Minneapolis school parents had the opportunity to attend this virtual seminar on “Critical Race Theory“…
… Which, we are authoritatively informed, doesn’t exist, and never has existed.
I suspect that would be interesting to “demystify“
What Chimera Is This?
The hallmark of CRT is that it infects everything. Racial identity will be taught in math and science classes, in biology and health, not just history and social studies.
This is because it is a totalitarian ideology.
The idea is to export racism outside of the classroom, to make the student see every facet of his or her life though the lens of race.
One of the weird, mind twisting things about the woke is that it actually denies that “white” is a race. This is because the woke believe that race grants rights: the right to racial self-defense, for example. The in-born right to racial pride. Since white people are not supposed to defend themselves as white people, or allowed to be proud of the fact that they are white, the only way to square to the circle is to declare that “white” is not a race.
And this is what they have done. In woke ideology, white is not a race, it is a false racial identity hobbled together for the sole purpose of dominating and ruling other races. See Ta Nahesi Coates Between the World and Me for explicit claims that whiteness is not a race. Also this is stated implicitly in Toni Morrison’s Beloved.
Well…..kinda like everything from organic kale to memorial statues of Saint George Floyd, what never existed, now does, and is like the best thing ever!!!
An academic, a Canadian woman, is called out for claiming indigenous ancestry when she is descended entirely from European settlers: https://www.dailywire.com/news/a-health-expert-claimed-to-be-indigenous-her-colleagues-say-she-has-no-evidence
The most interesting thing in the article is a quote from an actual indigene about the woman’s strategy:
“When I saw that TEDx, to be quite honest, I was repulsed by how hard she was working to pass herself off as Indigenous,” Wheeler told CBC. “You’ve got no right to tell people that’s who you are in order to gain legitimacy, to get positions and to get funding. That’s abuse.”
And so the lie of “white privilege” is debunked. Again. She knew that being white made it more difficult to gain legitimacy, positions, and funding.
Once you start down the road of racist policies, it inevitably leads you to lies, corruption, and eventually civil disorder as the tribes go to war with each other and their common government. Indeed, all you have to do is read the literature of the racist right (tiny) or the racist left (huge) and you will find that the idea of a “race neutral” government of a racially diverse population is held in contempt. The “anti-racist” policies endorsed by Biden administration officials, many Democrat state governments, the largest American corporations, and virtually all American educational institutions, are explicitly racist.
Regarding CRT, there’s a big to – do in Minnesota where the state education department (sic) has issued social studies standards that originally ignored everything from Washington to WW2. CRT is a big part of that initiative, whether or not they’re admitting it.
