Americans should be under no illusions about the goals of these organizations that support critical race theory. Jonathan Butcher writes:
A parent of two living in Texas, Rebekah Randall was furious when her son’s teacher implied that the only place her child could learn the answers to cultural questions involving racial identity was at school. They made the “implication that my children would never receive this education in our home,” Randall told me in an interview.
Yet teachers in her son’s school had twisted valuable lessons about treating people the way you want to be treated, Randall explains. They had been “putting race as the most important part of someone’s identity,” one of critical race theory’s main ideas, she says.
“You are racializing children to identify one another,” Randall told her son’s teachers. Her son’s school had put a book list on the school’s website that included “Woke Baby,” which describes an infant stretching in the morning as “reaching for justice” like a “panther” (a not-so-subtle nod to violent activists from the 1960s).
