“#Why America needs to ban critical race theory in schools<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

As we mark the 245th anniversary of American independence, critical race theory has emerged as the dominant subject dividing the nation. The threshold question, itself the subject of rancorous and oftentimes disingenuous debate, is what the term \u201ccritical race theory\u201d even refers to. <\/p>\n

When this semantic debate surfaces, proponents usually attempt two things at once. <\/p>\n

First, they accuse their CRT-skeptical interlocutors of being bigots, white supremacists or apologists who want to deliberately muddle and whitewash America\u2019s complex \u2014 and at times tragic \u2014 history of race relations. This involves CRT proponents grilling critics as to why they\u2019re so \u201cscared\u201d to \u201cdiscuss racism\u201d or \u201cslavery,\u201d as if that app<\/a>lied to anyone other than a truly infinitesimal and powerless fringe subset.<\/p>\n

Second, proponents work behind the scenes to advance what it is that they actually believe. Consider this forthright (and harrowing) admission from \u201cCritical Race Theory: An Introduction,\u201d a 2001 book from Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic: \u201cUnlike traditional civil rights, which embraces incrementalism and step-by-step progress, critical race theory questions the very foundations of the liberal order, including equality theory, legal reasoning, Enlightenment rationalism and neutral principles of constitutional law.\u201d<\/p>\n

Proponents, in line with the \u201canti-racism\u201d movement and vogue notions of \u201cequity,\u201d candidly advocate for discrimination \u2014 as long as it is anti-white, anti-Asian, anti-Christian or anti-Jewish. As leading CRT \u201canti-racist\u201d intellectual Ibram X. Kendi wrote in 2019\u2019s \u201cHow to Be an Antiracist\u201d: \u201cThe only remedy to racist discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

In practice, as courageous investigative journalists such as the Manhattan Institute\u2019s Chris Rufo have laid bare for all to see, CRT takes the form of crass racial indoctrination that ascribes collective and historical guilt to white Americans and accuses schools of \u201cspirit murdering\u201d black children. <\/p>\n

The two-step CRT apologia described is thus willfully dishonest. It is a bad-faith argument, pure and simple.<\/p>\n

It is, furthermore, a logical fallacy committed to advancing profoundly un-American notions of racially hierarchical guilt and innocence. As we recall the most famous exhortation in the Declaration of Independence, \u201cthat all men are created equal,\u201d we should consider just how antithetical CRT is to that most foundational American principle. That principle of real, genuine human equality, subsequently woven into our legal and social<\/a> fabric via the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, sits in an irreconcilable state of tension with the crass and overt anti-white bigotry embodied by CRT.<\/p>\n

CRT in most forms is already illegal under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, but many Republican-governed states have gone further, crafting and passing new legislation to specifically ban CRT pedagogy from corrupting impressionable youth. While every piece of legislation or regulatory rule is distinct and must be legally assessed on its own merits, these states are absolutely correct to ban CRT indoctrination against the protestations of liberal critics.<\/p>\n

Many arguing against the states\u2019 CRT bans resort to trite First Amendment appeals. \u201cYou\u2019re infringing on teachers\u2019 speech!\u201d they risibly claim. Nonsense. A public-school classroom is not a utopian \u201cmarketplace of ideas\u201d derived from an Enlightenment-era political pamphlet. On the contrary, states retain near-plenary power to craft their educational curricula. <\/p>\n

If the First Amendment-appealing crowd were intellectually consistent, they would similarly object to a state education bureaucracy banning the teaching of Holocaust denial. And if the secular leftists among this cohort were consistent, they would presumably object to a state\u2019s ban on teaching the Book of Genesis\u2019 creation story. They won\u2019t.<\/p>\n

More general<\/a>ly, any society that takes the bare minimum amount of pride required to sustain itself for its progeny must understand that instilling racially divisive poison in the minds of impressionable students is a recipe for disaster. No nation will long endure if its youngest generation is full of disdain, disgust and self-hatred. <\/p>\n

The traditional goal of education, as the Founders conceived it, was to help inculcate the sound republican habits of mind and civic virtues necessary for a flourishing polity. We have deviated far from that, but surely we can at least ban pedagogies that are often outright deceitful \u2014 such as The New York Times\u2019 much-criticized \u201c1619 Project\u201d \u2014 and are always dedicated to collective self-immolation.<\/p>\n

Banning CRT is neither coercive nor liberty-infringing. Rather, it is a prudent and necessary first step to salvaging a fractious nation teetering on the brink of collapse.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
