Academic Activists Want Critical Race Theory Taught to Children in Kindergarten
“Any individual or group trying to claim babies can be ‘racist’ has ceded any pretense to be taken seriously.”
The academic left has not given up on any of this. If anything, they’re doubling their efforts.
The Daily Wire reports:
Academics Call For Critical Race Theory To Be Taught In Kindergarten, Warn Of Racist 3 Year Olds
Academics and activists teamed up to create a guide to teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT) to young children, arguing that kids exhibit racial bias from as young as three years old.
Titled “Reflections on Children’s Racial Learning,” the guide was created by a leftist organization called EmbraceRace, and shares strategies to effectively inculcate liberal beliefs on race among young children. It was written in part by professors at prominent universities such as the University of North Carolina and Wake Forest University, who urge parents to have “courageous conversations about race” with their toddlers.
“Children will ‘naturally’ grow up to be non-racist adults only when they live in a non-racist society. Until then, adults must guide children’s anti-racist development,” the guide argues, adding that “we have far to go before the US can be considered a ‘non-racist society.’” It also claimed that “by about 3-4 years old … white children generally show clear pro-White biases.”
EmbraceRace, the organization behind the guide, claims that “children’s racial sensibilities begin to form in infancy” and that kids “develop racial and other biases by kindergarten.” EmbraceRace bemoans that most “racial learning” doesn’t take place until middle or high school, and exists to provide resources for “early and elementary childhood educators.”
The guide was slammed by parent’s rights activists who oppose the politicization of education.
“Any individual or group trying to claim babies can be ‘racist’ has ceded any pretense to be taken seriously. At three-and four-years-old, children should be learning their numbers, letters, and basic social skills, not racially charged content that is being pushed on them by radical organizations looking to enrich themselves through race-baiting,” said Michele Exner, the Senior Adviser at Parents Defending Education, a grassroots organization opposed to Critical Race Theory and gender theory in America’s schools.

Can I ask:
Are shorter people, in general, less tall than taller people
Is that racist?
Do people with freckles, in general, have more freckles than people with no freckles?
Is that racist?
Is there an academic expert who is expert in such complicated academic matters?
I remember my kindergarten class in 1958. Today’s kindergarten children will be put into overdrive. Let’s see .. CRT, gender fluidity, anal sex, oral sex, masturbation, sex toys, etc. That’s a lot of learning for a 5-year old.
White kids are born racist, and should be groomed to question their gender?
Don’t call it “liberal”. That’s leftie extremism.
This is the basis for the “free pre-school” movement in Portland, as a tax on those making over $250K/yr. To the best of my knowledge they are collecting money but haven’t set up any schools yet with the WuFlu shutdown and such. It is pure indoctrination IMHO and my neighbor who is a big supporter got offended when i refused to sign her petition to get it on the ballot because it sounded a lot like backdoor socialism. Within 3 minutes she was calling me a white supremacist. Boy do they hate getting called out.
