“We are asking a demented, violent predator who thinks that they are a saint or a superhero to accept responsibility,” she said. She told the online audience that discussing race with white people is useless. Aruna Khilanani, a shrink who in April addressed the impressionable minds at the Yale School of Medicine’s Child Study Center. True, there can be instances where the woke academia-intelligencia industrial complex can be insufferable, as evidenced by Dr. But you can never underestimate the desire of those in political circles to attack a problem that doesn’t exist, especially if it will buy them support - or at least get the mob to look the other way. They voted 11-2 to say schools ought not teach kids that anyone is “inherently racist, sexist or oppressive,” is responsible for past acts by folks who looked like them, and that no one “should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or any other form of psychological distress on account of his or her race or sex.”Īs it turns out, it doesn’t seem like there was any overt effort by many school districts (or even any) to go all CRT. This month, the state school board fended off the looming threat of critical race theory. To them, the program was nothing but a Trojan horse to sneak in racial scapegoating and resentment. The school district tried to push back, saying it was simply hiring an administrator to oversee “social and emotion learning” and “diversity, equity and inclusion.”Ĭherokee’s school superintendent, Brian Hightower, told a crowd in a meeting that students needed “social and emotional learning” because of increasing rates of depression and suicide. Next thing you know, the kids won’t just be carrying their books home from school, they’ll also be lugging their newly created white guilt. The specter of critical race theory landed hard last month in Cherokee County, where a roomful of angry (mostly white) folks came to express their abject horror at their kids being indoctrinated with this “extreme and dangerous ideology.” Their fear is that teachers will be heaping psychological baggage on their young charges, painting white people as exploiters, colonizers and all around meanies. Governor Shotgun, who is better than me at gauging this emotion, last month jumped into the newest cause and urged the state’s Board of Education to take “immediate steps to ensure that critical race theory and its dangerous ideology do not take root in our state standards and curriculum.” (Credit: Ben Gray for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Tripodo was upset that the language in the resolution was ambiguous. A lot of what people think is activism is mostly clout chasing to clime their respective social dominance hierarchies.Ron Tripodo, center, yells at the Cherokee County School Board in Canton on May 20, 2021, after they passed a resolution to ban teaching critical race theory and then adjourned the meeting. It's clear she has no idea what she's talking about, she's another one of these performative fake activists that unfortunately proliferate progressive circles, and are the equivalents of crocodile tear pundits like Tucker Carlson and others on the far right. I think this person is an example of a far left sort of person, who takes words like "critical race theory", "racism", "misogyny", "white supremacy", and uses them like buzzwords to get a reaction. You end up ignoring social and economic class for instance, which then marginalizes poor white people by lumping them into the same category as the few hyper successful white men at the top. The problem with far left activists is that they use critical race theory incorrectly by using it as their only lens, thus reducing a complex and nuanced world down to race. People can climb out and become successful, but it's a hell of a lot harder than someone born in the suburbs (white or black). The policy of denying loans to black folks is gone, but all of the challenges that come with a generation of poverty and unequal laws still exist. So for instance, the historical denial of lending money to black people resulted in the inability for black communities to generate wealth that could be passed on to later generations, so you end up with self-perpetuating poor neighborhoods. One of the main ideas behind critical race theory is that people are not necessarily personally racist, but systems and structures created in the past that were built on racist notions may still perpetuate the effects of racist policies.
