A critical race theorist whose “anti-racist” writing and teaching have sparked criticism about perpetuating racism will speak Wednesday night at a conference by the American Federation of Teachers, one of the country’s most influential labor unions.
The speaker, Ibram Kendi, is a Boston University humanities professor and author of the books “How to Be an Antiracist” and “Antiracist Baby.”
His ideas have attracted support and criticism. Kendi argues people who are not actively working to combat racism are racist and that young children should discuss the concept of anti-racism, according to the Epoch Times .
Critical race theory focuses on race and alleged racism. Proponents describe the theory as exploring uncomfortable truths about America and its people. Critics argue the theory is racist and injects an anti-American worldview into institutions, particularly schools, also reports the Epoch Times .
First lady Jill Biden is scheduled to attend the event and speak to AFT members.

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!
