‘LET THEM DIE’: Virginia NAACP Member Wishes Death on Parents Who Oppose CRT in Schools
By: Kyle Becker
Yet another outrage in the marxist secular left in their attempt to indoctrinate our kids and others and literally eliminate all opposition to their fascist ways. The mainstream media, big tech social media and the Union education establishment have created an unholy union of evil in which they can indoctrinate the young with CRT, Zinn, 1619 project and other unpatriotic Anti American ideas.

‘LET THEM DIE’: Virginia NAACP Member Wishes Death on Parents Who Oppose CRT in Schools
by Kyle Becker about 3 hours agoupdated 4 minutes ago
A Virginia NAACP member unleashed a heated diatribe against parents questioning the appropriateness of Critical Race Theory being used to indoctrinate children in America’s schools.
Standing up before a group of community members, she rattled off a list of epithets to describe those who do not want racially divisive rhetoric in
schools.
“So, let us meet and remain steadfast in speaking truth, tearing down double standards, and refuting double talk,” she said. “Let’s not allow any double-downing on lies.”
“Let’s prepare our children for a world they deserve,” she continued. “Let’s deny… people who are anti-education, anti-teacher, anti-equity, anti-history, anti-racial reckoning, anti-opportunities, anti-‘help people’, anti-diversity, anti-platform, anti-science, anti-change agent, anti-social justice, anti-healthcare, anti-worker, anti-LGBTQ plus, anti-children, anti-healthcare, anti-worker, anti-environment, anti-admissions policy change, anti-inclusion, anti-‘live and let live’ people… let them die!” she railed.
According to the Post Millenial, the woman in the video is Michelle Leete, a federal employee who is also Vice President of Training at the Virginia state PTA, Vice President of Communications for the Fairfax County PTA and First Vice President of the Fairfax County NAACP.
The NAACP member’s tirade was met with applause. And of course, parents who believe Critical Race Theory is a political agenda more than an academic discipline have nothing to be concerned about, according to its defenders.
In early July, theNational Education Association, the largest teacher’s union in the United States, approved a plan for Critical Race Theory to be implemented in all classrooms nationwide.
The agenda was adopted after the 100th NEA Assembly, which was held at the Washington Convention Center and was livestreamed as a virtual meeting. Both President Joe Biden and Jill Biden spoke to the educators in a reportedly “mostly empty” hall in Washington.
Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and activist against Critical Race Theory, reported that the agenda item was adopted.
“The nation’s largest teachers union has approved a plan to promote critical race theory in all 50 states and 14,000 local school districts,” Rufo reported. “The argument that ‘critical race theory isn’t in K-12 schools’ is officially dead.”
It is important to read the nature of the NEA agenda, which is transparently political. Among the agenda items is to defend the academically discredited 1619 Project ; coordinate with the marxist group Black Lives Matter and the Zinn Education Project , named after known communist Howard Zinn; as well as ‘fight back’ against anti-CRT rhetoric.
“The union has also approved funding for ‘increasing the implementation’ of CRT in K-12 curricula and for attacking conservative groups who oppose CRT indoctrination,” Rufo continued. “The teachers union has made critical race theory its #1 priority—and want to implement it nationwide.”
“The NEA represents 3 million public school employees in all 50 states,” he continued. “They have a $350 million annual budget and an army of operatives in 14,000 local communities. They have now declared war on parents who oppose critical race theory—and parents must fight back!”
The NEA’s website reinforces the openly political nature of the educators’ agenda.
“Through interactive workshops, sessions, panels and plenaries, attendees have the opportunity to access information, resources, plan, strategize and engage on issues that impact educational opportunities for communities of color, LGBTQ and women,” the NEA website states. “In the process, we: Build local power; Look to the future; Center intersectionality; Build community.”
“In our daily work and through the conference, we fight to bring racial and social justice to all communities,” the teachers union states. “Racial Justice: The systematic fair treatment of people of all races that results in equitable opportunities and outcomes for everyone. Social Justice: A society in which the distribution of resources is equitable, all members are physically and psychologically safe and secure, and individuals are self-determining and interdependent.”
The teacher’s union is going so far as to organize counter-attacks against those who question the educators.
“NEA will research the organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked,” the measure reads on NEA’s website .
The NEA President Becky Pringle called pushback against the CRT agenda “ senseless fearmongering ” and argued that teachers must “present to students the good, bad, and ugly of our past so that they can build a better, brighter future.”
Pringle brazenly pushes the nonsensical talking point that parents who oppose CRT are advocating to “ignore racism.” She also accuses states that are passing laws to keep radical activists from politicizing the public school agendas as seeking to ‘rewrite history’ and ‘censor teachers.’
“Today, more than 25 states have introduced or passed laws to censor teachers from speaking about race and racism and deny students the right to a truthful and honest education,” Pringle argues.
“These dangerous attempts to stoke fears and rewrite history not only diminish the injustices experienced by generations of Americans, they prevent educators from challenging our students to achieve a more equitable future.”
Teachers are accountable to school boards, parents, taxpayers and state governments. There are academic and ethical standards that must be abided by, which are not tantamount to ‘censorship.’
Slavery, Jim Crow laws, and the civil rights movement have been taught in intellectually honest fashion for over 50 years in the United States. CRT has nothing to do with teaching such topics in balanced and honest fashion. Critical Race Theory is an offshoot of neomarxist Critical Theory , which is a radical project to weaponize the culture to promote the marxist agenda of destroying capitalism, the nuclear family, and religion.
Indeed, teachers around the country have begun teaching CRT with ‘struggle sessions,’ which shame white children for their skin color and accuse them of being the ‘oppressors’ of the ‘oppressed’ black people. There is no real recognition or explanation of the progress made in the United States, which resulted in a two-term black president, a black female vice president, and multiple black Supreme Court Justices.
Instead, the teachers weaponize past racial injustice by wielding a potent technique called the ‘ pedagogy of discomfort. ‘ It is a teaching tactic consistent with Megan Boler’s method of provoking emotional distress and fostering disorientation among children in order to make them more receptive to radical ideas.
“In most humanities courses, students are challenged to subject their own self-image, beliefs, and values to investigation,” one blogger summarized. “This self-reflection lends itself to emotional resistance in the form of ‘defensive anger,’ ‘fear of change,’ and ‘fears of losing our personal and cultural identities’ (Boler 176). As Stenberg and Winans both observe, emotion has the potential to derail critical inquiry when not treated correctly, particularly in courses that focus on racism, sexism, and other forms of inequality.”
As a critic put it: “I believe it [the pedagogy of discomfort] is not only theorerically wrong, but immoral, because it subtly inverts the moral universe of the classroom. And I believe, takes advantage of the student’s lack of knowledge and experience. Therefore, any educator who uses this pedagogical approach is not involved in education, but in deception and manipulation and indoctrination.”
CRT follows in the vein of such programs as Paul Freire’s controversial “ pedagogy of the oppressed ,” which sets out to create a Manichaeistic narrative of “oppressors” and “oppressed.” It is a reimagining of the Marxist “proletariat” versus the “bourgeoisie” narrative that has been used to usher in social revolutions, and invariably, authoritarian governments that dictate all economic means of production and social relations.
Parents who speak out against such political manipulation and social indoctrination of their children are being targeted by the hard left. The real thing that should “die” in this country is the Marxist indoctrination program of America’s “educators.”

Howard Zinn was never a communist.
This is not true at all, no one learns the horrors of slavery, if they learn about it at all -- Some states explicitly call for teaching about aspects of slavery throughout a student’s K-12 education, while others refer to it in passing or not at all.
This is not true at all. A tradition theory tries to explain and understand things. A critical theory critiques things with the intention of rooting out oppression so as to move moral arc towards justice. Critical Theory is an anathema for conservatives because conservatives want to maintain the status quo, so any examination is a not good. Feminism is a critical theory which conservatives used to hyper-ventilate about. It's purpose was simply to achieve equality for women, which they oppose.
This is over-the-top, 'struggle sessions' were a torture mechanism used by the Chinese to shame people. The only people referring to discussions of CRT as 'struggle sessions' are conservatives hyper-ventilaring about the latest thing they were instructed to hyper-ventilate about.
This is also false. Everyone acknowledges that the Civil War and the 1965 Civil Rights & Voting Rights Acts moved us massively towards justice. It is simply still the case that the outcomes for people of color are still poor when compared to whites. Why is it so awful to try and discover why?
Seems Other Lives Don't Matter to her. " let them die!” she railed." referring to those who disagree with her while being a big Black Lives Matter supporter.
That is a dishonest take on what she actually said.
I agree. Racism, sexism and homophobia can die...
Intolerance and ignorance and hatred should die!
Those taking personal offense at that have issues.
Yet PM Johnson makes a statement identical in its material import [let the bodies pile high], and he is a hero for Western Capitalism. Perhaps it matters to no one if anyone other than themselves and/or their 'pod' and/or their ideologically reflection lives or dies. Behold what we become.
"Yet another outrage in the marxist secular left in their attempt to indoctrinate our kids and others and literally eliminate all opposition to their fascist ways"
The 'personal content' with which you introduce Becker's screed may be the most vacuous and ignorant posted in Newstalkers' existence. I say so since to know anything about Marxism is to understand that it is a system of political economy in which the means of production and distribution of goods and services are owned and operated not privately but socially.
Since the article title line your words introduce refers to Critical Race Theory, one who knows nothing of Marxism might be forgiven for assuming that Marxism is somehow connected with race. That returns to the point that to know anything about Marxism is to understand it as a system of political economy.
It is also noteworthy that like its parent, post-modernity, 'critical race theory' and racialist theorists evidence -- contrary to their best intention -- unintentionally serve reactionary ends. This is why you yourself, outstanding reactionary that you are, have more in common with racialist theorists than Marxists.
To be Marxist is to stand in a two-sided fight against both the bourgeoisie [the 1% which is the GOP base], and the petty-bourgeoisie [the Next 9% which is the Democratic Party base].
Forgive those who actually do have measurable understanding of Marxism for concluding that you reside in that part of the population which understands nothing of Marxism.
