Joe Biden Wants your Kids to Be Marxists.

• Position: AMERICAN THOUGHT

It is not just The New Yotk Times' 1619 Project and the Black Lives Matter organization that want schools to indoctrinate your children in Marxist ideology, it is the Biden Administration as well. In a closed rule making proceeding conducted by the Department of Education, the DOE proposed to provide Federal funding to support the teaching of critical race theory in the schools.

Critical race theory (CRT) is quite similar to Marxist critical theory. It teaches that all American institutions are systemically racist. CRT students are taught to hate their country's history, culture, government, and free market system, all of which are described as inherently and unavoidably racist.

Racism is a phantom that invades every white household and every salon in government or business. CRT reinforces racism by forcing children to focus on racial differences and to understand that those differences have unavoidable consequences that define one's status.

They are presumed to have grown up within an environment that necessarily identifies and treats people of color differently and regards themselves as superior or more deserving. No white person escapes the charge of being among the oppressors, and no person of color escapes the designation of being among the oppressed. In this faux reality, the child of color whose parents possess wealth nevertheless is oppressed when compared to the white child whose parents are poverty stricken.

In typical Marxist fashion, everyone is viewed in collectivist terms and no one escapes a forced categorization as oppressed or oppressor despite individual characteristics that defy logical association with one category or another. Individuality is shunned, so it is impossible for the child of...
