Academic Activists Want Critical Race Theory Taught to Children in Kindergarten
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 OldsAcademics 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.
