Critical race theory: Is it critical? Why now?  Here's the simple explanation to a very complex topic. Critical race theory (CRT) is just Marxism renamed- but to call it neo-Marxism would be too revealing for what it really is.  And why now? CRTis just the next step by Leftists to separate children from their parents, college students from the truth and knowledge they need to know, and to separate different groups and classes of people.  The United States of America is not systemically racist, although there are individual incidents of racism that have and do occur. Critical Race Theory does not attempt to address the problem of racism, but attempts to unravel and dismantle the foundations of our nation, such as the family unit, the Constitution, capitalism, equality and the economic free market system.  “Equality” is one of the hallmarks of our Declaration of Independence, and is to guarantee all citizens an equal starting line in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.  “Equity” is part of the Marxist belief system that is an attempt to guarantee all citizens an equal finish line, and attempts to take from the achievers, while stripping us of the God-given rights we are born with, to somehow give everyone an equal professional and economic finish line.  The following is adapted from a lecture delivered at Hillsdale College on March 30, 2021 by Christopher Rufo, Founder and Director, Battlefront. Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy. Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it. It’s time for this to change. We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it….In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism. Originally, the Marxist Left built its political program on the theory of class conflict. Marx believed that the primary characteristic of industrial societies was the imbalance of power between capitalists and workers. The solution to that imbalance, according to Marx, was revolution: the workers would eventually gain consciousness of their plight, seize the means of production, overthrow the capitalist class, and usher in a new socialist society.WHAT IT ISCritical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism. Relegated for many years to universities and obscure academic journals, over the past decade it has increasingly become the default ideology in our public institutions. It has been injected into government agencies, public school systems, teacher training programs, and corporate human resources departments in the form of diversity training programs, human resources modules, public policy frameworks, and school curricula.There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.” Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell. Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality.Full article by Christopher Rufo: https://imprimis.hillsdale.edu/critical-race-theory-fight/ Gov.
