Public opinion in America is decidedly opposed to critical race theory. Yet the nation's largest teachers union is advancing the ideology, threatening to turn schools into hotbeds of activism, as opposed to centers of learning.
Riding on a wave of the "fiery but mostly
peaceful protests" that accompanied the death of George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer, students in the US public school system are about to receive a noxious dose of what critics call "state-sanctioned racism" mixed into their regular curriculum.
This week, the National Education Association (NEA), which represents some three million public-school employees, voted to push Critical Race Theory (CRT), which teaches that America is plagued by "systemic racism" and that white people enjoy advantages in life due to their inborn "privilege," in 14,000 local school districts across all 50 states. The move has enraged Americans on both sides of the political aisle, who say the race-based ideology, grounded in Cultural Marxism, has no place in the classroom or the country.
