How the Radical Left Teaches Racism to Kids

A first grader is separated from her white classmates and told to sit on a colored mat. A high school student is forced to apologize for being born. A teacher explains that math is racist because correct answers perpetuate white supremacy. This is not satire. This is the radical left's curriculum for America's children.In this episode, I examine the rise of critical race theory in K-12 education. The theory was once confined to graduate seminars. Today, it appears in teacher training modules, classroom lesson plans, and school district diversity statements. Proponents argue they are teaching children to recognize systemic injustice. Critics argue they are teaching children to see race before they see character. The evidence for harm is mounting. Schools that adopted CRT curricula saw increases in racial tension and decreases in academic performance across all groups. Students reported feeling anxious about saying the wrong thing. White students reported guilt about their identity. Black students reported feeling patronized by lessons that reduced them to victims.The episode does not argue that racism does not exist. It argues that the cure being administered to children is worse than the disease. A curriculum that divides children by race on the first day of school is not anti-racist. It is racist. And it is happening in your neighborhood right now. Turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and press play because the children being taught to see race above all else will grow up to be adults who can see nothing else.
