Critical Race Theory is the latest lightning rod for controversy in classrooms and school board meetings across America. This controversial doctrine, created on college campuses by academics who bill themselves as anti-racist, has come under fire for its insistence that America is institutionally racist and that people are inherently oppressive or oppressed based on skin color.
The History
Critical Race Theory stems from the collective work of several scholars in the 1970s and 1980s. The late Derrick Bell , an esteemed civil rights attorney and Harvard Law’s first Black tenured professor, wrote the 1973 book “Race, Racism, and American Law,” which would later become known as a founding text of the movement. When Bell left Harvard Law in 1980, The Atlantic reports, “the school no longer offered a course specifically addressing race.”
To remedy the scholar’s absence, per the Harvard Law Record , two students – Kimberle Crenshaw and Mari Matsuda – created an “Alternative Course” in 1983 that was based on Bell’s book. Each week of the course brought a new scholar to campus to teach on “Racism and the American law.” One of those scholars, Richard Delgado, would go on to become a professor at the University of Alabama School of Law, where he authored another major text on Critical Race Theory, titled “Critical Race Theory: An Introduction.” Matsuda would go on to become a professor at the University of Hawaii’s law school ; Crenshaw holds professorships at Columbia Law School and UCLA.
Today’s leading critical race theorists have joined the movement’s founders on college campuses: Robin DiAngelo , author of “White Fragility,” is tenured at Westfield State and teaches at the University of Washington. Professor Ibram X. Kendi , author of “How to Be an Antiracist” – one of the most popular college summer reading books of the past two years – runs the Center for Antiracist Research at Boston University.

Leaders in the field describe their ideology in sharp terms. According to Ibram X. Kendi, “The only remedy to past discrimination is anti-racist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
