If you want to understand how postmodern Critical Theory can impact children, consider this text, "Critical Race Theory in Teacher Education" tcpress.com/critical-race-…

We will take a brief tour into the Sixth sense...yes that one with Bruce Willis
Remember the famous scene, "I see Dead People." Here it is.


What we actually see here is power. The powerful Bruce Willis is gaslighting a kid who sees dead people. How is this like whiteness? The book tells us:
Like Dead People, Critical Race Theorsts know they "see whiteness." Wokeness, is in essence, a sixth sense.
Critical Theorsts see the world in a very different way. As I've said many times, it is a fundamental lens, in the same way religious fundamentalists see God's will or love in everything around them. Like a psychologist who holds power over a child, "we" refuse to see whiteness
Have you heard teachers say they love giving back, helping the next generation, they want to help kids, even that they love kids?

Critical Theory, through its critical lens, tells us that this is not really true. And, of course, pedophiles.
In fact, these sentimental statements are "White emotionalities" and they perpetuate Whiteness and White Supremacy
Like the psychologist skeptical of a kid seeing dead people, teachers do not have authority in Critical Theory because they lack the credentials and lived experiences of students they help. Also, to jump topics mid-paragraph, white people hide racism by making up black friends.
A teacher's desire to help children of color, in fact, is an unexamined narcisstic privilege. They must be concious of the "Racial contract" and their position in the "Racial hierarchy."
As an illustration of all of this, a white man who wants to diversify teaching, even if he uses the "correct terminologies" can never truly get what diversity means and why we need it. I think he gets +2 for effort, -3 for being white. You can never be woke enough.
Like many religious rituals that didn't go well, this man did not mention his complicity in Whiteness, and he displayed his White Fragility at one point when he reacted to something
As with dead people, it is important to have the ovaries (?) to "see whiteness," otherwise you be responsible for the White Supremacist education system.
Like the realization of a physical and metaphysical death in the Sixth Sense, Whiteness requires a metaphysical death and a spiritual awakening. To reconcile the sixth sense of Whiteness.
This is extremely valuable, e.g., @RealPeerReview @ConceptualJames
@RealPeerReview @ConceptualJames Remember, this is what Social Justice is. It's not synonymous with compassion and anti-racism. It's a sixth sense approach to navigating the world they constructed, one that has and always will be racist, sexist, and perpetuate Whiteness. To engage in Justice is to acknowledge it
