A great cartoon!  

These are clearly wacky ideas. It's hard to imagine the thought process that caused leading Democrats to promote them. Regardless, Democratic politicians' unwillingness to stand up to the insanity in their own party has clearly hurt them in the polls. Hispanic voters, independents and even suburban moms are getting turned off by the ideological, radical strain driving the agenda. It seems that even after scalding their hands on the hot stove, Democrats are coming back for more punishment. This time, they are helping the radicals screw around with children's education.

The things happening in American schools are truly scary. Despite the left's desire to keep it quiet and the liberal media's desire to whitewash it, parents are catching on -- and they are not happy.

On race, school districts around the country are normalizing racism. Corporate media will tell you otherwise. The New York Times asserted definitively just this morning that "conservatives have ... falsely claimed" divisive critical race theory is bleeding into schools. You'll find similar gaslighting at NBC, The Washington Post and several other left-wing media companies.

Meanwhile, a teacher in New York City made headlines when he complained about students and teachers being broken up by race for "anti-racism" training, wherein they were taught that "objectivity" and "individualism" were white attributes. A school in Cupertino, California, asked third graders to "deconstruct their racial identities, then rank themselves according to their 'power and privilege,'" according to City Journal. And, finally, if critical race theorists aren't trying to indoctrinate children, why is the country's leading critical race theory guru hocking an "Antiracist Baby" picture book for infants?

There are countless examples. Kids may not be learning the "advanced legal theory" graduate schools offer, but it is clear to anyone who has not had a significant psychological break from reality that these concepts are downstream from that theory, and schools are  adopting them.

Contrary to the views espoused by Martin Luther King Jr., these concepts are teaching students that race defines us. They are teaching kids to judge others based on race. As usual with the left, this insanity is packaged to sound nonthreatening. They call it "critical race theory." You shouldn't. Just call it racism. That's all it is.

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, a product of the segregated South, most eloquently pushed back on the insanity this week: "One of the worries that I have about the way that we're talking about race is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past -- I don't think that's very productive -- or black people have to feel disempowered by race. I would like black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that I don't have to make white kids feel bad for being white."

That's all there is to it. That's America. Outside of the radical left and a few crazy racists on the fringe, most Americans share Rice's vision.

Looks like the author is oblivious to the fact no one talks about Defund the Police other than himself. Republicans may regret messing with women's uteri.

Question for you XX___51, what is the defining word in Critical Race Theory ... I'll give you a hint, it starts with T.

Well defunding the police is still popular among the urban progressives. calhealthreport

we are right about border issues too.  
right now mothers are more concerned with what government and schools are doing to their existing children.  Thanks for giving us back the suburban soccer moms votes.  

Kind of like they don’t treat the theory of evolution as of it were settled scientific law?  We aren’t letting critical race theory get anywhere near there.  

Oh, good grief.  You really need to try to comprehend the difference between a theory and a law as regards science.  Your posts come across as pretty ridiculous when it's obvious that you don't know the difference, but try to make authoritative statements.

I really need do nothing suggested above. Your petty personal attack on me is noted though. 

This is exactly how an individual stubbornly inhibits personal growth (learning).   Your comment demonstrated that you do not understand the concept of a scientific law and, since you refuse to educate yourself, never will.

Your response to an education in science is a pic of Trump with his eyes looking even more vacant than usual?

Appropriate, but not in the way you intended.

Kind of like they don’t treat the theory of evolution as of it were settled scientific law?  

You clearly do not know the difference between a scientific theory and law. It's best to not comment on something you have no understanding about, lest you wind up looking ignorant and foolish.

I really need do nothing suggested above.

In other words, you choose to remain willfully ignorant!

More neo-fascist propaganda.  Nothing of value in this seed, the introductory comment or any of the seeder's other comments.

It is a solid mainstream opinion regarding the issues of defunding the police, the border crisis, and the education of our children.  That the secular progressive left hates these truths so much is proof that they are right on!  

My black friends would puke if they heard a Trumpist-Fascist using the term "right on".

I’ve used that term my whole life.  Now get with discussion of the issues presented in the seeded article and stop making all my seeds personal about me.  

Comment 4 says everything that needs to be said about the seeded article.

Of course not one single word in comment #4 is a truthful word about the seeded article or the seeded.  

My black friends

Wait a minute...

I thought it was a liberal staple to claim a white conservative is racist if they state they have black friends.

Should we begin to refer to you as racist, or....does it not count when  a leftist does it?

Yes, we can! 

A great American!

Some Democrats are clinically insane.  They that keep trying socialism over and over and are totally shocked to be rejected by we the people every time because the global results of it are always bad.  Now they compound matters with the covid spreading border crisis, using their looting rioting mobs to defund the police, lockdowns and mandates, and trying  to cram 1619 propaganda, CRT, trans lobby crap, and porno books in school libraries down our kids throats. Their time of reckoning is here.  

Comment 4.5 says all that need be said about comment 4

Let’s go Brandon!  

When is it okay to dehumanise a black person? When that black person is a conservative Republican . That seems to be the message of the storm of angry commentary that followed the election of Winsome Sears as lieutenant governor of Virginia. Sears has been denounced by Democrats and woke hacks as the black face of white supremacy, as a token black witlessly doing the bidding of evil white men. She’s been depicted as a wide-eyed dupe of political ideologies she probably doesn’t even understand. This is woke racism in action, where any member of an ethnic minority that refuses to bow and scrape to the identitarian script is viciously written off as a dumb Uncle Tom.

Sears was elected lieutenant governor in the gubernatorial elections in Virginia last Tuesday. Glenn Youngkin was elected governor. This Republican victory was a massive upset for the Dems. It delivered a huge blow not only to Joe Biden , who got a 10-point win in Virginia just one year ago in the presidential election, but also to the whole paternalistic cult of identity politics. Parents in Virginia were furious about the closure of their kids’ schools during the Covid pandemic, and also that their kids are being instructed in the hyper-racial, hyper-divisive ways of ‘Critical Race Theory’. The good voters of Virginia didn’t only say No to the Democratic candidate, Terry McAuliffe. They also said No to the manipulation of the education system to socialise a new generation into the identitarian narrative. They said No to the racial micromanagement that is the preferred method of governance of the new managerial elites. And they did this by rallying behind a black immigrant woman who rejects these woke ideologies – Winsome Sears.

The fact that Virginians elected a lieutenant governor who is black and who was born outside of America – in Jamaica – would seem to suggest they are not the suburban racist scumbags so much of the commentariat thinks they are. And yet still they’re being denounced as white supremacists. ‘Voting for a black candidate does not grant absolution from racism’, decreed a columnist for the Washington Post . The Youngkin / Sears voters were still likely ‘motivated by the racist dog whistles… that politicians use to play on racial fears’, he said. Those dumb, dog-like voters, responding with tongue-wagging obedience to the shrill-pitched prejudices of Republican candidates – this really is how many observers view the people of Virginia, even the hundreds of thousands who voted for a ticket that included a black immigrant. And still these observers think they’re the good guys.

Political pundit Jemele Hill said of the Youngkin / Sears victory: ‘This country simply loves white supremacy.’ You couldn’t ask for clearer proof that the phrase ‘white supremacy’ has been utterly emptied of meaning. It used to refer to the foul ideological belief that white people are a superior race and should thus dominate society to the exclusion of all other races. Now apparently even white people who vote to be governed by a black woman can be ‘white supremacists’. The words ‘white supremacy’ have suffered the same fate that Orwell noted of the word ‘fascism’ – they’ve lost their ‘last vestige of meaning’ through opportunistic overusage.

But apparently it isn’t only those who voted for Sears who are responding to the dog whistles of their racist masters – so is Sears herself. In one of the most shockingly racialised commentaries I’ve seen on mainstream TV for a long time, one observer denounced Sears as a ‘black face speaking on behalf of a white-supremacist legacy’. These were the words of political scholar Michael Eric Dyson . He said of Sears: ‘There is a black mouth moving but a white idea… running on the runway of the tongue.’ Face, tongue – note the complete lack of consideration for Sears’ mind or beliefs . To some she’s just body parts, the black fleshy exterior of white supremacy. It is disturbingly dehumanising.

Dyson cut to the heart of woke racial thinking with the following comment. ‘We know’, he said, ‘that [black people] can internalise in our own minds, in our own subconscious, in our own bodies the very principles that are undoing us’. There it is. The belief that any black person who does not swear unflinching loyalty to pseudo-left identity politics has been brainwashed by whiteness. They’ve been corrupted by powerful cultural forces, turned into robotic servants of racial supremacy. This isn’t only an insult to Ms Sears, who comes to be reduced to the flapping mouth of white supremacy, the house negro of right-wing Republicanism. No, this view of dissenting black voices as people who have ‘internalised’ the hatreds of white supremacy is now widespread across the politics of identity.

In Britain, too, any ethnic-minority political figure who bristles against identitarianism is branded a black mouth for white interests, a stooge of white men. So home secretary Priti Patel was referred to in the Guardian as one of those ‘ministers with brown skin wearing Tory masks’. The Huffington Post branded her a ‘pawn in white supremacy’. ‘Pawn’ means a person who is controlled by others. There’s that denial of agency again. ‘Problematic’ brown and black people are always viewed as the brainless lackeys of all-powerful whiteness. Labour MP Dawn Butler has accused ethnic-minority Tories of engaging in ‘racial gatekeeping’. As Kemi Badenoch rightly says, these are all racial slurs.

The woke fury aimed at black and brown people who dare to deviate from ‘correct-think’ exposes the racist underpinning to identity politics. The identitarian set, which includes large swathes of the Democrats in the US and the Labour Party in the UK, clearly view ethnic-minority people as political monoliths, as a racial bloc that has a duty to adhere to the one, true, correct way of thinking rather than as a collection of individuals who hold all kinds of diverse political views. They don’t view whites like this – so why blacks? The identitarian left also thinks it has some kind of moral ownership over black and brown populations. ‘We are anti-racist and yet these ungrateful, uppity people dare to question us?’ – that’s essentially what they think when someone like Sears turns her nose up at their agenda. They view Sears, Patel, Badenoch and others as apostates; heretical individuals who have dared to blaspheme against the revealed truths of wokeness.

There is much to celebrate in the election of Sears. As I say, the Youngkin / Sears vote was a revolt against the increasingly patrician politics pushed by the Dems. Also, Sears is the daughter of an immigrant who arrived in the US with just $1.75, she grew up in the Bronx, and yet she worked her way into the marines and eventually into politics. She’s the first woman ever to be elected lieutenant governor in Virginia. If she succeeds Youngkin at some point, she will be the first black female governor in the entire history of the United States. And yet the woke left cannot cheer these facts because it is too busy expressing horror at this black mouth, this black body, making the case for its white-supremacist masters. If only there was a word for taking such a low, despicable view of successful black people.

Former gov. Mc Auliffe is sure regretting his messing with his states moms.  

That sure turned out to be true all over the country, regarding messing with parents.  Mc Auliffe was the most well known victim of the wrath of moms!
