CRT is the new racism and destroys any conception of timeless truths, like “all men are created equal”. In the Christian tradition, all souls are equal. Critical race theory and its grandpa, critical theory, seeks to erase these sacred truths from public memory and replace them with Marx’s dialectic with race, not class, as the catalyst.

Protect your kids from it. Challenge it at your school, school board, and take it to the state capitol. But first, know what it is so you can’t be bowled over by dimwitted teacher union mouthpieces and the far-too-numerous lefty educrats. Here’s where you go to get armored up to protect your kids and schools: https://heritageaction.com/crtbook.
Heritage Action will give you the goods on CRT so that you’ll know more than AFT president Randi Weingarden and NEA head honcho Becky Pringle. Don’t let them intimidate you with the charge of “racist” so they have a free hand to indoctrinate your kids in warmed-over Marxism.
Randi Weingarden gets it so wrong, and she presents herself as the uber-teacher. She has no clue about critical race theory. Watch the drivel for yourself.
The “T”, or theory, in CRT (critical race theory) is the most deceitful initial in the title. It’s not a theory. The appropriation of the word serves the purpose of creating an aura of science, of objectivity, in order to preempt opposition. The fact is, it’s more akin to a dogma, or set of dogmas, an ideology. As in a dogma, conclusions are pre-established on faith and the rest of the verbiage is used to justify the pre-ordained verdict. These acolytes of CRT think and behave more like missionaries as they propagate the faith under the taxpayer’s dime or lefty numbskull billionaire donors.
They’ve got it backwards. Instead of evidence being used to test a possible hypothesis to establish a sound theory, or explanation, these zealots already have their minds made up and will devote the rest of their efforts and resources at gaining new believers. These are doctrines and not credible hypotheses or theories.

The thought-storm begins with the doctrine of the powerful greasing the skids for the powerful. It’s a thought-commitment that preexists any other cognitive work in the thought process. This is where you find the “system” in systemic racism. All other reasons, data, and evidence is swept into the pre-ordained belief of a system of oppression. They rake in a plethora of unequal socio-economic stats by race and then in a leap of faith say, “Aha, it’s racism!”
It’s silly because so much can come between the disparate numbers and the conclusion, like the social annihilation of the Black family or bureaucratic devolution of the public schools, particularly inner-city ones – thanks to Weingarden’s proteges. Far from proof of a system of racial oppression, the additional evidence destroys the pre-ordained conclusion.
Rather, the “Theory” is essentially an ideology. An ideology has two main characteristics: a system of beliefs, or dogmas, and the powerful instinct to proselytize the creed. Integral to the spread of the faith is the capture of the centers of culture and government. The former shapes the popular mind and the latter enforces the ideological homogenization. What the schools and entertainment can’t accomplish, the state will.
NEA president Becky Pringle promises the teaching of critical race theory in the classroom and the defense of any teacher doing so. The legal apparatus of the union will be ginned up to challenge state laws banning the ideology in the classroom.
We are seeing the marriage of CRT ideology with powerful institutions from K-to-grad-school to the Pentagon. Commissars have their noses in the air for any whiff of disparate outcome to jump into feverish action. The kids’ minds are being gradually closed to any other alternative thoughts. We are breeding the minions who’ll perform assisted suicide on our cherished USA.
Weingarden is a living and breathing example of how bad things have gotten. Parents, if nothing else, shield you kids from the onslaught. Take them away from the clutches of her flunkies.
Kevin D. Williamson in his recent National Review piece gets it right about socialism. For you Georgetown coeds, socialism is the turning of economic enterprises into government agencies; therefore, they work like the DMV.
Take Pemex, the Mexican government-owned oil monopoly. A stretch of the Gulf of Mexico is on fire thanks to a Pemex gas leak and lightning. Corruption and poor goods and services are rampant because, surprise, government workers behave like their counterparts in the Teamsters and, when government becomes the business, it has a poor track record of regulating itself. Production shifts from oil products to making secure and handsomely-paid jobs. Things like environmental protection and good products at a good price take a back seat to securing the gravy train.
This time, they have the power of the state to insulate them from the prying eyes of victims and competitors.
Sounds like Solyndra. Sounds like the Green New Deal, or Solyndra on meth. Sounds like the public schools and their money-grubbing interests in the faculty lounges and AFT/NEA. Sounds like Al Gore in his latest role of $200 million eco-tycoon. Dingbats like AOC, et al, and Bernie don’t get it, but, if they’re successful, we’ll get it – it being nothing wanted or expected.
The eco-Puritans in California are about to present a quandary for sunshine state residents. How do you get your kid with a broken arm to the emergency room in an electric car without a charge?
As you should know, the state is at war with fossil fuels no matter how clean. They’re shutting down natural gas plants right and left. The fanatics in charge of the asylum are shoving solar panels and wind mills down the throats of the population and brownouts are becoming a staple of life in the state.

In addition to the gas pump, they have a visceral hatred for the internal combustion engine. Governor Newsom issued an executive order that demands “by 2035, all new cars and passenger trucks sold in California be zero-emission vehicles [ZEV]”. ZEV’s are electric cars if you’re wondering.
Well, put the two together. Brownouts mean that you don’t go to work. According to plugincarworld.com, if you use it daily, you should plug it in daily. But how do you charge your car during a brownout? During a brownout, will the charging stations even be available? I kinda doubt it.
Newsom and company are performing assisted suicide to the state’s oil industry and are calling it “managed decline”. I don’t think that the clowns can limit it to Exxon. It’s “managed decline” for the whole state.
Oh, as for your kid, either learn home medicine or hope that the hospital has a gasoline-powered ambulance. If their vehicle is electric, pray for the hospital to have a diesel generator, and drop to your knees to beseech God that somebody in the vicinity is still making the fuel.
Previously, I questioned the common perception of a modern college degree as a visa to smartland. Let me be clear once again: it isn’t. Today, a person can be forgiven for concluding that the more time a person spends passing through college classrooms, accumulating mounds of debt, the dumber one gets.
Look at all the PhD’s gushing over the vogueish “Anti-racism” crusade, and the legions of advance-degreed consultants lining up to descend on the schools to convert school boards, administrators, staff, and the kiddies into a facetious belief system that amounts to one huge logical fallacy. Imagine a hysteria fed by an unproven assumption that is used to lead to an unprovable conclusion, by people who should know better. It’s the latest edition of the carnival barker; it’s “diversity-inclusion-equity” (DEI), “critical race theory” (CRT), and “Anti-racism”. The quotation marks means that the words are slathered with so much junk thought that they’ve lost their original meaning.
Remember the old trick question, “When did you stop beating your wife?” The query assumes that you were flogging your wife without first proving it. Any answer unknowingly accepts the assumption. That’s the loaded question; that’s CRT; and that’s how you lose your life’s savings in a lawsuit.
The hours and hours of training – aka indoctrination – being foisted on the schools and workplaces is an escapade into drivel. The nonsense begins with unequal outcomes by race: incomes, incarcerations, traffic stops, educational attainment, etc. Then abstract theorizing substitutes for hard data to attach the inequalities to . . . racism. When hard data is attempted to make the connection, it’s relationship to the conclusion is speculative and highly tenuous. In the end, the unequal incomes, for instance, are attributed to hidden, and maybe not so hidden, racist thoughts of employers. The racism is declared to be mysteriously “systemic”. However, it apparently never occurred to the geniuses that unequal incomes may have something to do with lower graduation rates, higher rates of single parenthood, and/or spotty work histories. And those factors aren’t evenly distributed in the population.
If a person was to mention any of that, the PhD-clad indoctrinator tries to gaslight the person into an admission of unconscious racism. At this point, we’ve entered the world of Orwell’s “doublethink”. By mentioning those facts as contributing factors, you would be showing your racism and the need for the penance of public shaming. The denial of racism instantly becomes an act of racism. Back to Orwell’s Oceania, the “Anti-racism” consultant becomes the brainwasher O’Brien to the target’s Winston Smith. It’s doublethink in action.
Now they’ve rejiggered the original query to “When did you become a racist?” And to think that this stuff is making millionaires of degreed blockheads. If not stopped, we’ll be well on our way to social suicide.
