The 'Critical Race Theory' Curriculum Shell Game

Just because the lesson plans aren't labeled CRT, it doesn't mean they're not discriminatory, divisive, and demeaning

One of the few upsides to Zoom school during Covid lockdowns was that parents became aware of the obscene curricula being taught in both government and private schools. They were rightly shocked and angered by discriminatory, divisive, and demeaning lessons being taught under the guise of DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) — which is easily traced to Marxist Critical Theory — and in this instance, known as Critical Race Theory.

Additionally, parents were treated to an inverted and yeah, perverted, form of sex education that was being taught to children starting in Kindergarten. They were being hyper-sexualized AND introduced to a radical gender ideology, causing little kids to question their biological sex. While the sex-and-gender agenda is almost inexorably linked to CRT, it’s what comes AFTER children have been stripped of the dignity and recognition of objective reality their parents mistakenly thought they were instilling in them. In keeping with Marxist doctrine of building back better (pun intended), first you destroy the underpinnings of the existent structure. Then you rebuild it.

To oversimplify: CRT would teach white kids they were oppressors and Black and Brown kids they were the oppressed. Guilt, shame, confusion, anger, suspicion, ‘othering,’ and the breaking up of friendships would follow. Kids, now devoid of self-identity and companionship would be seeking belonging. And that’s where the radical gender agenda would come in. (Going into more detail about this aspect requires a dive deeper than practical for this essay.)

But wait, you say! It’s not like there are text books labeled Critical Race Theory, or Radical Gender Ideology, or Marxism for Beginners. Of course there aren’t. And you probably won’t find them no matter how hard you look.

That’s because what kids are being taught what’s called Social Emotional Learning. And yes, the Approved Internet (™) will tell you it is absolutely not is a Trojan Horse for this radical approach to ‘educating’ children. But it absolutely IS.

Skim or read the whole article, but here’s an excerpt from the New York Post:

Social and emotional learning is the latest trend in your child’s classroom. SEL sounds beneficial, but that’s a disguise. In truth, it often indoctrinates kids with extremist ideas many parents don’t condone.

Monday, the Hartford Courant reported that West Hartford, Conn., elementary-school parents are in an uproar. They’re complaining that teachers are putting words like “nonbinary” on the chalkboard and telling kids, including kindergarteners, they can live life as a gender different from what they were assigned at birth. School authorities told parents that they can’t opt their children out.

Fighting SEL is an uphill battle because it’s not only favored by the left-leaning educational bureaucracy — it’s also big business. “The SEL ecosystem today is flush with dollars,” reports industry consultant Tyton Partners.

Billions in federal COVID-relief money for schools are being used to buy SEL programs and fund SEL instructors. Advocates and companies that produce the materials lobby Congress and the federal Education Department to ensure legislative language precisely matches what they’re selling.

In an interview with The Daily Caller News Foundation, Jennifer McWilliams, a parental rights education consultant, says “It’s a game of semantics…Critical Race Theory is the ideology, but Social Emotional Learning is the delivery system.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis banned the teaching of CRT in public schools, which angered his critics. Many to this day deny it was being taught in the first place. CRT may be gone, but in name only.

But why would they be doing this? It can’t be all about the money...

The answer is loaded. Teachers unions are working at the behest of a worldwide movement to strip away parental rights, so governments becomes caretakers — masters to generations of young, loyal adults who have been denied the tools to think critically and ask questions. At the same time, these young adults are less likely to want families of their own, because they’ve been rewired to reject the whole construct.

What the hell, you ask?

Yeah, so the answer is grim. ALL of this inversion of facts and human nature is deliberate and methodical. It’s to get kids ‘groomed’ for the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is NOT a good thing — contrary to all the coolness promoted in Verizon ads on YouTube. It’s actually the greatest existential threat to humanity that we face right now. If you have the time and the stomach for it, read this by the super-brilliant podcaster Whitney Webb:

Can it be stopped?

DeSantis knows where this is headed, which is why he’s trying to purge it from schools. Other states have done the same, and more should follow suit.

My friend & colleague, and a fierce Mama Bear, Kira Davis, a writer at RedState is running for school board in Orange County, CA. Many concerned parents across the country (you know, the ones Merrick Garland labeled ‘domestic terrorists’) are doing the same thing. If you don’t know of Kira, she’s Black and conservative. She used to be a Democrat.

Conservatives are not "obsessed" with CRT. The left is & they're wedging it into our institutions. And yesterday we were all talking about it bc it was trending. The conservative snobbery class is just as annoying as the lefty snobbery class. Parents are doing this right-locally

Here’s one of Kira’s pieces:

The Unbearable Whiteness (and Hypocrisy) of Critical Race Theory

The hypocrisy of Critical Race Theory is baldly obvious, but nowhere more so than when it comes from white proponents – who, by the way, seem to make up the majority of CRT supporters. It seems that white people are the ones making the bulk of accusations about systemic racism even as they occupy all the positions of power in “the system” but here we are.

Another way to flush the system of this toxin is to decentralize education. (The delightful thought of decentralizing any of our corrupt and bloated institutions is sort of dizzying! Right?)

How a decentralized education system keeps hubris in check

A decentralized education ecosystem is characterized by diversity of options. Rather than parents being forced to send their child to an assigned district school with a standardized curriculum, they now have increasingly greater opportunities to access a charter school, low-cost private school or microschool, learning pod, homeschooling center or co-op, or virtual learning platform.

The more robust the education marketplace, the more choices there will be for parents. The more choices that are available, the more likely it will be that parents will find a learning environment for their children that reflects their preferences and needs.

Marxists never rest, which is why we need to sleep with one eye open.

I love you guys for reading this, but not in the creepy way!
