WHAT IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY?

Critical race theory (CRT) Critical race theory is an ideology intended to divide the world into White oppressors and non-White victims. Instead of traditional forms of knowledge, it holds up personal narratives of marginalized minority ‘victim’ groups (Blacks, Hispanics, Asians) as evidence of the dishonesty of their mostly White heterosexual oppressors. The theory attempts to fight racism with racism. It is essentially a racial take on communist “critical theory,” attempting to indoctrinate communist ideals into our children by calling them racist if they disagree with the teachings. CRT runs counter to our Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, the 1964 Civil Rights Act and many state and local laws. 

Understand a brief history of how CRT began. 

Is it just a college course? Activists claim that Critical Race Theory is a college-level course. This is true; critical race theory is taught in colleges. They go on to claim that it cannot be in K-12 education for that reason. This is untrue. CRT has trickled down into public schools through simple, yet radical talking points.

What are parents fighting? When concerned parents and legislators say they're fighting CRT, they're not talking about college courses. They're fighting left-wing ideology (like CRT) that made its way into public schools through politicized teachers, school boards, and new curriculums.

Are those ideas taught in schools? Absolutely. There have been hundreds of documented cases over the past five years. Here are some examples:

A third-grade teacher in California forced students to learn about their privilege. The students had to identify which races held power and privilege.

Countless schools now openly teach that police and the American policing system are inherently racist. They advocate for the defunding and abolition of the police.

The Education Trust, an organization that attempts to collaborate with schools to implement their activism into education, produced an "Equitable Math" curriculum teaching that distinguishing between right and wrong answers in math is racist.

Did you know that teachers unions, namely the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), support Critical Race Theory? 

"Many teachers are going above and beyond in the name of what is best for kids, but their ability to truly innovate and explore new ways of teaching and inspire learning is being blocked by the unnecessarily restrictive demands of union leadership."
