Advanced Practice Series:
Equity Leadership through a Critical Race Theory Lens
This institute is our series for advanced conversations about equity, all driven through an approach that turns critical race theory into practices for building equitable learning environments. The sessions focus on applying Critical Race Theory as a form of practice for interrupting systemic racism and creating more equitable learning environments. These conversations are for equity practitioners who are ready to move from changes in their own practice to changes that interrupt the existing system of schooling.
Rufo straight-up admits that it was corporate and educational anti-racist trainings that motivated his crusade, not critical race theory itself; that the primary reason he selected it as a target was its ominous sounding name; and that he neither knows nor cares about the actual substance of CRT. "Strung together, the phrase 'critical race theory' connotes hostile, academic, divisive, race-obsessed, poisonous, elitist, anti-American," he told Wallace-Wells. At a recent conference, he contemptuously scoffed at "pathetic … angry graduate students" who try to argue with him about CRT or other topics. "I don't give a s**t about this stuff," he said. On Twitter, Rufo frankly admitted that he wants to make CRT into a vacuous smear and fill up its meaning with everything he doesn't like:
The goal is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think "critical race theory." We have decodified the term and will recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans.

The guy who propagated the hoax admitted he does not care what CRT the academic concept is. He just wanted to turn it into a dirty word. He has succeeded among Republicans so far.

Rufo and his cohort are in the process of creating an ideological space where the signifier "anti-racism" will necessarily imply bloody Marxism, the gulag, the end of American democracy, the seizure of private property etc., but mentions of "racism" will also imply Critical Race Theory, which in their formulation creates the "real racism" through even talking about race.

That describes the opinion of resident commenters here to a T.
That’s some food for thought. Here’s another interesting stat 41 senators represent 11 percent of the population. So because of the filibuster 11 percent can force their will on the other 89. Something to think about eh?

This is just an attempt to smear the messenger instead of the message.
The backlash to this postmodern neo-Marxist marriage came from several different sources simultaneously. Dr. Peterson in Toronto, a clinical psychologist. Dr. Weinstein at Evergreen College, an evolutionary biologist. The Grievance Studies Affair. All those events happened long before Rufo came on the scene. These events started in and around 2017 - 2018 and just built up over time to what this is. None of you were paying any attention because it hadn't come to your doorsteps yet. What happens in the university happens in the public at large about 4 - 5 years later. Dr. Peterson talked about that a lot and here it is. This isn't being blown out of proportion for political gain, this is parents recognizing that what is being taught to their children is divisive, as the Crazis well know, and it's being done for economic and political reasons.
It carries in its toolbag deception, every known fallacy, sophistry, linguistic and psychologically manipulative language and it's had time to sharpen them for decades. All in the name of compassion and justice.
Won't you accept their pretty horse as a gift of appreciation?

Rufo said himself, he did not care what CRT is or what it is not.
If that's not a con I don't know what is. It's no disrespect to him to call him a skilled con artist.
Parents need to push back hard on this issue. People are slowly waking up to what is being taught in the schools. School council members and local elected officials need to get tossed out on their ass if they don't listen to the public on this issue.
This is a solution looking for a problem because CRT is not being taught in schools, but go ahead and pass your bills banning what doesn't exist. They should ban beer in the cafeteria while they are on a mission.

No, what they’re arguing against is trying to change everything to be about race. None of the Crazis go any further than America because history is replete with BIPOC tyrants who did things just as bad if not worse than whitey. History isn’t pretty anywhere and it has been taught. What the Crazis want is a complete and utterly biased teaching of history to foment rage for a revolution.
As far as comparing things to Nazi Germany why don’t you tell us all the intellectual roots of CRT? We’ll all be waiting…
LCM or Lost Cause mythologies was the CRT that was drummed into the heads of generation after generation of American people.
Quote:
The Lost Cause of the Confederacy, or simply the Lost Cause, is an American pseudo-historical,[1][2] negationist ideology that advocates the belief that the cause of the Confederate States during the American Civil War was heroic, just, and not centered on slavery.[3] It is also known as a myth or a mythology.[4][5][6]
