"Conservatives believe in these sorts of myths because they have been primed for over six decades to believe any and everything about the left."

“Critical Race Theory” Hysteria Is A “Satanic Panic”-Style Hoax From Fox News
The hysteria over critical race theory on the right is a hoax completely made up by Fox News in the style of the 1980s satanic panic.

In the 1980s, America thought Satanists were everywhere. They thought there were hidden lyrics in rock songs telling teenagers to kill themselves. They believed with all their hearts that there were rings of Satanists molesting children, and they even put innocent people on trial for these completely imagined crimes.

It was called “satanic panic” and there was no reality to it. I even ran into it myself as a kid in the 1980s when my late mother had very real worries and concerns that I was reading a sword and sorcery “Dungeons & Dragons” style book and she had heard through the grapevine that Satanists were using materials like that to recruit kids. She wasn’t alone. It was a thing.

Flash forward to 2021 and millions of Americans are now gripped with hysteria that their children are the target of an evil, insidious thing that is creeping into their schools and homes.

It’s called “critical race theory” and the truth behind the hysteria is that it is as fake as satanic panic, but potentially far more destructive to American life.
