To Not Teach Critical Race Theory, Is Child Abuse
On February 10, 2021, there was a zoom meeting with the teachers of the Beaverton School District, Oregon. The title of the meeting was,
EQUITY ABAR SUMMIT - If Not You, Then Who.
One of the teachers recorded the zoom meeting and recently posted the 44-minute meeting on YouTube. Here is the whole video,

Notice the participants shaking their heads in agreement as a teacher says,
“I’m going to say something that is not nice and not sweet, but it’s true. If you’re not evolving into an anti-racist educator, you’re making yourself obsolete in this field of profession. Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children. Obviously, you can’t change your melanin, alright, but you can change your mind, so that you can actually function in a district that is full of BIPOC children. So if you’re being resistant, I understand that but eventually you’re going to have to come to the light. Because if you’re going to come with those old views of colonialism, it’s going to lead to being fired, because you’re going to be doing damage to our children — trauma. So, as we fire the children who sexually abuse our children, we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children and traumatize them. And, while our district might not be completely on there, OEA [Oregon Education Association, the teachers’ union] is working on it, alright? NEA [National Education Association, the teachers’ union] is working on it.“
Later in the video the same teacher continues with,
“It’s just a matter of time. You either evolve or dissolve.”
If you think CRT is only happening in Oregon, you need to crawl out from under the rock you are living under. Take the time to find out if your school system is teaching CRT. If they are, it is time to voice your concerns and shut it down - It is child abuse!
To make Marxism or Fascism work, you need to break down the middle class or as Marx called them,
"the bourgeoisie". Let us review what has to be eliminated for authoritarian regimes to prosper,
1)
The Family: Marx writes,
"On what foundation is the present family, the bourgeois family, based? On capital, on private gain. In its completely developed form, this family exists only among the bourgeoisie,” He continues, "The bourgeois family will vanish as a matter of course when its complement vanishes, and both will vanish with the vanishing of capital.”2)
Individuality: Marx wrote,
"In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality,” he wrote. “And the abolition of this state of things is called by the bourgeois, abolition of individuality and freedom! And rightly so. The abolition of bourgeois individuality, bourgeois independence, and bourgeois freedom is undoubtedly aimed at.”3)
Eternal Truths: Marx wrote,
“The ruling ideas of each age have ever been the ideas of its ruling class,” he argued. “When the ancient world was in its last throes, the ancient religions were overcome by Christianity. When Christian ideas succumbed in the 18th century to rationalist ideas, feudal society fought its death battle with the then revolutionary bourgeoisie.”4)
Nation States: Marx wrote,
“National differences and antagonism between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto.”5)
The Past: Marx wrote,
“In bourgeois society,” the past dominates the present; in Communist society, the present dominates the past.”Karl Marx's Plan for the bourgeoisie You get what you deserve when you do nothing - JohnyMac
