Back in the mid 1,800’s, in chapter I, Bourgeois and Proletarians, of his book “The Communist Manifesto,” Karl Marx wrote the following:
“The history of the hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
Freeman and slave, patrician and plebeian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight…”
This is exactly the message delivered by the disciples of critical race theory, except that they go one step further in using race and ethnic background as further elements of division.
Make no mistake about it, Critical Race Theory is modern day Marxism.
It is against this background that we must consider the various attempts at ridding society in general, and public schools in particular, of this societal cancer.
Right now, pending action in both the Senate and the House appropriations committees of our State Legislature, we have two bills that aim at ridding our society of this divisive form of indoctrination.
SB1412 – baccalaureate degrees; substitute certificates NOW: race; ethnicity; sex; classroom instruction
The anti-CRT language in this bill was added via a strike-everything amendment. It is the legislature-based attempt to get this language into a statute. We are encouraging citizens to contact the members of the house appropriations committee and express support for this bill.
HCR2001 – racial discrimination; public education
This bill would accomplish essentially the same as SB1412, but via a different route. It would submit the question to the voters for approval at the next general election. Citizens should contact the members of the senate appropriations committee and express support for this bill
HB2112 – classroom instruction; race; ethnicity; sex
We would have had a third bill, HB2112, aimed at doing away with critical race theory, except that the bill sponsor allowed the introduction of a strike-everything amendment dealing with corporate welfare. This effectively killed HB2112 as a vehicle to get rid of critical race theory indoctrination in our schools.
