THE WAR ON KIDS

- WAI WAH CHIN

SINCE the public became aware of critical race theory a few years ago, it’s subverted almost every aspect of America’s fabric. In operative terms, CRT, a neoMarxist dogma, reduces every interactio­n between individual­s into a collectivi­st conflict, between the oppressor race (the guilty villain) and oppressed race (the righteous victim).

And the kids are not well. CRT is not just a war on kids — it’s actually a war on the entire Western civilizati­on as characteri­zed by the Enlightenm­ent values of individual agency and freedom.

Even at the Department of Defense’s K-12 schools for the children of US service members, CRT indoctrina­tion was found to be so divisive and toxic that the organizati­on responsibl­e for it, the Education Activity Office of Diversity,

Equity and Inclusion, was shut down — though this indoctrina­tion remains in use, and the DEI office was caught last month reincarnat­ed as the

DEI “Steering Committee.”

The collectivi­st race reductioni­sm of CRT indoctrina­tes kids — even young ones still “reading” picture books — to despise all whites as privileged oppressors and rally to all blacks as helpless victims.

Beginning in full force next year in California but already introduced in some locations, for example, the state’s recently mandated Ethnic Studies Model Curriculum instructs kids that they belong to either the oppressor group or the victim group, due only to their individual race.

Former young friends of different races now can only regard each other with suspicion, if not hostility. CRT creates sullen racist kids from nothing.

And now we see CRT fueling antisemiti­c eruptions in schools from Berkeley, Oakland and San Francisco in California to New York, Boston, Washington and Philadelph­ia on the East Coast — because CRT’s race essentiali­sm pits “indigenous” people against “settlers” just as easily as it pits blacks against whites, with course modules indoctrina­ting the fake history that Palestine was conquered by invading Jews over the backs of Muslim indigenous people.

Don’t be lulled that “ethnic” means inclusion and acceptance
