Critical Race Theory dangerous

May 26, 2021 by Guest Post

by John Gibney, Hamilton

I have been hearing a lot about Critical Race Theory now being forced upon our school systems. As I also understand it, Biden is giving tax money to schools and states that will promote this horrid curriculum.

If you don’t know anything about it you need to get educated on its unAmerican agenda. Our schools should NOT be teaching social or political justice but teaching Reading, Writing, Math and Science! This CRT as it is called, promotes a belief that America is fundamentally racist and that all of our institutions are designed to maintain white supremacy. It sees every human relationship in terms of race based on a power struggle and our schools, laws and business as the main source of that racial problem. It tells our young people that race and color are more important than who you are, how you behave or your values. CRT says if you are a minority group than you are a victim of a system that is rigged against you and does not want you to succeed. If you are privileged (aka white) than you are an exploiter whether you intend to be or not. It says all racism occurs in all interactions and finds racism in anything. CRT teaches it believes it can read your mind as to the fact that since your are white you are prejudice. It assumes that racism is always present and always looks for it until it is found. It also assumes that our Judges will find guilt or innocence based on race and threatens the best ideal of the American Founding Fathers. 

This CRT theory, and it is only a theory not a fact, rejects individual freedom and personal responsibility and divides people into racial groups and pits them against each other. CRT says whites are racist and blacks are oppressed. The solution that CRT gives is to over throw whites. They also want to pass laws like hate speech. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS! As much as hate speech sounds terrible it is part of our free speech. Don’t ever take away any part of free speech as it will never stop until you have NO FREE speech. Yes kids and adults many a time say something mean, but we have all had that happen and we grow up and get over it. Guess what? ALL nationalities at one time or other have been called racial names and have called others names as well.

CRT is TRASH! it should NOT and NEVER be taught in any school. It is based on a very racist agenda that teaches white children they are worthless, and black children that whites are terrible which is another form of racism. They only thing this CRT teaches is for whites and blacks to hate period. This is something we as a country need to get away from at all cost. We are all Americans and need to respect each other for who we are and not based on the color of our skin.

We need to stop this from being taught in our school. Parents who have children in school need to find out if this is going to be taught and COMPLAIN LOUDLY and have it removed.
