Want to know why the media is in a frenzy pretending that Critical Race Theory is just some loopy law professor thing, that it’s not in elementary and secondary schools, that it’s just ginned up drama astroturf?
It’s because the opposition to CRT is the opposite of how David Brock’s Media Matters propagandists and corporate media portray it.
It’s a bubbling up of disgust over the racialization of children’s educations, of the workplace, of government. Contrary to the claims that the U.S. is systemically racist, the U.S. is systemically not racist — racial hatred is relegated to the fringes of society, so academics, teachers unions, and leftists need to invent it by setting children against each other based on skin color, by teaching children that the most important aspect of society is skin color.
They enlist has-beens whose livelihoods and careers depend on the good graces of liberal media, like S.E. Cupp, to announce that opposition to CRT is McCarthyism and hallucination.
The opposition is growing, and the media demonization is failing.
In a memo sent to members of the Republican Study Committee, its chair Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana said the “backlash against Critical Race Theory is real.” Banks framed the GOP’s opposition to the ideology “as an effort to renew American patriotism and rebuild our country.”
A just-released Harvard/Harris poll reflects what we are seeing on the ground (via Washington Examiner):
And despite liberal media efforts to dismiss the debates in school districts around the country over the teaching of critical race theory, the poll found that it too was a hot issue.“On schooling and education, another sleeper issue, 61% do not believe students should be taught that America is structurally racist and is dominated by white supremacy,” said Penn in his email.
Rather than CRT racial claptrap, a strong majority want their elementary school children taught the importance of freedom of speech:
Even the NY Times admits to the growing disconnect between (mostly) white liberal progressives and the non-whites they purport to want to help:
Can progressives win broad numbers of the Black and brown voters they say their policies will benefit most?
That provocative question is one that a lot of Democrats find themselves asking after seeing the early results from New York City’s mayoral primary this past week….
His appeal adds evidence to an emerging trend in Democratic politics: a disconnect between progressive activists and the rank-and-file Black and Latino voters who they say have the most to gain from their agenda. As liberal activists orient their policies to combat white supremacy and call for racial justice, progressives are finding that many voters of color seem to think about the issues quite a bit differently….But a growing body of evidence indicates that large numbers of Black and Latino voters may simply take a more centrist view on the very issues — race and criminal justice — that progressives assumed would rally voters of color to their side.
What scares the media and Democrats the most is that a multi-racial, multi-ethnic coalition is rising up against leftist racialization of everything. They will pull out all the dirty tricks in their playbook to try to stop it.
