is not racist:[photo of page from book] Hoo boy, that's a doozy. Swap out white for "black," "Asian," "Muslim," "women," or any other group, and it would rightly be called evil. But hating white people is cool these days.

Like a cancerous tumor that has metastasized in the body, Critical Race Theory and its variants including social justice; Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI); anti-racism; cultural competency; and implicit bias have poisoned all aspects of public education and even some private schools. These hateful and racist philosophies have become entrenched in every level and aspect of American public education. The basis for Critical Race Theory is the belief that America is systemically racist and divided into a racial hierarchy with black people at the bottom. For America's inherent racism to end, Caucasians must recognize that through the color of their...

California's Board of Education voted unanimously to approve a new, multi-million-dollar Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum, which will be offered statewide with many of the state's largest school districts making it a requirement for graduation. According to National Review, the curriculum is "probably the most radical, polemical, and ideologically loaded educational document ever offered up for public consideration in the free world." POLL: What scares you the most? On the radio program Tuesday, Glenn Beck reacted to the newly approved curriculum, calling it "the craziest, most terrifying story I have ever had to report." Glenn read an excerpt from the National...

Progressives have a visceral hatred for America, its Judeo-Christian values, its free market system, its freedoms, opportunities, and material comforts. They want to change it fundamentally -- or destroy it. Our founding documents guarantee the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” with a functioning, limited government that serves the people. But such a milieu of healthy competition is an anathema to the Left, which thinks it offensive that Americans are free to work hard and pursue their dreams with minimal government intervention. Instead of letting such a meritocracy prevail and deliver the best to the nation, the...

“Whiteness is a public health crisis. It shortens life expediencies, it pollutes air, it constricts equilibrium, it devastates forests, it melts ice caps, it sparks (and funds) wars, it flattens dialects, it infests consciousnesses, and it kills people . . . ” —Damon Young, New York Times contributor “Over the past year, I have, of course, still had to interact with white people on Zoom or watch them on television or worry about whether they would succeed in reelecting a white-supremacist president. But white people aren’t in my face all of the time. I can, more or less, only deal...

Hate crimes narratives are necessary to keep the eyes of aggrieved members of their respective minority groups on the prize: payback against whites. When I heard about the Atlanta Asian massage parlor shootings last week, my immediate thought was, Here come more hate crime lies, at the exploitative expense of the dead. There's no evidence that the alleged killer was motivated by anti-Asian animus. SNIP The Aggrieved Victim Industrial ComplexLet's be honest: most don't care about numbers, evidence, data, math, and contextually correct facts. Most zealously embrace their opinions, because no one has to ever defend his opinion. Hence why...

As Obama’s national profile began to rise in 2007, the media characterized anyone who supported him as “racist.” When Trump’s national profile began to rise in 2015, the media characterized him as a White supremacist and indicated that his followers must be too. As of January 7, 2021, though, that suggestion was deemed too mild. This year, every White person, unless he or she makes complete obeisance to the racist “anti-racism” movement, is presumptively a “White supremacist.” Because “White supremacists” are, by definition evil, this media mania is potentially painting a target on the back of every White person in...

The offend parents’ “sin” was that they opposed the schools’ efforts to force Critical Race Theory on their children. The Daily Wire’s Luke Rosiak came out with a blockbuster report about current and former teachers in Loudon County, Virginia, plotting via Facebook to infiltrate, hack, and dox parents in the school district who object to the district teaching Critical Race Theory (“CRT”). Dennis Prager did go far enough when he says public school education is child abuse; it’s adult abuse too. Just last week, Dennis Prager wrote again about how extraordinarily toxic public school is for American children. After pointing...

Axios is reporting that the number of bills Republicans have advanced in the first two months of 2021 at the state level to protect women and girls in the wake of the Biden administration’s radical transgender policies exceeded the total of such efforts in 2020. Of course, Axios frames these bills as anti-trans rather than pro-woman and pro-child. While President Biden, or those pulling his strings, felt like taking on this issue by executive proclamation, America is not wholly on board by any stretch of the imagination.A recent poll from Rasmussen found 54% of Americans oppose letting trans athletes compete...

NYC school recommends students stop using 'mom' or 'dad' and replace the terms with more 'inclusive language' A private school in Manhattan is encouraging students to stop using the words “mom,” “dad,” and “parents” and instead use more “inclusive language.” “Families are formed and structured in many ways. At Grace Church School, we use inclusive language that reflects this diversity. It’s important to refrain from making assumptions about who kids live with, who cares for them, whether they sleep in the same place every night, whether they see their parents, etc.,” the guide from Grace Church School in NoHo says....

America is entering its very own Mao-like Cultural Revolution. The iconoclasm of the left’s culture war isn’t a side effect, it’s the point.Dr. Seuss has been cancelled. Some of his work has been deemed racist, and we can’t have that. On Tuesday, the entity that oversees the estate of Theodor Seuss Geisel announced it would no longer publish six of Geisel’s books because they “portray people in ways that are hurtful and wrong.”Among the works now deemed unfit for children are Geisel’s first book under the pen name Dr. Seuss, “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street,”...

We can all sleep more soundly now that the Arizona Department of Education is protecting the nation from the threat of racist 3-month-old babies. Christopher Rufo of City Journal tells the story in a series of tweets: The Arizona Department of Education has created an "equity" toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children "remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness" by age five. Let's review the resources in the toolkit.

The agenda of Balkanization is to transform a unified country into a squabbling aggregation of different racial, religious, and ethnic groups. It is always useful to have a single word with which to identify and marginalize the enemy in any kind of conflict, and "Balkanizer" seems to fit the bill. Balkanizers, who include white nationalists on one side and purveyors of Critical Race Theory on the other, are useful idiots for foreign and domestic enemies of the United States who would like nothing more than to get our people to self-identify by race (e.g. "person of color"), ethnicity, and/or religion...

We're back in Jim Crow times except in reverse. There shouldn't be any confusion about what big businesses everywhere mean when they tout "diversity and inclusion." But to clear up any potential misunderstanding that may exist, consider the following incident, recounted by Stephen R. Soukup in his new book, The Dictatorship of Woke Capital. In 2019, as Rupert Darwell writes at The Epoch Times, the general counsel for the National Center for Public Policy Research, Justin Danhof, "tabled a shareholder proposal at Amazon's annual meeting." It read, "Diversity in board composition is best achieved through highly qualified candidates with a...
