This essay highlights the dangers of Critical Race Theory (CRT) to children's mental development by illustrating its radical departure from Enlightenment principles, which emphasize reason and equal rights. According to historian Allen C. Guelzo, CRT propagates the idea that all White individuals are inherently oppressors, undermining democratic ideals and fostering a worldview rooted in systemic racism.
Guelzo argues that CRT's rejection of reason and inquiry dismisses any questioning as part of a mechanism of oppression, thereby instilling a mindset that could promote division rather than understanding. This unchallengeable stance could drive societal groups toward extreme ideologies, potentially inciting conflict and violence. Furthermore, the framework of CRT advocates for discrimination as a remedy for past injustices, which contradicts the fundamental principles of equality championed by the civil rights movement.
In summary, the adoption of CRT in educational settings could harm children's cognitive and moral development by promoting a divisive and uncritical worldview, ultimately obstructing their ability to engage thoughtfully with complex social issues. This approach to education raises concerns about fostering indoctrination rather than critical thinking, making CRT a perilous influence on young minds.
What can the average parent do? Well, we spoke with Mr. Ken Abramowitz of the Citizens for National Security and a vocal critic of CRT and he put together a "checklist" for you.
