SCOOP: At least 25 public school districts in 12 states are now teaching "Not My Idea," a book that claims "whiteness" is the devil, luring children with the promise of "stolen land [and] stolen riches."

Critical race theory is driving public education—and must be stopped.
Here is the full list of public school districts that are teaching "Not My Idea," which traffics in the noxious principles of race essentialism, collective guilt, and anti-whiteness.

P.S. The idea that "whiteness" is a form of "stolen land and riches" derives from one of critical race theory's founding texts, "Whiteness As Property," authored by Cheryl Harris in 1993.

They've directly adapted CRT for elementary schools.

UPDATE: We have received more whistleblower contacts and are now up to 30 public school districts in 15 states teaching that "whiteness" is a pact with the devil.

Last week in the NYT, four "heterodox" writers claimed that anti-CRT legislation is an "un-American" threat to democracy.

But despite their superficial differences, these writers serve a single function: ushering in the worst ideologies of the Left.
nypost.com/2021/07/09/dis…
Their article was predicated on an absolute falsehood, claiming that Tennessee had banned any material that "could lead" to distress, while the bill actually bans teaching students directly that they "should feel" guilt or shame because of their race. ImageImage
The writers presented themselves as "heterodox" truth-tellers, but after their article caught flak on social media, they silently had their entire headline scrubbed.

Not strong enough to defend their argument; not wise enough to defend children from state-sanctioned racism. ImageImage

SCOOP: Raytheon, the nation's second-largest defense contractor, has launched a critical race theory program that encourages white employees to confront their "privilege," reject the principle of "equality," and "defund the police."

Let's review the internal documents.🧵
Last summer, Raytheon CEO Greg Hayes launched the Stronger Together campaign instructing employees on "becoming an anti-racist today." He signed a corporate diversity statement and then asked all Raytheon employees to sign the pledge and "check [their] own biases."
The program is centered on “intersectionality,” a core component of critical race theory that divides the world into competing identity groups, with race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and other categories defining an individual’s place within the hierarchy of oppression.

BREAKING: The nation's largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts.

The argument that "critical race theory isn't in K-12 schools" is officially dead.
The union has also approved funding for "increasing the implementation" of CRT in K-12 curricula and for attacking conservative groups who oppose CRT indoctrination.

The teachers union has made critical race theory its #1 priority—and want to implement it nationwide.
According to a recent YouGov survey, 58 percent of Americans oppose critical race theory, including 72 percent of independents who believe teaching it in schools is "bad for America."

But the teachers union wants to double-down and impose this divisive ideology on your children.

NEWS: Our legal partner @kimmiehermann has filed a lawsuit to stop critical race theory indoctrination in the Evanston/Skokie School District, which segregated teachers by race, compared "whiteness" to the devil, and claimed "to be less white is to be less oppressive."

Thread🧵
Last year, the Evanston/Skokie School District began forcing teachers to commit to "antiracism" and separating them into racially-segregating "affinity groups." Superintendent Devon Horton told teachers: "If you're not anti-racist, we can't have you in front of our students."
The district told teachers they must investigate their "whiteness," accept that white individuals are "loud" and "controlling," acknowledge that "white identity is inherently racist," and believe that "to be less white is to be less racially oppressive."

Joy Reid turned the gaslight up to 100 tonight.

She claimed that critical race theory isn't taught in schools and that intersectionality, critical whiteness studies, ethnic studies, and critical pedagogy have nothing to do with CRT.

Let's deconstruct her language games.🧵
1. Reid claimed that critical race theory isn't taught in schools. This is a supreme gaslight. I've personally documented more than a dozen school districts that teach the principles of critical race theory, from "intersectionality" to "spirit murder."
city-journal.org/christopher-ru….
2. Reid claimed that intersectionality is not related to critical race theory. That would be a surprise to Kimberlé Crenshaw, who coined the term "critical race theory" and invented the concept of "intersectionality."

It all makes sense now: the Washington Post published a 3,000-word fake hitpiece against me because they really want to defend race essentialism and "White racial identity."

I'm fighting against race supremacy; the Washington Post wants to install it everywhere. Image
The game is that they want to create an essentialized racial category ("whiteness"), load it with negative connotations, then impose it on individuals through guilt, shame, and school indoctrination.

This approach is reductive, manipulative, and malicious. Don't fall for it.
The way out of this Kafka trap is to reject the framework of race essentialism, refuse to allow your enemies to impose a hostile identity onto you, and define yourself as an individual with a specific heritage that is meaningful to you.
