This month’s editorial is on Critical Race Theory, What it is and how to fight it. Here are some excerpts, but I encourage you to read the entire article.
CRT is a descendent of Marxism. Classic Marxism poised the “Haves” (i.e. Capitalists) against the “Have Nots” (i.e. the workers. Since that concept didn’t work in America because of our culture of entrepreneurship, the left subsititued “The Oppressed” for the “Have Not” and the “Oppressors” for the “Haves”. This is the concept of identity politics pitting blacks versus whites, men against women, gays versus straights, etc. By their definition, if you were not part of an oppressed class, you were an oppressor. Here are three examples of how this is being taught in schools:
- In Cupertino, California, an elementary school forced first-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.”
- in Springfield, Missouri, a middle school forced teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix” based on the idea that straight, white, english-speaking, Christian males are members of the oppressor class and must atone for their privilege and “covert white supremacy”
- In Philadelphia, an elementary school forced fifth graders to celebrate “Black Communism” and simulate a Black Power rally to free 1960s radical Angela Davis from prison.
According to a recent Gallup poll, 77 percent of conservatives are afraid to share their political beliefs publicly. This has to stop. We can’t live in fear. Choose courage. Get engaged.
It’s easy to stop a lone dissenter; it’s much harder to stop 10, 20 or 100 who stand up for American principles. PARC is putting together a team of people who will write letters to politicians and Letters to the Editor of newspapers. To be put on that list, send an email to se*******@pl********************.or.
This is unbelievable!!! The United States of America is turning into a communist, Marxist third world POS country thanks to the insane, criminal Far-left radical, racist Democrats who are now “the new” socialists and communists!! We must fight against these insane, (and make no mistake, they are insane), very dangerous, treasonists, criminal members of the Democrat Party (and we all know who they are), hell bent on making Conservatives extinct. This is nothing less than genocide and racism against whites by the Democrat Party! Do everything you can to oppose them before it is too late!!
