In truth, many of those rallying against critical race theory have little or no interest in protecting children from “discomfort,” David R. Hoffman writes.
It is time for people to realize that the artificially manufactured anti-critical race theory hysteria is more than just a grift by right-wing politicians, pundits, and organizations soliciting votes, ratings, and funding by appeals to white supremacy.The first is to define critical race theory so nebulously that any classroom discussions about race, no matter how educational or innocuous, can readily be silenced by labeling them critical race theory.
The second is to use critical race theory to sow distrust, and decrease enrollment, in public education, because many of the individuals and organizations currently campaigning against critical race theory hope to financially profit from the private “charter” schools they plan to open and operate.Support the exchange of local and state ideas by subscribing to the Columbus Dispatch.
But it should be remembered that it wasn’t Marxists who instituted slavery in America; it wasn’t Marxists who authored the infamous Dred Scott decision that would have allowed slavery to proliferate in every state; it wasn’t Marxists who passed the “Jim Crow” segregation laws; and it wasn’t Marxists who, in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, proclaimed that the doctrine of “separate but equal” did not violate the United States Constitution.
During the Jim Crow era, American Marxists often advocated for racial integration; thus, one might think they were overjoyed when the U.S. Supreme Court finally struck down the doctrine of “separate but equal” in the 1954 case of Brown v. Topeka.Marxist support of racial integration was primarily built on the belief that it would never be achieved within the framework of America’s government, thus leaving revolution as the only option for change.
