We should reject Critical Race Theory

Critical Race Theory inspires more problems than it solves. CRT is a racist way of thinking. It is a threat to constructive, rational dialogue. Institutions should reject any policies or anti-bias trainings that rely on CRT.

Supporting arguments · 3

  1. Critical Race Theory is racist
    Critical Race Theoriests view race as the defining factor of people and societies. Proponents of CRT automatically view every non-White person as oppressed and every White person as the oppressor--regardless of a person's circumstances.
  2. Critical Race Theory relies too much on narrative, not objectivity
    Critical Race Theory relies on people's stories and subjective experiences over objective inquiry. CRT relies on a single narrative--that racism is systemic and white people are in power--and rejects any ideas that may go against that defining narrative.
  3. Critical Race Theory is anti-American propaganda
    Critical Race Theory is an ideology that promotes hatred of America's founding principles of hard work, individualism, and equality. CRT has gone too far in indoctrinating Americans that the US is a racist country.
