The Patriot Post® · We Will Not Bow Down on CRT
I’m certain you have heard of CRT, better known as Critical Race Theory. Unfortunately, this “theory” is being forced into the minds of elementary students. But that’s not stopping soccer moms and vigilant fathers from speaking up at school board meetings across the country. We do have a constitutional right to speak, don’t we?
This is America. So why is the Department of Justice tapping the shoulders of the FBI to stop parents from speaking out against CRT indoctrination? Freedom of speech gives all Americans the platform to be heard and stand against this educational tyranny promoted by the Left.
How is Critical Race Theory defined? It’s absurd, if you ask me, but let’s find out what the “experts” have to say.
Race is a Social Construct. According to scholars, “Race is the product of social thought and is not connected to biological reality.” In other words, you make up race as you go. That sounds like a true scholar of foolishness.
The Centrality of Racism. Many CRT scholars contend that racism isn’t just based on the heart of individual men and women (“a few bad apples”), but rather that racism is embedded in the DNA of American society, culture, workplace, schools, businesses, and the judicial system. They will have you believe that racism is everywhere you go. Look, it’s even in this Word document.
Commitment to Social Justice. CRT supposedly seeks to address the racial disparity that exists in America. I’ve got news for them: It doesn’t. We are separated by culture, not color. Social justice warriors like BLM seek to disrupt the moral fiber of families that include husband, wife, and children. CRT “seeks to challenge hierarchy itself.”
The Importance of Experienced Knowledge. CRT scholars explain that word of mouth (storytelling, narratives, etc.) from people of color are the key to making American society better.
An Interdisciplinary Perspective. CRT contends that there is not one answer to solve the problem of oppression in America for people of color. I believe if each man and women took personal responsibility for his or her lives, then America wouldn’t “feel” so oppressive. CRT scholars claim it is “interdisciplinary and eclectic,” meaning it borrowed from a few traditions such as feminism. Feminism? As if it hasn’t already destroyed the desire for women to be feminine, beautiful, and to use their influence for good.
Because of CRT, mothers who are concerned about the education of their children are now being targeted as “domestic terrorists.” I remember the only thing controversial in elementary school was how I was going to balance my lunch and dessert on the same tray without tripping over my shoelaces. What’s happening with our education system today is nothing short of criminal. All my children know that their character matters more than the color of their skin. Ever since they could distinguish colors, I’ve pointed to my hand and asked, “What color is this?” Every time they said, “Brown, daddy.” I asked, “So what’s the color of your neighbors across the street?” They would look up and say, “Peach, daddy.” Children see color for what it is — color.
The federal government has declared war on the foundation of our society: the parents. This is a sick and twisted reach by the Biden administration to muzzle the mouths of concerned parents. If parents don’t stand up against this takeover, they will be turned over to the FBI. This reminds me of the story of Daniel’s friends in the Bible. The three Hebrew boys would not bow down to the god of gold that the king commanded, so they were thrown into a fiery furnace. Before being tossed into the furnace, they had a few choice words:
“Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, ‘King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that [we will not] serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.’” —Daniel 3:16-18
