Now NBC <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">News<\/a> claims it can prove it.<\/p>\n<p>In a long\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/schools-facing-critical-race-theory-battles-are-diversifying-rapidly-analysis-n1278834\">story<\/a>\u00a0featuring analysis of demographic data, NBC News reporter Tyler Kingkade and data editor Nigel Chiwaya claim that the parent uprisings against critical race theory, which have occurred in more than 200 school districts across the country, are a \u201cbacklash\u201d against \u201crapid demographic change\u201d and \u201cthe exposure of white students to students of color.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Or, to put it bluntly, it\u2019s the ugly reaction of white racism in the face of rapidly integrating schools. As left-leaning Slate\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2021\/09\/critical-race-theory-nbc-news-school-districts-diversity-data.html\">concluded<\/a>, NBC\u2019s reporting proves that fear of \u201cwhite replacement\u201d and the desire to \u201cprotect whiteness\u201d motivate the anti-critical-race-theory movement.<\/p>\n<p>Only one problem: NBC\u2019s analysis is nonsense. The report fails both statistically and imaginatively.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News builds its narrative on the claim that \u201cmany of the school districts facing backlash over equity initiatives are diversifying faster than the national average.\u201d The report provides data for 33 school districts. Yet a third of these districts have diversified slower, rather than faster, than the national average, and, according to NBC News\u2019 own reporting, there have been anti-critical-race-theory protests in at least 220 school districts nationwide, which means that NBC failed to analyze 85 percent of the evidence.<\/p>\n<p>But the NBC report, like almost all mainstream media coverage, fails an even greater imaginative test: These publications cannot imagine a world outside the framing of the 1960s civil-rights era, comparing opposition to critical race theory with racial segregation, Jim Crow and the Ku Klux Klan. NBC suggests darkly that these communities \u201chave long segregated their schools\u201d to exclude blacks, while the\u00a0Slate\u00a0piece makes a more explicit comparison between parent protesters and \u201cLouisiana\u2019s White League,\u201d \u201cracist mass shooters\u201d and the \u201cCapitol insurrectionists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The truth? Parents in Loudoun and Fairfax counties in Virginia aren\u2019t old-line racists and segregationists but educated, affluent and diverse citizens in the elite suburbs surrounding Washington, DC. Contrary to the narrative about white families lashing out against an influx of black students, Loudoun County has roughly the same proportion of blacks as it did 20 years ago; the highest rate of population growth has been among Asians and Latinos, who, according to a recent\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rasmussenreports.com\/public_content\/politics\/current_events\/racism\/gop_voters_suspect_critical_race_theory_will_make_u_s_race_relations_worse\">Rasmussen poll<\/a>, oppose critical race theory by a two-to-one margin \u2014 the same as white voters.<\/p>\n<p>In nearby Fairfax County, the leader of the parent opposition is an Indian-American woman, Asra Nomani, who has\u00a0blasted\u00a0critical race theory for reducing academic standards and discriminating against high-performing Asians.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News\u2019 misleading report is part of a broader campaign to confuse the public. As parent protests began to make headlines, left-leaning media initially claimed that CRT was an obscure theory found only in law schools. But parents saw the overwhelming amount of\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/christopher-rufo-on-woke-education\">reporting<\/a>\u00a0about critical race theory in their schools and watched as powerful organizations, including a national teachers union and the US Conference of Mayors, explicitly endorsed it in public education. When these and other attempts at denial and deflection failed, left-leaning activists and journalists fell back on an old saw: decrying opponents as racists.<\/p>\n<p>This gambit will not work either. Most parents have an instinctual feel for the danger that such divisive ideologies pose. Polling data going back nine months marks a clear progression: The more Americans hear about critical race theory, the likelier they are to oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>The racial dynamics, too, scramble the lazy narrative about \u201cwhite backlash.\u201d New data from the\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.manhattan-institute.org\/metropolitan-majority-poll-costs-crime-classrooms\">Manhattan Institute and Echelon Insights<\/a> show that a strong majority of black and Hispanic parents oppose critical race theory and support removing \u201cconcepts such as white privilege and systemic racism\u201d from the curriculum.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, opposition to critical race theory isn\u2019t strictly a conservative or Republican issue. For example, Loudoun and Fairfax counties, which NBC News painted as bastions of backward-looking conservatism, are in fact quite liberal. Yet according to a Public Opinion Strategies\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.scribd.com\/document\/511374210\/Public-Opinion-Strategies-Fairfax-and-Loudoun-Counties-Poll\">poll<\/a>, they oppose critical race theory in schools by an eight-point margin, and 59 percent of public-school parents view the theory negatively.<\/p>\n<p>Americans have moved past the 1960s.\u00a0It\u2019s past time for the media to take note.<\/p>\n<p><em>Adapted from<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.city-journal.org\/parents-critical-race-theory-is-divisive-and-dangerous\"> City Journal.<\/a><\/em>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
