How to Fight Critical Race Theory

Its supporters deploy a series of euphemisms to describe critical race theory, including "Equity," "Social justice," "Diversity and inclusion," and "Culturally responsive teaching." Critical race theorists, masters of language construction, realize that "Neo-Marxism" would be a hard sell.

What does critical race theory look like in practice? Last year, I authored a series of reports focused on critical race theory in the federal government.

When I say that critical race theory is becoming the operating ideology of our public institutions, I am not exaggerating-from the universities to bureaucracies to K-12 school systems, critical race theory has permeated the collective intelligence and decision-making process of American government, with no sign of slowing down.

Today, under the increasing sway of critical race theory and related ideologies, they are being turned against the American people.

Third, Americans across the political spectrum have failed to separate the premise of critical race theory from its conclusion.

On the grassroots level, a multiracial and bipartisan coalition is emerging to fight critical race theory.

In addition to pointing out the dishonesty of the historical narrative on which critical race theory is predicated, we must promote the true story of America-a story that is honest about injustices in American history, but that places them in the context of our nation's high ideals and the progress we have made toward realizing them.
