‘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.”

Hey Michelle Leete, Come and take it! 👽
Howard Zinn was never a communist.
All of a sudden you believe the FBI? This is all just Joseph McCarthy nonsense revisited. BTW, your hero was also anti-Iraq War.
... 'noisyroom' is just a front for keywiki.org a site that sees mirages of communists everywhere. You really need to take a break from over the top partisan hackery.
Loudon has communist on the brain, but apparently nothing much else up there. Sorry, but Loudon is 51 cards short of a full deck.
All of a sudden you don't?
I don't see any actual defense of Zinn
I don't intend to defend him, I also don't intend to defame him blindly because of what some ultra-radical anti-communist pouts about. Unlike XXJeff, I don't do the 'gospel according to' seeds.
Zinn is Googleable ... do it yourself.
I don't intend to defend him
Good move, it's impossible to. When the defense is "well, you can't prove, he was a card carrying communist" than it's not much of a defense. It show's how far gone our education system is that a zealot like Zinn can be so influential, because of the defense that he wasn't a "real communist." There's no way a similarly situated Nazi sympathizer who enthusiastically joins Nazi front groups could attain such an influential position in our schools. Imagine trying this argument :"you can trust his history of the US to influence kids, he only works for Neo-NAzi's groups and parrots their line, he's never really paid dues"
Yet we have a propagandist for an ideology that's slaughtered tens of millions of innocent people who exercised wholly disproportionate on our educational system.
XX, do you know who or what Trevor Loudon is?
That is a yes or no question.
Donald Trump is not 1/100th of the human being Howard Zinn was.
I see you bought into it also.
Of course not. Make a statement and then attack the sources of opposing points of view rather than defend the indefensible in the man in question.
Out of curiosity I typed "was howard zinn a communist?" into a Bing search. I was not surprised that a lot of articles showed claiming that , yes, Howard Zinn was a communist. Neither was I surprised that all of them were from right wing web sites. I thought I saw one that was not, because it had the somewhat neutral name KeyWiki, but a quick look at the page revealed it to be a site dedicated to exposing "left wing corruption" , and Key Wiki is fronted by, well, Trevor Loudon. I saw 25 or 30 sites that claim Howard Zinn was a communist, but none of them were what I would call objective sites. Well one, the History News Network had an article saying Zinn was a communist, and the History News Network is for the most part an objective site featuring the opinions of history professors. In this particular case though the author was a conservative professor with an obvious ax to grind.
I have a great deal of skepticism about questions that are answered in the affirmative on internet pages that are one after the other far right websites.
Howard Zinn was a self admitted leftist and socialist. The guy in the HNN article complained that Zinn wrote about immigrant ditch diggers and union organizers in his famous book, but didnt give any background to the lives of Alexander Hamilton , John Jacob Astor, or Louis B. Mayer (presumably Zinn neglected them because they were capitalists.)
Don't "leftists" get to write US history books if they want to?
I feel very confident in saying that you personally know absolutely nothing about Howard Zinn. Of course you will copy and paste something from your favorite far right sites.
Those descriptives no longer carry the weight to spread fear hence the attachment of 'radical' to drive the point home and even that is slowly being dropped to 'communist'. I fully expect that KeyWiki will classify Liz Cheney as a communist by the end of the year.
He self admittedly worked with Communist front groups. Do you want to tell us that you'd distinguish between someone who openly works for Nazi front groups, teaches the history of Nazism to Nazis and spouts Nazi ideology and propaganda and a "dues paying" Nazi?
Now that'd be funny.
Here is the KeyWiki page on Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris - KeyWiki
They manage to use the word communist in the Harris bio three different times to try and smear her by association to .... somebody. (She once endorsed an award for a labor organizer who had at another time once spoken kindly about a local L.A. politician who was referred to as a communist. Very grim stuff)
It must be weird to obsess about communism in the U.S.
They seem to have overtaken Conservapedia for political source material.
Bravo! Well said/written.
He’s much closer to a full deck than the average secular progressive American is.
As opposed to the blatant left wing biased and non objective Wikipedia?…..
There is no defense of him. His so called “history” book is a non stop libel against the United States of America.
I have read his book “A people’s history of the United States” cover to cover.
'I typed "was howard zinn...'
Did you find any articles where Zinn called for the liquidation of Capitalism?
I'm guessing no.
So is it ok for this education leader to wish people/parents who disagree with her on CRT and 1619 project dead? That is actually what the seeded article is about.
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?
CRT at its base is an evil ideology using methods that trample upon the self worth of its victims while dividing the country.
'..an evil ideology ... methods that trample ... dividing the country. '
Some might contend that this aptly sums your participation here. But what do I know?
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.
Thanks for a post on the topic of the seeded article. You are right. The hypocrisy and double standards of her positions in organizations and her words spoken are clear to objective observers. I wish BLM thought the lives of shooting victims in Chicago matter. Clearly the lives of CRT critics don’t matter to her no matter their race.
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.
Fortunately the death wishing woman has resigned her PTA position.
Apparently, that also matters more than having a clue of what one says. I note that Becker repeats the Black Lives Matter 'Marxist' nonsense. Black Lives Matter is a petty-bourgeoisie tendency. I'm guessing that you are not in the top 1%; that's another trait you share with Black Lives Matter.
