(Congress Report) – Liberals have been denying for years now that critical race theory is being jammed down the throats of our children in the classrooms of government-run public schools across the country, stating it’s nothing more than an obscure academic idea.
They go on to make the claim that conservatives are employing the use of the term as a means of causing fear among parents and getting them all worked up.
But that’s where Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, a member of “The Squad” is totally different. She actually acknowledges that critical race theory is indeed in classrooms and has admitted she fully plans to fight tooth and nail to ensure that it stays there, noting she will “continue pushing back” against concerned parents who come to school board meetings, accusing them of peddling “white supremacy.”
A report from The Western Journal said, “According to Breitbart, Tlaib made the remarks during an online meeting of the Oakland County Democrat Party African American Committee, where she told attendees they ‘can’t allow [parents] to whitewash history.'”
The comments Tlaib made were a response to a question that was asked by a participant who said, “For those who may not know, critical race theory examines the systematic effects of white supremacy in America.”
“My question for candidates here is, if elected, how will use your power to make sure K-12 schools, educators, are able to build curriculums that bring awareness to the history of white supremacy, layers of racism, bias, and how that currently exists today?” she continued.
“Critical race theory, for the unaware, is a far-left field of academic thought that originated in legal studies but has since been extrapolated to other disciplines. The highly subjective theory holds that America is structurally racist, that the racist bias benefits whites and that all institutions must be critiqued through the lens of race,” the Western Journal explained.
Critical race theory being taught in the classroom of schools located in Virginia, specifically in both Fairax and Loudoun counties, ignited a harsh battle between parents and members of the school board during public meetings, with the results of these confrontations usually ending up viral online.
“The ensuing controversy was a catalyst for a rare Republican sweep of statewide offices, including the governorship, in 2021 off-year elections,” the report stated.
Ever since these incidents, Democrats and hardcore progressives have been trying to convince the average American voter that critical race theory is basically just a fake monster concocted by the GOP to stir people up. But Tlaib has taken a totally different route.
“We won’t be able to confront it if history is written upon falsehoods after falsehoods,” Tlaib stated concerning CRT.
“On the local level, I’m going to show up and be vocal about these efforts. I’m going to continue to train, you know, neighbors and community groups on how to, you know, get folks like us running for office so that we have folks again with various lived experiences making those decisions,” the congresswoman continued.
She then acknowledged that others in her party warned her to stay away from the issue, but decided not to take that advice.
“One of the things that continue to push back with urgency is my colleagues who say, ‘don’t talk about critical race theory, Rashida, this is not the time,’” Tlaib said.
Tlaib continued, “You got to continue pushing back on white supremacy in our country, because this is exactly how you enable them to pretend it’s not actually happening.”
And, of course, as noted earlier, the white supremacists are the parents who don’t want their kid to be made to feel like an evil, racist, vile person, and to look at people and judge them by skin color rather than the content of their character.
“It is happening,” she went to say, speaking of the parents. “They’re showing up at our school board meetings right now. They are intentional about making sure that we’re not speaking truth to our children.”
The Democratic congresswoman then made the claim that these parents didn’t want teachers to tell their kids “slavery was bad.” Which, of course, is not true at all.
“Tlaib, like every other member of ‘The Squad’ — the far-left group of Democrat House legislators who have a substantial Twitter following but not much real-world power — is in a district so safe she could say virtually anything and get re-elected. Getting behind critical race theory isn’t going to hurt her brand at all. In fact, she’d likely be in bigger trouble with her activist base if her answer were more nuanced,” the Western Journal reported.
“The rest of the Democrats, however, definitely cringed over this one — particularly her insistence that parents showing up at school board meetings complaining about indoctrination were supporting ‘white supremacy,'” the report continued.
Attorney General Merrick Garland already managed to get the current administration in big trouble after he sent a memo back in October 2021 that directed the FBI to treat parents as potential domestic terrorist threats.
During testimony provided by Garland in front of Congress, the attorney general said that the memo only addressed “concerns about violence, threats of violence, other criminal conduct.”
What it comes down to is they want your kid brainwashed. When you dare to defend them, you are saying the state does not know what is best for your children. You are slapping the elites in the mouth. That’s a big no-no.
This is why the fight for education is so important. We must protect our kids from lies that are harmful and racist, like critical race theory.
