There is a growing interest in defending truth and reality as the irrational push for diversity, equity, and inclusion intensifies in public. One such instance occurred during a father of three children’s incredibly moving address before the school board.
This father gave one of the best responses to toxic race grifting I have ever seen, criticizing the school board in particular and the entire practice of CRT in general. He said that children are only oppressed by three things: their ignorance, their sloth, and their bad decisions. As a parent, I’ll borrow it. Boom
Look at what follows:
I am the direct descendant of the North American slave trade. Both of my parents are black, all four of my grandparents are black, all eight of my great great grandparents all 16 of my great greats. On my mother’s side, my ancestors were enslaved in Alabama. On my father’s side, we were enslaved in Texas.
I am not oppressed. I’m not oppressed, and I’m not a victim. I’m neither a press nor a victim. I travel all across this country of ours. And I check into hotels and I fly commercially. And I walk into retail establishments, and I order food and restaurants. I go wherever I want, whenever I want. I am treated with kindness, dignity, and respect, literally from coast to coast. I have three children. They are not oppressed either.
Although they are victims, I’ve taught my children, they’re victims of three things, their own ignorance, their own laziness and their own poor decision making. That is all my children. We are not victims of America, we are not victims of some unseen 190 year old force that kind of floats around in the ether.
Putting critical race theory into our classrooms is taking our nation in the wrong direction. racism in America would by and large, be dead today, if it were not for certain people and institutions keeping it on life support. And sadly, sadly, very sadly, one of those institutions is the American education system.
I can think of nothing more damaging to a society than to tell a baby born today that she has grievances against another baby born today, simply because of what their ancestors may have done two centuries ago. There is simply no point in doing that to our children. And putting critical race theory into our classrooms, in part does that putting critical race theory into our classrooms is not combating racism.
It’s fanning the flames of what little embers are left. I encourage you to support this resolution. Let racism die the death it deserves.
The country needs more fathers like him to stand up for their children. There is already too much division politically and it’s the politicians that are determined to keep us divided. CRT, like the father said earlier, is fanning the embers of racism. It is crucial that we abolish CRT and stop erasing American history. Otherwise, we will be doomed to repeat it.
