Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It - Imprimis
Critical Race Theory: What It Is and How to Fight It - Imprimis
"Critical race theory is fast becoming America’s new institutional orthodoxy.
Yet most Americans have never heard of it—and of those who have, many don’t understand it.
It’s time for this to change.
- We need to know what it is so we can know how to fight it.
In explaining critical race theory, it helps to begin with a brief history of Marxism.
...WHAT IT IS
Critical race theory is an academic discipline, formulated in the 1990s, built on the intellectual framework of identity-based Marxism.
...There are a series of euphemisms deployed by its supporters to describe critical race theory, including “equity,” “social justice,” “diversity and inclusion,” and “culturally responsive teaching.”
Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that “neo-Marxism” would be a hard sell.
Equity, on the other hand, sounds non-threatening and is easily confused with the American principle of equality.
But the distinction is vast and important...Read all!!

Education Department Proposal Would Flood Public Schools With Woke Curricula - Washington Free Beacon
Education Department Proposal Would Flood Public Schools With Woke Curricula - Washington Free Beacon: 
- If approved, rule would funnel federal money to "antiracist" groups
"The Biden administration this week proposed a rule that would encourage public schools to adopt radical, racially driven curricula in American history and civics classes.
The Department of Education on Monday proposed a rule that would prioritize federal funding for education groups that help schools develop and implement antiracist teaching standards.
If the rule takes effect, the Office of Elementary and Secondary Education would increase grants to woke groups across the country.
School districts in recent months have increased their efforts to weave critical race theory—the idea that America's political and economic systems are inherently racist—into K-12 curriculum standards.
The Education Department's proposal signals the Biden administration's support for this trend...Read all.
The end of a great city-----I’ve lived in Minneapolis my entire life. I’m leaving Friday. I no longer recognize my hometown.
- From comments:"Minneapolis is rapidly turning into Baltimore. The most pathetic thing was the dinner theater canceling a production of Cinderella because it was “too white”."
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. — Minneapolis is my home. My happiest memories are here. It’s where I learned to ride a bike, had my first date, received my high school diploma.
But today, I’m too afraid to even walk in my neighborhood by myself.
- The ACE Hardware down the street? The one that I used to bike to in the summer? Robbed twice in the past five days.
- The Walgreens next to my elementary school? Molotov cocktail thrown into it.
- The Lake Harriet Bandshell, where we spent countless Mother’s Days? Homeless encampment popped up next door.
- Ten minutes from my house, at 38th and Chicago, there is still an autonomous zone. Police are not allowed to enter. Residents have died because medical authorities couldn’t get through, and carjackers (of which there are MANY) will speed into the zone to escape officer pursuit.
- My favorite dinner theater canceled its production of Cinderella because it was “too white.”...Read all.

“We have not one witness, not one person that saw anything yet. So we’re trying to solve it on our own right now. I’m going to be polite — it’s more than frustrating.”

Yesterday, CBS News decided that it’s in the public’s interest to know where one of the jurors lives:
And now, because this is apparently some sort of deranged contest, the Minneapolis Star Tribune is posting detailed bios (including jobs and domestic situations, but not names because they have to draw the line somewhere) of the trial jurors...Read all!

Michigan Health Department Proposes ‘Gender Expression’ Mandates For Child Care
- Child’s ‘expressed gender’ would have to be given consideration for sleeping and clothing
"The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services has just released proposed rules that would require “child caring institutions” to “consider a youth’s gender identity when determining a sleeping arrangement.”
This includes facilities organized for “receiving minor children for care, maintenance, and supervision, usually on a 24-hour basis.”
...“Gender identity” is defined as “an individual’s self-conception as being male, female, both, or neither.”
Child care institutions must also “provide access to clothing that is consistent with the youth’s gender expression.”...Read all.
