According to information obtained from a Buffalo Public Schools district whistleblower instead of working on practical measures to improve the district's dismally low academic performance, administrators have implemented "equity based instructional strategies." The centerpiece of this view is that "America is built on racism," a view propagated by district diversity czar Fatima Morrell. She has also proclaimed that "America's sickness" leads some to believe that blacks are "not human," making it easier to "shoot someone in the back seven times if you feel like it."

According to information obtained from a Buffalo Public Schools district whistleblower instead of working on practical measures to improve the district's dismally low academic performance, administrators have implemented "equity based instructional strategies."

The view that education should be shaped through a framework that claims to resolve racial disparities is an appeal to an emerging scholarship known as critical race theory (CRT). This story is an all too common one in which American public institutions are being plagued by this ahistorical anti-American ideology. It is a negativist theory that relies on the ability to find racism in every facet of society and is propped up daily by divisive media talking heads who push discordant content for views and clicks.
Not only has critical race theory regressed the national conversation on race, but it's regressed the national conversation in general. Consider for a moment how, just last week, a member of the White House press corps asked Press Secretary Jen Psaki to respond to the profoundly stupid criticism that vaccinating teachers first is "anti-equity" because most teachers are white. The question was inspired by criticism from infectious disease specialist Dr. Celine Gounder, a health "equity" activist who spends quite a bit of time on the media circuit. Gounder is a critical race theorist who hosts a podcast called American Diagnosis, which claims to expose how health is influenced by institutional racism. "Poor health? It isn't random," the show's blurb claims. "[W]e're talking about the divide between the people who'll live long and healthy lives and those who won't.
Like most critical theory, critical race theory is a spawn of Marxist thought, and its influence in American education continues to be somewhat furtive. Yet, as critical race theory spreads, firm and sustained opposition to it from conservatives is absent, even as tribulations like the ones plaguing the Buffalo Public School district become commonplace. In fact, the American Conservative Union actually platformed conservatives who espouse a "lite" version of the dogma at its annual CPAC conference last month.
CPAC's only panel dedicated to race, titled "Doubt, Dysfunction, and the Price of Missed Opportunities," failed to mention critical race theory at all. In fact, the program criticized conservative messaging at-large for sticking to "talking points", while tacitly pleading conservatives to embrace the "growing pains" that come with embracing a new dialogue on race. The panelists, moderated by Black Guns Matter founder Maj Toure, regurgitated leftist depictions of how conservatives view race and even associated traditional Black conservative ideology with the character "Carlton Banks" from the Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air. (One, talk show radio host Sonnie Johnson, once notably disagreed with former President Trump's assessment that his administration had made things easier on the black community.)
The temptation to embrace critical race views, it seems, is almost too irresistible for a conservative movement desperate to maintain the steam former President Donald Trump gained by building a historic alliance with the black community. But what these "conscious black conservatives" fail to realize is that, by the time of the November 2020 election, that alliance was in tatters—as a direct consequence of critical race theory.
Bullied by the allegation that popular conservatism is a racist movement, Republicans have continued to make small but significant concessions to this way of thinking. During the George Floyd riots, some GOP senators actually marched alongside Black Lives Matter—the physical and organizational manifestation of the belief that America is institutionally racist. (Okay, only Mitt Romney did that, but still, the influence of critical race theory among conservatives is still hard to deny.
Similarly alarming, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey gave a speech about racial reforms last year against the backdrop of George Floyd protestors. During the address, Ducey failed to refute claims made by racial activists that he doesn't understand systemic racism and "suffers from white privilege," adding that he's committed to "learning." "I'm learning along the way," Ducey said, giving full grace to critical race proponents. "I'm continuing to learn. I'm committed to that."

[S]ome on the right are legitimizing critical race theory to capitalize on the fashionable nature of wokeness.Take for example Republican presidential-hopeful, Nikki Haley, who notably spread the conspiracy theory that former President Donald Trump voiced support for the KKK during the Charlottesville incident, writing in her 2019 memoir that she was "deeply disturbed." Haley also famously embraced the notion that America is racist while attempting to dispel it during her speech at the RNC in August, noting the discrimination and hate her family faced while immigrating to the U.S. calling, herself a "brown girl," and adding that "America is a story that's a work in progress." Haley's slide toward racial wokeness is surprising considering that she experienced a racial controversy of her own when it was revealed that she listed herself as "white" on a 2001 voter registration card.
