I did an entire thread on this, but Mr. Veggie Tales is wrong.
The article he links to sanitizes the commitments of CRT in ways which are, I think, misleading.

I will link the thread in the next tweet.
2/
 The article whitewashes the use of postmodernism, and the actual beliefs of CRT scholars.
I outline the beliefs of CRT scholars using their own words here:

3/
 CRT also makes very heavy use of postmodernism. I talk about that a little bit here:

4/
 When, and not if, but when the postmodernism takes over the thing that goes is the doctrine.

One day I'll do a thread on how Brian McLaren and a lot of the others played fast and loose with the truth to make headway in Christian circles, until I have time to do that...
5/
 If you want to have a "high view of the Bible" get rid of CRT and postmodernism. If you don't, by the time those 2 things are done your churches will teach that the Nicene creed and Westminster confessions are evil tools of patriarchal oppression.

Mini Thread:

Every time I think there is no more postmodernism in Christianity, I find more postmodernism in Christianity.

We start out with acknowledging a shift in how "truth" is thought about.

Which, I mean, yeah just read some Stanley Grenz and you can see it coming. It is called *taps mic*

 Pic 1: We are sinful and as such we are epistemicly flawed

Pic 2: Because we are flawed and imperfect we must adopt the philosophy of Richard Rorty: "The truth is out there but we can't get it."

Although she hedges slightly with "every time."

Let me preface this with saying I think Gay marriage should be legal.

Beth Moore is the Joel Osteen of Social Justice.

On the one hand she talks about conviction, on the other hand she stealth edited a book to take back her views on sexuality...
Lots of people who are not woke such as myself, @SpencerKlavan @RubinReport and @ConceptualJames have no problem with legal gay marriage or gay people (@RubinReport is gay married).

My problem isnt with conservstives like @MattWalshBlog who disagree. My problem is with those...
Who play both sides and change their public stance to fit the fashion of the day.

@BethMooreLPM is a weathervane. When gay marriage wasn't popular she was trying to "free people from homosexuality" now it is popluar so she deletes that passage from her book.

Hypocrisy.

 The postmodernism of the Emergent Church is back. People like @kkdumez are leading the charge, and not being forthcoming about it. Ive done a thread on this before, it may be time for another thread soon.

But for now, look at the the Author @kkdumez is praising here:
2/
 That author is Brian Mclaren, who was the most popular figure in the emergent church. He agreed with and spread postmodernism and postmodern thinkers and books. Here, he wrote the forward to a book called "What Would Jesus Deconstruct"
3/
 If you doubt it's postmodernism:

Pic 1 is a description of "What Would Jesus Deconstruct", which says the book is postmodernism top to bottom.

Pic 2 is Brian Mclaren's book "Church on the other side: Ministry in the Postmodern Matrix," which is even more postmodernism.

I have loaded the vibe trebuchet and launched into the world a large number of bublasuars, Ivysaurs, and Venusaurs. The reason for this is not clear to me. Although I do have reasons for having done so...
Sometimes our artistic nature allows us to intuit what is coming prior to the even showing up. It is sometimes the case that there is something inside us, something deep, that only comes out by way of expression and art.

It is not always symbolic.
So the bulbasaurs are not symbolic of some ideas, they are something I felt the need to express, so I did. As odd as it sounds, like a sad person plays a song, or a happy person does a dance, I am contemplating the current social and political milieu so I tweeted bulbasaurs.

Check out this linguistic sleight of hand:
Kendi interchanges "equal" and "equitable" in his tweet. By associating "equity" with "equality" (similar words, different meanings) and using "equality" to try and justify "equity" he creates the illusion people are against *equality*
This is of course dishonest. Equity and equality are two different things.

Equality means treating people the same regardless of their race or gender.

Equity means treating people differently to make up for past injustices.
Equality says treat people fairly according to the merits regardless of race or gender

Equity says tilt the playing field toward (for example) women because of injustice that occured previously.

Kendi goes back and fourth between these terms to blur this distinction.

This is postcolonial theory for southern white people. This is literally the exact logic that Franz Fanon uses in black skin white masks to explain the plight of African Americans after the end of slavery...
Replace the word *conquer* with the word *enslave* and this is something Franz Fanon could have written:
"On the cultural front, how much of that caving is due to being an *enslaved* people conditioned into accepting imposed guilt and living with the memory of the *enslaving*?"
The *reasoning* here is bad. The *reasoning* is the problem.

Arguing that society conditioned southerners to fold by invoking the memory of losing the civil war is pretty much arguing that the south suffers from "internalized oppression."
