Trump Orders Purge of ‘Critical Race Theory’ from Federal Agencies

Apparently Trump feels that the left side of the aisle is indoctrinating our children...

From the memo:
All agencies are directed to begin to identify all contracts or other agency spending related to any training on “critical race theory,” “white privilege,” or any other training or propaganda effort that teaches or suggests either (1) that the United States is an inherently racist or evil country or (2) that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.

"Critical race theory is the leftist, racist doctrine that forms the intellectual underpinnings of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and other radical organizations currently engaged in unrest on America’s streets.

It alleges, among other things, that the United States is a white supremacist country, and that all white people are guilty of racism, whether they intend it or not"

Trump Orders Purge of 'Critical Race Theory' from Federal Agencies


Interesting article but the idea behind its implantation could also be applied to religion with so many diverse theories

Critical race theory has become a religion on college campuses these days. The theory is completely insane and devoid of actual facts because of course facts and logic are "white". It's built upon emotion and racism. It is already leading to more racial tension in the country, all of it completely unnecessary. It will eventually lead to a race war.

The problem is dealing with the semantics and degrees of validity that might support the theory. For example what is the purpose of establishing demographics based on ethnicity or religion? Why does racism exist is a valid question. Some of the answers, not so much.

ummm....no

Critical race theory is a theory in social sciences that examines society and culture as they relate to categorizations of race, law, and power. It's based on critical theory (social problems are influenced and created by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors. )

It's not racist, it looks at institutionalized racism as a means of understanding modern American society.


And i thought BLM was based on Marxism...or what ever bug a boo conservatives want to use to scare people

It alleges, among other things, that the United States is a white supremacist country,

False

it says that racial power and relations are maintained over time by societal norms and by the laws of the country itself.

and that all white people are guilty of racism, whether they intend it or not"

False


it says nothing of the sort. It does say that white privileged is systemic and for the most part unrecognized in American society


It has a lot of evidence and theoretical support. But many don't like the message that American society will have racial problems unless we address and do something about what is actually wrong. This us usually underpinned by a fear of loss of white privileged.

look for the Democrats and educators to get their shorts in a tight wad over this one. The MSM will go bonkers IMHO

Implication in the article is to stop the money from going to organizations that promote this teaching and do not end it

can you say colleges and the public schools

why would they get "their shorts in a tight wad" over the censorship of ideas?
