What Republicans Have To Do
To Get Critical Race Theory Out Of Public Schools


Republicans have to start hacking the education bureaucracy to pieces.
As Trump has realized, perhaps the chief way to do that is to starve these public enemies of public funds.

President Trump is bringing some attention to the connections between this summer’s riots, the 63 percent of young Americans who believe America is racist, and the disaster that is civics and history instruction in U.S. public schools. He recently announced a federal commission to counter the saturation of anti-American ideology in American education institutions through “patriotic education.” He also “threatened to cut funding to schools that teach the 1619 Project.”

This is a start, but it’s going to take a lot more to address this serious problem. Significant structural changes are required, and state-level elected officials need to do most of it. Since schooling that teaches children to hate their own nation threatens its very existence, it’s past time to get serious about this.

The examples are myriad and expansive, and they are not limited to deep-blue locales (as if indoctrination is okay if local politicians approve). The College Board’s changes to its U.S. and European history Advanced Placement curriculum, which more than 800,000 American high school students take each year, are one major example.

Crazy Leftism Isn’t ‘Just’ In Higher Ed Any More

Because the College Board’s main selling point is making it possible for kids to earn college credit in high school, its courses both reflect the politicization of American academia and push that politicization into K-12. It is designed to reflect what the neo-Marxist, anti-American higher education-sphere teaches about American and world history.

Numerous K-12 school systems engineer their curricula to build up to AP classes in high school. Thus, although it is a private institution, College Board is highly, highly influential in determining what American children learn, and what it teaches is warped.

Its curriculum revamp a few years ago more deeply reflected academia’s anti-Western, anti-American bias. College Board removed Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Andrew Jackson from its curricula several years before protesters started tearing down their statues.

The bent of its curricula is to teach America’s best and brightest students to see their country and the Western heritage as racist, sexist, imperialist, and so on — as a story of oppressors and victims. It is not as blatantly offensive as critical race theory, but holds and imparts the exact same underlying anti-West, anti-American philosophy.

Obviously, such efforts to prejudice young Americans against their own country have been highly successful. We are now seeing the results on our Main Streets.

Using Public Resources to Support Anti-Americanism

This is just one prominent example of how deeply anti-Americanism is embedded in American public education. More abound, happening everywhere, all the time. It recently came out that Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia paid $20,000 to leading race-baiter Ibram X. Kendi for a one-hour webinar. Just last week in a Wisconsin school district, parents complained that their high-school son was asked in class to equate American police officers with Nazis because of George Floyd.
