Critical Race Theory Organizers Already Planning Their Return to Classrooms
“unmistakable takeaway is that CRT practitioners are aghast at the resistance they have encountered”
This is that thing that Democrats and the media assured us was not even being taught in classrooms. Remember?
From the Daily Signal, via The Lion:
Critical race theory organizers plot their return to the classroom
The top practitioners of critical race theory just held a weeklong “summer school” in Nashville, Tennessee, to strategize, assess the movement, and debate how best to proselytize the next generation. It was an instructive six days of revolutionary agitprop.
Two things immediately stood out. The first is that, yes, despite its protestations to the contrary, the architects of CRT know they must focus intently on those who participate in the teaching profession. If CRT is a tool to be used for “revolutionizing a culture,” as its intellectual godfather, Derrick Bell, once put it, it must be implemented by teachers starting in K-12 and through graduate school.
K-12 teachers, along with students at all levels, were given special ticket prices to the CRT conference at a deep discount, as my colleague and friend Jonathan Butcher pointed out. K-12 principals also were given a special package, though at a smaller discount.
The other unmistakable takeaway is that CRT practitioners are aghast at the resistance they have encountered. The public, parents in particular, saw the attempted takeover of their cultural institutions that gathered speed four years ago and fought against it, much to the chagrin of the CRT elite and their followers.
And the summer school was indeed organized by the elite most wounded by popular rejection. It was led by Kimberle Crenshaw, a law professor at Columbia and UCLA. She is not just one of the key founders of the movement, but actually gave CRT its name at the discipline’s founding conference in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1989.
Crenshaw also invented the concept of “intersectionality,” by which the CRT founders mean that people can be discriminated against based on different attributes—their race, gender, able status, etc.

havent the gop defunded these communist org yet???
the committed anarchists are still trying to destroy the ethos of the United States of America; the rest of the sheep just wait in line, ready to be told what they should do, say, and teach
Of course CRT proponents are regrouping.
They haven’t maximized their power yet.
Maybe they sniff excitement over a Harris win?
They’ll have a friend in DC.
Bob Chiaradio had fought this fight years ago in Westerly, RI.
