What Anti-Critical Race Theory Legislation Actually Does

After the House of Representatives voted 415-14 to make Juneteenth a national holiday, New York Times national political reporter Astead Herndon tweeted, "Its kinda amazing: juneteenth is gonna be a federal holiday for reasons teachers won't be allowed to explain to their students out of fear critical race theory backlash."

Herndon's false claim about what is taught in our nation's schools is understandable when you consider how his employer, The New York Times, covered recent Texas legislation that sought to ban the use of critical race theory in Texas schools.

A meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist, or designed by a particular race or sex to oppress members of another race or sex.

Ascribing character traits, values, moral or ethical codes, privileges, or beliefs to a race or sex, or to an individual because of the individual's race or sex.

These core American concepts of equality and individual responsibility are antithetical to critical race theory just as they are antithetical to Marxism.

Where Marxism asked Americans to understand history as a struggle between classes, critical race theory asks Americans to understand history as a struggle between races.
