Virginia police are investigating an 'anti-racist' Facebook group that named the parents of students who members say are 'against critical race theory'.
The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County group - which reportedly includes teachers and school board members - shared personal details of those they say had opposed moves to teach the controversial curriculum.
It urged followers to 'gather information' on them and encouraged online hackers to silence critics of the theory, The Daily Wire reports. Parent Cherly Onderchain told Fox News she was on the 'hit list', adding: 'Their goal is silence.'
According to Purdue University, critical race theory scholarship shows how racism continues to be persuasive and why it denies individuals their constitutional rights. It examines the way race and racism influences politics, culture and the law.
But critics say it leaves people exposed to the training feeling that they are being blamed for problems which they did not cause - such as slavery and Jim Crow - and that it is itself racially divisive.
Local teacher Jeremy Wright said: 'Minority students are going to suffer the most from this. When you teach students that the system is against them, they have no motivation to learn.'
Critical Race Theory's Anti-Semitism Problem
Critical race theory is a popular left-wing ideology that purports to explain the societal inequalities that prevent racial and ethnic minority groups from achieving social and economic success. While it presents itself as fighting prejudice, a closer look reveals that it is the driving force behind much of today's left-wing anti-Semitism.
The clearest example of this occurred last year at a Black Lives Matter protest in Washington, D.C. There were chants of "Israel, we know you murder children, too," and a Harvard student read a poem that called Israel "puppet master of continents," invoking the stereotype of evil Jews manipulating global politics.
The language used cannot be attributed to the folly of youth, as these stereotypes have also made their way into the halls of Congress.
In 2019, Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., paraphrased a popular rap lyric, "It's all about the Benjamins, baby," as she tweeted support for her anti-Israel politics. The tweet referred to money and Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and made use of the anti-Semitic trope that Jews and their money wield an outsized influence on politics.
Omar, a duly-elected U.S. congresswoman, embraced the age-old anti-Semitic narrative that wealthy, powerful Jews manipulate our political system for their own gain and against the common good. Left-wing proponents of critical race theory may see themselves as fighting oppression, but their ideology's logical conclusions are stereotypes and hatred that target the Jews.
Identity Politics and Critical Race Theory Have No Place in US Military
Sen. Tom Cotton, rightly angered that the Department of Defense is moving to indoctrinate U.S. military personnel in divisive critical race theory, has introduced a bill that would forbid it.
Like colleagues in the House who sent letters to Adm. Mike Gilday, the chief of naval operations, expressing severe disapproval of the Navy's decision to include books on critical race theory and other aspects of identity politics on professional reading lists, Cotton, R-Ark., and a former soldier, demonstrated he understands the corrosive effect that such teachings would have on the U.S military.
In 1968, civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. expressed his dream that one day people "will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." It is a powerful message consistently referenced by everyone who seeks true equality in diverse populations.
King, like so many before and since who have championed a unified people within our great American experiment, worked to replace identity by race, ethnic group, economic status, gender, or religion with a shared humanity that prizes mutual recognition and respect, regardless of the various characteristics that tend to segregate people by type.
Teens are More Pro-Life and Having Fewer Abortions Than Ever Before
OPINION BRAD MATTES MAR 25, 2021 | 6:30PM WASHINGTON, DC
Over time there has been a sharp decline in the number of pregnancies, births and abortions in America.
Those who support abortion are quick to claim that an increase in contraceptive use is responsible, however, the facts don't support this theory.
The real reason is much more encouraging.
Actually, one of the best sources of data on abortion is the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, originally founded as the research arm of Planned Parenthood. Recently, Guttmacher published statistics on the long-term rates of pregnancies, births and abortions.
Dr. Michael New, an associate scholar at Charlotte Lozier Institute, wrote an eye-popping analysis of the data provided in their report. It's such good news, I'd like to share some highlights with you.
Between 1980 and 2017 the data shows a long-term, jaw-dropping decline of over 82% in the abortion rate among females 15-19. At the same time, the abortion rate for women 35-39 dropped by only 8.5%. Adding to that impact were over 10% more pregnant females 15-19 who chose life for their babies.
But more importantly, teenagers are now much less likely to become pregnant. After peaking in 1990, the pregnancy rate for girls 15-19 dropped by 73%.
Dr. New credits the "substantial long-term decline in teen pregnancy" to the fact that between 1988 and 2015, more teens avoided sexual activity - 22% more boys and 9% more girls.
This is great news, worthy of headline coverage across the nation! However, it runs counter to the agenda of media gatekeepers who perpetuate a scheme of additional tax funding for Planned Parenthood and their failed programs.
