Free Republic

As I have written before, Critical Race Theory has become the central doctrine in the Democrats’ push to fundamentally transform the United States from a constitutional republic dedicated to protected the rights and liberties of Americans into a despotic fascist state where the government uses its coercive powers to distribute benefits and privileges among officially favored and disfavored social groups. The far left disguises this toxic doctrine as an outgrowth of the civil rights movement by using words such as “equity” (i.e. equality of outcomes rather instead of equality before the law and equality of opportunity) and “diversity and inclusiveness”...

Joe Biden revoked a Trump administration order that had banned federal agencies, contractors and recipients of federal funding from conducting certain diversity training. The order had targeted workplace training that explored systemic racism and privilege, including 'critical race theory,' which former President Donald Trump had deemed 'un-American' and potentially harmful to white workers. The Trump administration had said the order prohibited training that implies anyone is racist or sexist 'by virtue of his or her race, sex, and/or national origin.'

A Kentucky mayor has come under fire for a proposal that would see funds being taken from an emergency rental assistance program and instead be used to provide city employees with diversity training. The Mayor of Lexington, Linda Gorton, is proposing to use the funds that had been earmarked for people suffering financial hardship during the pandemic and instead redirect them towards Critical Race Theory training. 'Lexington's woke mayor is taking funds for poor people and using them to pay a rich white woman so she can teach city employees how to become woke... this is progressivism in the 21st...

Of all the ways identity politics is used as a tool to sow hatred among people where there should be the potential for friendship, “critical race theory” is one of the gravest offenders..Indeed, the tactics used by proponents of critical race theory share many parallels with old tactics used by the Bolsheviks. As such, federal employees and those who work for corporations that do business with the federal government sucked into the poisonous vortex of critical race theory can thank President Trump for ordering a stop to the promulgation of critical race theory. Thanks should also be sent to scholar...

To many Americans, the rise of the “woke” must seem like a frighteningly realistic remake of the classic science fiction movie “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” It does not take much exposure to leftist college activists and their like-minded sympathizers to feel like a significant percentage of the population has come under the spell of a ruthless alien ideology.The forced resignation of The New York Times’s editorial page editor James Bennet by staffers who objected to his publication of a conservative op-ed, the push by Princeton University professors to create a committee to oversee “racist behaviors, incidents, research, and...

Public schools and other educational institutions throughout the nation are pushing critical race theory on unsuspecting students. Critical race theory is the claim that American institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. It argues that white people have put up social, economic, and legal barriers between the races in order to maintain their elite status, both economically and politically. In fact, the source of poverty and criminal behavior in minority communities is due exclusively to these barriers. he “Denial of White Privilege” is covert white supremacy. And “Make America Great Again” and “Calling the cops on black people” is also...

Public schools and other educational institutions throughout the nation are pushing critical race theory on unsuspecting students. Critical race theory is the claim that American institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. It argues that white people have put up social, economic, and legal barriers between the races in order to maintain their elite status, both economically and politically. In fact, the source of poverty and criminal behavior in minority communities is due exclusively to these barriers. Already mainstream on college campuses, most of those protesting George Floyd’s death have been taught that every power structure, including the free market,...

CNN President Jeff Zucker should resign from his job if he believes in critical race theory and its arguments about white privilege, Fox News host Tucker Carlson argued Tuesday. The "Tucker Carlson Tonight" host devoted the opening segment of his program to the reaction that followed President Trump's announcement last week halting critical race theory training for federal employees. "White privilege is very real, they're telling you. It is time for a 'reckoning on race relations,'" Carlson said during his monologue. "You hear that all the time, but at some point, you've got to wonder why any of these people,...

Democrats have made implicit promises to the radicals whose active support they need that they will back aggressive compulsory brainwashing sessions demonizing Caucasians and the American founding as fundamentally and inherently racist. A memorandum from OMB director Russell  Vought 3 days ago began the pushback and laid a trap for them: The President has directed me to ensure that Federal agencies cease and desist from using taxpayer dollars to fund these divisive, un-American propaganda training sessions. Accordingly, to that end, the Office of Management and Budget will shortly issue more detailed guidance on implementing the President's directive. In the...

You might not know why Trayvon Martin’s friend seemed hostile and dim and ill-mannered when she was testifying at the George Zimmerman trial last week. But your child does. Especially if he or she attends school in one of the hundreds of districts around the country that use Critical Race Theory to teach their students about black and white people in America. Critical Race Theory made the headlines last year during the presidential election. The investigators at Breitbart.com came up with a videotape showing then-law student Barack Obama giving a warm introduction to the godfather of Critical Race, Derrick Bell....
