Ban Critical Race Theory from Our Schools
2021-07-04
[TOWNHALL] As we head toward this weekend's 245th anniversary of American independence, Critical Race Theory has emerged as the dominant subject gripping and dividing the nation. The threshold question, itself the subject of rancorous and oftentimes disingenuous debate, is what the term "critical race theory" even refers to. When this semantic debate surfaces, proponents usually attempt two things at once.

First, they accuse their CRT-skeptical interlocutors of being bigots, white supremacists or apologists who want to deliberately muddle and whitewash America's complex -- and at times tragic -- history of race relations. This first step involves CRT proponents grilling CRT critics as to why they are so "scared" to "discuss racism" or "discuss slavery," as if that applied to anyone other than a truly infinitesimal and politically powerless fringe subset.

Second, while publicly seizing the moral high ground, CRT proponents simultaneously work behind the scenes to advance what it is that they actually believe. Consider this forthright (and harrowing) admission from "Critical Race Theory

#6  ^BA is what you Americans call an undergraduate degree. In my experience, people with a BA in something-education know about 1/10 of what a BA in something from a regular university knows.

#4  #1 Abolish teacher colleges and departments of education. Make aspiring teachers to get BA in the subject they plan to teach and then 3 - 6 months course to get a teaching license.

#3  if the Republican wins the Gov race in VA this November it will because of the CRT issue

CRT is toxic even in many of the leftist strongholds like the suburbs of Washington DC

probably it will be important in NJ but not as much as other issues

about a dozen large cities (e.g., NYC, Cleveland, Detroit, Atlanta, Miami, Pittsburgh) have elections for mayor in Nov but crime will likely be the dominant issue

#1  Close all the government schools and give each childcare provider a voucher. Let the parents decide if they want their kids educated or indoctrinated. Or if they care at all. If they don't, why should I?
