Left-wing Lies

Every exit poll found that opposition to critical race theory in the schools was a top issue in the Virginia elections. It's critically important that everyone understands why.

There are two parts to critical race theory. One is that it teaches black children they are oppressed and cannot succeed because of the oppression. It teaches white children that they are oppressors, and must do "penance" for the "sin" of their skin color and the sins of their ancestors.

That's one element of CRT. In order to teach this, the second pillar of CRT comes into play, and that is teaching all children that America was evil at its founding. It teaches that our Founding Fathers were genocidal bigots who built America on stolen land. The country was fatally flawed from the beginning and remains "systemically racist" today. 

That's the whole point of the 1619 Project – to radically redefine America around the issues of race, slavery and genocide in order to convince decent people that America must be "fundamentally transformed" in the image of the left. 

These two themes of critical race theory are at the center of the American left today. Joe Biden, who is regularly held up as a "moderate," frequently pushes these themes. In the liberal media, these ideas are universally embraced as truths. 

Understanding this twisted mindset helps explain the unbelievable vitriol we have seen in the last 24 hours from virtually every commentator on "mainstream media" networks.

For example, MSNBC host Joy Reid explained the election results this way:

"You have to be willing to vocalize that these Republicans are dangerous. That this isn't a party that just . . . disagrees with us on tax policy. That at this point, they're dangerous. They're dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hard-core stuff."

Nicolle Wallace, who once worked for George W. Bush, whined that critical race theory "isn't real," but somehow the issue "turned the suburbs 15 points to the Trump insurrection endorsed Republican." 

One Washington Post writer blasted Youngkin for running a "repulsively cynical" campaign that was "built heavily around stoking white grievance with attacks on phantom critical race theory in schools." He added that "Youngkin and his allies have pumped that raw right-wing sewage directly into the minds" of voters.

Atlantic columnist Jemele Hill tweeted, "It's not the messaging, folks. This country simply loves white supremacy."

At a press conference yesterday, PBS reporter Yamiche Alcindor asked President Biden how Democrats could do a better job of winning, "especially since Republicans are now successfully running on . . . false claims about critical race theory." 

Once again, the left-wing media are lying through their teeth!

Critical race theory is real.

It is being taught in the schools.

In fact, it's so pervasive that it's impossible to opt-out because, according to one middle school "diversity resource teacher," it is "woven through in all classes."

The left today believes the only way it can survive is to stoke racial discord and destroy our children's love for America. That's why it constantly preaches that America is evil and insists that race must be the defining characteristic that drives everything we do. 

By definition, to the extent the left succeeds, America will suffer – America as we understand it will be destroyed.

Last night, Sen. Marco Rubio perfectly summed up the state of our union when he said, "It isn't even left or right anymore. It's crazy versus normal."
