Dr. Carol Swain has cited all the CRT problems and solutions. I am impressed with her wisdom, how the CRT will finally destroy our country if allowed to exist.

Please read, very powerful message from Dr. Carol Swain. She provided all the reasons, solutions, why CRT is a very powerful tool that will finally destroy our country and people.

CRT must not be allowed to move on. The results will be destructions, will cease this nation to exist. We all must move to stop it. It has now gotten roots in public schools. It is unconstitutional.


I saw on TV Parents who attended the Schools Board Meeting trying to address all the evils and destruction CRT brings to the children. But Schools Board Members were so arrogant. Instead, the parents who spoke against the CRT were arrested. they called the police officers and had the teacher arrested, got him out of the meeting. What is this? The constitution no longer exist? It is run like the CCP, or NK. WE have lost our constitutional rights in this Biden administration. Are you happy now?

Biden seem to embrace the situation because his administration has moved to a system of Totalitarian government , or a Marxist government. These all started when Barack Obama came to power. Dr. Swain confirmed it. In Biden's administration, at present, the Constitution cease to exist. We have no more rights. Soon our assets will be confiscated, wait and see.

Critical Race Theory May Violate Civil Rights Act, the Constitution: Dr. Carol Swain

BY ELLA KIETLINSKA June 22, 2021 Updated: June 22, 2021

Critical Race Theory training, which pressures people not to say certain things, take a certain stance, or forces them into some segregated settings, may infringe on people’s constitutional rights and even violate civil rights laws, said Dr. Carol Swain, a former professor of political science and law at Princeton and Vanderbilt universities.

The main tenet of Critical Race Theory (CRT) is that the people of the world are divided into oppressors and oppressed, and in the United States, “all white people are considered oppressors who benefit from undeserved advantages,”

“[W****s] are deemed guilty of having set up a system of s******c r****m,” she said of one main assumption being drawn from CRT. “The demonization of one group of people because of the color of their skin is something that is discriminatory.”

A lot of white people who are forced into CRT-based training, and forced to confess to being r****t because of their race, do not realize that they are protected by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, and disability, explained the retired professor.

White people are protected in the same way that black people are by civil rights laws, she said. “We’re not a country where it’s acceptable to bully and shame people because of the color of their skin.”

Such acts create a hostile environment at work or may cause psychological harm to children at school, the award-winning author explained, adding that parents have reported depression, trauma, or other problems in their children who had been told that, because of their whiteness or the fact that their ancestors inflicted harm, they are also guilty of oppression.

Moreover, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees certain protections to all people, even non-citizens.

If a public institution such as a school tries to restrict people’s speech or behavior, it may be also a First Amendment violation, Swain said.

Private schools have more freedom to discriminate than public ones, but students whose rights are infringed can use other bases, such as the student handbook that guarantees students certain rights, to fight discrimination, she added.

Swain suggested that students facing discrimination can also seek help from organizations defending students’ or individuals’ freedom of speech, association, and religious liberty, such as The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) or the Christian Legal Society.

Another way to counter discrimination at schools is publicity, the professor advised. Students can write articles about discrimination cases and publish them in student media like The College Fix or Campus Reform as there have been cases of universities backing down due to the public outcry over the reports of unfair treatment, according to Swain.

She also recommended that students “always document things that are discriminatory and use that evidence when the time is right.”

History of Race Relations

Johnny Taylor, Jr. speaks after President Donald Trump announced him as the Chairman of the President’s Board of Advisors on Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington on Feb. 27, 2018.
“I think America has been so important to the world, that the true history of its founding, as well as the mistakes that were made and just how we address those mistakes, are things that enrich people. And it is something that should not be hidden, and certainly not something that would be a cause of shame,” Swain told Crossroads.


The true story of America is a story of b****s and w****s working together to overcome that tragic part of our history.”

During the period following the end of s***ery, “it was white philanthropy that set up schools across the South, that set up those historically black colleges and universities, and trillions of dollars have been donated since the end of s***ery to try to address the past and present effects of s***ery,” explained the co-chairwoman for former President Donald Trump’s 1776 Commission.

The civil rights movement itself is a moment in history where w****s, b****s, people of other races and ethnicities came together for a cause. “That was powerful,” she continued.

Swain was born during the time of “s******c r****m” in the segregated South. She witnessed the collapse of institutional r****m and benefited from the opportunities created for b***k A******ns like herself.

“My love of country came about because when I was in school, we were taught civics and patriotism. And I felt like I lived in the greatest nation in the world,” Swain said.

R****m was dying in the United States before President Barack Obama was elected, she said. At that time, the country was portrayed by legacy media as being a post-racial society. “I think that because we were making so much progress, the political left and those that benefit by r****m and keeping us divided … they had to act.”

This was the time when the racial tensions, which divided people, restarted and when standards in classes, especially in public schools, were lowered owing to CRT and the restorative justice agenda being pushed, she added.

Opportunities for black people have never been better than today and ultimately, success depends on a person’s attitude, she said.


Swain shared that as one of 12 children, she had dropped out of high school, married at 16, and had three small children by the time she was 21. Despite that, she went back to school, got a high school equivalency, and went to a community college where she got the first of her degrees.

She pointed out that she was able to achieve success and overcome the circumstances of her birth because she believed that hard work mattered and applied herself as such.

“I did not see myself as handicapped because I was black, poor, a woman,” the professor said. “I took advantage of what America offered.”

Among today’s youth, minorities are being “crippled in their minds because they’ve been told by the political left what they can’t do and they are being handicapped,” she warned.

“They’re not even being held to the same standards that people of my generation were held to at colleges and universities. And as a consequence, they do feel inferior. A lot of what is crippling them is what they have been indoctrinated with.”

In her view, the r****m coming from the political left is a forced re-segregation, and the lowered standards being pushed out for racial, ethnic minorities are impeding the development of their fullest potential.


R****m Serves Political, Financial Interests
Protesters march to the state Capitol in Baton Rouge, La., Sunday, July 10, 2016. People are protesting the shooting death of a black man, Alton Sterling, by two white police officers at a convenience store parking lot last week.

Inciting r****m serves the political interests of the Democrats who use the CRT to sow divisions between races in order to secure the black v**es that they need to maintain their power, Swain said.

Any time some progress is made with race relations, an incident is found “to play up in the media to get Americans all worked up and divided by race. And it’s very easy to do because there’s always something happening somewhere,” she added.

She pointed to the many incidents like police shootings that have been played up by the media, acting to inflame people’s emotions and distract the public “during a time when there’s something in the news that is not favorable to the progressive agenda."

It makes black people keep feeling like there is so much r****m and blames Republicans or white people for being guilty of this r****m, Swain continued.

“They are creating a very dangerous situation in this country because they’re demonizing all white people, including themselves and their own children,” she said, adding that hatred, once unleashed, cannot be easily “put back in the box.”


Black L***s M****r (B*M), an openly Marxist organization, was able to capitalize on the public’s reaction to G****e F***d’s death and raise millions of dollars for progressive black causes, Swain said. People around the world who care about black people were shocked by the video of Floyd’s death, which was played over and over again in the news and many then donated money to the organization because they believed in the slogan “Black L***s M****r.”

“Black lives do matter, all l***s m****r,” she said. But “that money did not go into black communities. It didn’t change black lives.”


Swain went on to encourage Americans to counter the negative impact of CRT by becoming informed about CRT and “where it comes from, and how it operates, and how it’s contrary to the Constitution, and the Equal Protection Clause and civil rights laws.”

“If people become equipped by knowledge and have the courage to stand up on principle, to fight for principles they believe in, there’s no way that this radical agenda can take down our nation,” she said.

“You should know the t***h and the t***h shall make you free,” Swain said, citing the Bible.


If people, however, allow CRT to advance through the nation’s institutions of power and reshape the way the society functions, then state-sanctioned discrimination will soon be instituted by the U.S. government—by the highest echelons of power—weakening and destroying the nation from within, she warned.

“The remedy is the American people standing on principles, standing on values, standing on their history, and being courageous enough to fight back,” said Swain.

Oh please. That's not what they are teaching at all. There is no such thing as s******c r****m. If there was we'd have never had a black President elected twice. Figures, you, the OPP perpetual whining victim would be for CRT.

Critical race theory (CRT) is an academic movement of civil-rights scholars and activists in the United States who seek to critically examine the law as it intersects with issues of race and to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.[1] Critical race theory examines social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and r****m.[2][3]

Critical race theory originated in the mid-1970s in the writings of several American legal scholars, including Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Richard Delgado, Cheryl Harris, Charles R. Lawrence III, Mari Matsuda, and Patricia J. Williams.[1] It emerged as a movement by the 1980s, reworking theories of critical legal studies (CLS) with more focus on race.[4] Both critical race theory and critical legal studies are rooted in Critical Theory, an approach to social theory established by members of the Frankfurt School, which argues that social problems are influenced and created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual and psychological factors.[5]

Critical race theory sees r****m as systemic and institutional, rather than just a collection of individual prejudices.[6][7] It also views race as a socially constructed identity.[6] The theory emphasizes how r****m and disparate racial outcomes can be the result of complex, changing and often subtle social and institutional dynamics, rather than explicit and intentional prejudices by individuals.[6] In the field of legal studies, critical race theory emphasizes that merely making laws colorblind on paper may not be enough to make the application of the laws colorblind; ostensibly colorblind laws can be applied in racially discriminatory ways.[8] Intersectionality – which emphasizes that race can intersect with other identities (such as g****r and class) to produce complex combinations of power and disadvantage – is a key concept in critical race theory.[9]

Academic critics of critical race theory argue that it relies on social constructionism, elevates storytelling over evidence and reason, rejects the concepts of t***h and merit, and opposes liberalism.[10][11][12] Since 2020, conservative lawmakers in the United States have sought to ban or restrict critical race theory instruction along with other anti-r****m programs.[7][13] Critics of the efforts to ban it say critical race theory has been unduly elevated in importance, that its contents have been misrepresented, and that the goal behind these efforts is to silence broader discussions of r****m, e******y, social justice, and the history of race.[14][15]

==================
All in the GUISE OF DECEPTIONS. Actually this is how it works now in Public Schools. Re: Parents Meeting with the School Board Members, to address their dissent against the CRT's. What happened? The School Board Members have arrested the parent trying to present the case that will destroy his child with the CRT. The parent was not allowed to speak but arrested. For goodness sakes, right there it has become a c*******t like CCP and NK.

And by the way, we the taxpayers fund these bastards in schools.

Are you out of your mind? Don't talk to me anymore, with your NON-SENSE please. You are wasting my time. I am extremely busy.

Who gives a damn about your definition? That's not what they are teaching. Growing up I was taught the horrors and t***h about s***ery. From the Jews to the Africans. I've discovered we are probably the least r****t country in the world. We bend over backwards to right a wrong myself or no one I have ever known committed. We fought a Civil War, in part to end s***ery. Millions try to sneak into this supposed r****t country all the time. Do us a favor and sneak out. You can be a victim in any country you choose.

I see all of you i***ts have bought into the stupid. CRT was never taught, and never intended for K through 12 students. You have been sold a bill of goods again.

Might want to watch some actual news sometimes instead of re-runs.

CRT was always taught in college. There is an effort to correct history being discussed because of the 1619 project, but the attacks on the facts are so extreme that it will never be given a fair hearing.

what it was intended for and what is happening is two different things. Why do you think parents "of all colors and faith" are going to their school board meetings and arguing against the CRT curriculum in their schools? For fun? No they're kids are coming home depressed and confused. And what about bi-racial kids, what do we tell them? Hey you all are "r****t" on the right side but not the left side, you are only half r****t? This country is a well blended country accept for the continuation of the party of the KKK, democrats, who continue to spread this malarky.
