LTRP Note: In December of 2019, Lighthouse Trails first alerted its readers to Critical Race Theory and its entering the church with our article titled “Southern Baptist Convention Adopts “Critical Race Theory”—A Dangerous Marxist “Solution” That Will Not Work.” Later, in the summer of 2020, we released a booklet addressing Critical Race Theory and the church. The following out-of-house news story is posted for informational and research purposes.

Republicans in at least seven states have introduced proposals that would ban the teaching concepts of the quasi-Marxist critical race theory (CRT). The measures range from banning government agencies from conducting training based on the theory to prohibiting the incorporation of the concepts into school curricula.
The efforts follow President Joe Biden’s reversal of last year’s executive order by President Donald Trump that banned federal agencies, contractors, subcontractors, and grantees from instructing their employees to follow CRT tenets.
CRT has gradually proliferated in recent decades through academia, government structures, school systems, and the corporate world. It redefines human history as a struggle between the “oppressors” (white people) and the “oppressed” (everybody else), similarly to Marxism’s reduction of history to a struggle between the “bourgeoisie” and the “proletariat.” It labels institutions that emerged in majority-white societies as racist and “white supremacist.” Click here to continue reading.

Teaching hate, whatever the excuse for doing so, is just repugnant. Children don’t naturally hate; they have to be taught that. They don’t see melanin levels as anything but “different”, not evil. They also have to be taught to be perpetual “victims”, rather that victors. To intentionally do that can only come from self-hate, and “misery loves company”, aswell as a desire to control others through division. But what sad, pathetic, miserable people those promoting this must be. They so desperately need the very Jesus they so vigorously reject.
