'''Critical race theory''' ('''CRT''') is a radical ideology asserting that races can be put into different categories: That [[white people]] are the opressor and [[black people]] and minorities are the opressed. Critical race theory is [[Postmodernist]] that pins races against each other. Critical race theory also asserts that America was founded on racism and slavery, as well as that any attempt to end racism in America, such as [[Brown vs. Board]], is just an attempt to maintain [[White supremacy]]. Many parents have rightfully protested against critical race theory being taught in public schools.

{{quotebox-float|Critical race theory contends that America is permanently racist to its core, and that consequently the nation’s legal structures are, by definition, racist and invalid … members of “oppressed” racial groups are entitled—in fact obligated—to determine for themselves which laws and traditions have merit and are worth observing. …}}

Bell’s theory is in turn an innovation of [[Critical Theory]], which was developed by Marxist thinkers of the [[Frankfurt School]] in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1923. The Institute’s left-wing scholars fled Hitler’s Germany in the 1930s, relocating to [[Columbia University]] in New York. Critical Theory teaches a view that all aspects of Western society are discredited, and this view forms the foundation of what we know today as [[political correctness]]. One of its most famous purveyors was the Frankfurt School’s [[Herbert Marcuse]], longtime associate of the [[Southern Poverty Law Center]]’s [[Julian Bond]]. Marcuse invented the concept of “partisan tolerance,” that is, [[tolerance]] for leftist ideas and [[intolerance]] of all others. The Southern Poverty Law Center applied Marcuse’s strategy in developing its “Hate Watch” list, and ''[[Rules for Radicals]]'' author [[Saul Alinsky]] used it in his own life’s work.

Christopher Rufo says CRT teaches "that America is an irredeemably racist nation and that the constitutional principles of [[freedom]] and [[equality]] are mere “camouflages,” in the words of scholar William F. Tate IV, for [[white supremacy]]. The solution, according to prominent exponents of critical race theory such as Ibram X. Kendi, is to abolish [[capitalism]] and install a near-omnipotent federal bureaucracy with the power to nullify any law and silence political speech that isn’t “antiracist.”

According to their own policy prescriptions, the critical race theorists would limit or abolish the right to private property, [[freedom of speech]], [[equal protection]] under the law, non-discrimination, [[free enterprise]], and the Federalist system of government.  In its place, they would create a new regime of group-based rights, race-based redistribution of wealth, omnipotent [[bureaucratic]] authority, and active racial discrimination.  It's a program of [[revolution]] that rejects the founding principles [[equality]] and [[freedom]], and would overturn the premise of the [[Constitution]].

Scott Smith, a parent, was at the school board meeting in June 2021 because his daughter had been [[rape]]d by a [[transgender]] boy in the girls’ bathroom at Stone Bridge High School.  Smith was given a no-trespassing order prior to the meeting that forbids him from telling his story, part of an elaborative cover-up by the school district to not publicize the rape of his daughter. When Smith showed up at the school to complain about what had happened, they accused him of lying and called the police.

When Smith showed up at the school to complain about what had happened, they accused him of lying and called the police.

Moments before Smith’s arrest, the school board announced that they had no record of any rape regarding their transgender policies at their schools. An [[Antifa]] activist at the meeting claimed his daughter was lying. When an argument ensued, police grabbed his arm. When he pulled his arm away, he was assaulted and thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from the room.

And while the far-left prosecutor’s office, which would eventually try to throw the book at Smith over his arrest at the school board meeting, insisted they were taking the rape case seriously, the same boy was let back into the school system. Within months, he had committed another rape.

But while it is clear the local school board put children at risk in order to cover for their own demented ideology, things didn’t stop there.

According to its own terms, critical race theory must be racist. Furthermore, Black Lives Matter, the political movement based on its theories, must also be racist—and not black racism, but white racism. At a deep, subconscious level, it serves the purpose of advancing and enhancing “white privilege.”
