The media is doubling-down on the narrative that "critical race theory isn't in K-12 schools." So I'm going to put together a thread debunking this claim and showing you exactly what's happening in classrooms across the country.

Buckle up. 🧵
First, the founder of critical race theory, Kimberlé Crenshaw, recently admitted that critical race theory "originated in law schools," but then migrated to the K-12 education system—which, she says, is "a good thing." ImageImage
Here's another critical race theory co-founder, Richard Delgado, boasting that CRT has colonized education. He said the theory is "livelier in education right now than it is in law"—and this was ten years ago.

This doesn't emerge from nothing: the critical race theorists have spent decades writing books about applying the principles of CRT to K-12 education.

Here is a small sampling of the academic literature: Image
What does critical race theory actually look like in the classroom? I spent the first part of this year doing a twelve-part series on CRT in America's K-12 schools.

Let's go through these stories one-by-one.👇
Seattle Public Schools tells teachers that the education system is guilty of "spirit murder" against black children and that white teachers must "bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance." christopherrufo.com/seattle-teachi…
San Diego Public Schools accuses white teachers of being colonizers on stolen Native American land and tells them “you are racist” and “you are upholding racist ideas, structures, and policies.” They recommend that the teachers undergo “antiracist therapy.”christopherrufo.com/the-whitest-pr…
A Cupertino, California, elementary school forces third-graders to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities, then rank themselves according to their “power and privilege.” They separate the eight-year-old children into oppressors and oppressed. christopherrufo.com/woke-elementar…
A middle school in Springfield, Missouri, forces teachers to locate themselves on an “oppression matrix,” claiming that white heterosexual Protestant males are inherently oppressors and must atone for their “covert white supremacy.” christopherrufo.com/antiracism-com…
A Philadelphia elementary school forces fifth-graders to celebrate “Black communism” and simulate a Black Power rally to “free Angela Davis” from prison. At this school, 87 percent of students will fail to achieve basic literacy by graduation. christopherrufo.com/bad-education/
Buffalo Public Schools teaches students that “all white people” perpetuate systemic racism and forces kindergarteners to watch a video of dead black children warning them about “racist police and state-sanctioned violence” who might kill them at any time. christopherrufo.com/failure-factor…
The Arizona Department of Education created an “equity” toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children become full racists—“strongly biased in favor of whiteness”—by age five. christopherrufo.com/racism-in-the-…
The California Department of Education passed an “ethnic studies” curriculum that calls for the “decolonization” of American society and has students chant to the Aztec god of human sacrifice. The solution, according to one author, is “countergenocide.” christopherrufo.com/revenge-of-the…
North Carolina’s largest school district launches a campaign against “whiteness in educational spaces”—and encourages teachers to subvert families and push the ideology of “antiracism” directly onto students without parental consent. christopherrufo.com/subversive-edu…
Santa Clara County Office of Education denounces the United States as a “parasitic system” based on the “invasion” of “white male settlers” and encourages teachers to “cash in on kids’ inherent empathy” in order to recruit them into political activism. christopherrufo.com/merchants-of-r…
And this is only the beginning. 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. ImageImageImageImage

Sad news, but a good reminder that conservatives need to do more than put Machiavelli in their Great Books programs; they actually need to take Machiavelli's ideas seriously and understand that power is required to preserve republican liberties and virtues.
The "DEI administrator wiping out the leadership of a conservative books program at a university in Oklahoma" story is almost too on-the-nose as a didactic story, but it's a reminder that DEI will cannibalize liberal arts education, unless defenders of that education abolish DEI. Image
For years, Frey condescended to those who made the argument for political reform, believing that if you are a "nice conservative," the Left will leave you alone. It's like the old line, "you might not be interested in political power, but political power is interested in you." Image

EXCLUSIVE: According to a whistleblower, @LockheedMartin awarded employee bonuses “on the basis of their skin color alone and contrary to documented performance." In one case, the company forced managers to remove 18 whites from the bonus list and replace them with 18 "POC."

🧵
The story begins in December 2022, when executives told the whistleblower that his recommended bonus list had too many white employees on it. A senior executive, now in charge of F-35 engineering, told the whistleblower that his selections needed to "fit in the box." Image
Immediately afterwards, a human resources manager was more explicit, demanding that the team remove whites from the list and replace them with minorities, admitting that "increasing POC for Comp Adder will result in removing equal count of non-minority." Image

EXCLUSIVE: @RK_Thorpe and I have obtained internal documents from Harvard revealing that the university deliberately penalizes white men in hiring and would virtually eliminate supposed "oppressor" groups from certain occupations.

Inside Harvard's discrimination machine. 🧵
This is one of Harvard's affirmative action plans, which sets aggressive racial targets, including increasing the number of minorities in certain occupations by nearly 500% and reducing the number of white men across dozens of occupations—which, @MorenoffDan says, is illegal. Image
Image
Faculty hiring is also engineered to filter out white men. Harvard's official guidebook instructs departments to favor "women and minorities" at each step in the process, telling officials to monitor applicants by race and to move white men to the back of the reading pile. Image

EXCLUSIVE: Columbia professor Jennifer Manly marched with pro-Hamas encampment leaders and, according to public records, has been a recipient of $100 million in taxpayer funding for CRT-style research, which claims that racism causes Alzheimer's in black people.

🧵
This is Columbia University in April 2024. Jennifer Manly marched with pro-Hamas protestors and stood in a human blockade intending to prevent administrators from dismantling the unauthorized encampments, which shut down classes and was the base for illegal building occupations. Image
Image
Image
Image
But the real scandal is that Manly has been a recipient of more than $100 million in taxpayer funds for so-called "social determinants of health" research, which posits that racism, sexism, and homophobia cause brain disease in minorities—which critics call pseudoscience. Image

EXCLUSIVE: @GrossmanHannah and I have obtained logs from the NSA’s secret transgender sex chatroom, in which NSA, CIA, and DIA employees discuss genital castration, artificial vaginas, piss fetishes, sex polycules, and gangbangs—all on government time.

This is insane. 🧵
The NSA maintains a chat system for the "intelligence community" called Intelink. The servers are supposed to be used for government work, but gender activists have hijacked at least two channels—LBTQA and IC_Pride_TWG—to discuss fetishes, kink, and sex, all legitimized as "DEI." Image
One popular chat topic was male-to-female transgender surgery, which involves surgically removing the penis and turning it into an artificial vagina. These male intelligence agents love the feeling of penetration and of peeing with their pseudo-vaginas. Image

The Right must be more selective in the people it welcomes into the firmament. Conservatives have been locked out of elite institutions for so long, many will accept any celebrity that signals opposition to the Left—even a common pimp with a social media following. Image
There is a real danger that the Right becomes a dumping ground where failed celebrities land. While we should welcome high-quality defectors, we must have enough self-confidence to draw boundaries and reject those who simply want to farm the Right for clicks and power.
Two things happening here:

1. The Right's organic institutions have difficulty producing viable elites.

2. The Right's media figures feel pressure to chase the algorithm and a) turn themselves into Catturd-style slop; b) engage with human bait such as Andrew Tate for virality.
