Critical Race Theory

[underpants]

1. CRT is teaching Emmanuel Goldstein levels on the right

Fox has mentioned it 1,300 times since March.

Fox has admitted its reason for this souped-up coverage: the 2022 midterm elections. And in order to drum up outrage, the network has repeatedly amplified a lie that critical race theory teaches that one race is “inherently superior to another.” More recently, in its continued efforts to demonize it, Fox News has promoted a pamphlet that echoes the white nationalist “Great Replacement” conspiracy theory.

Fox’s obsession with what it defines as “critical race theory” has frequently crossed the threshold into the absurd and overly dramatic. Fox host Tucker Carlson called it “a cult,” while host Will Cain said it is “modern-day Jim Crow.” Fox contributor Miranda Devine claimed that teaching the theory would “warp the minds of American children'' and “is a recipe for social upheaval and mental illness.” Fox’s Newt Gingrich said it was being driven by “people who want to brainwash your child.”

3. The Right is using CRT as one more wedge to further divide the nation.

They use any tool possible to weaken the nation in the hopes of establishing an exclusive state, of the white people, by the white people and for the white people. The right sees it as a white Christian civil war and they know that Gott Mit Uns. With God and Trump on their side, they believe that they can win and Make America Great again.

The right, purposely skewing the meaning of the term, choose to interpret CRT (as well as BLM and ANTIFA) as a direct attack on White people. To the right, CRT is just further evidence that they are under attack from the untermensch, and proof that they need to be prepared for war to save the country and the master race. For many on the right, the war has already begun and the first pitched battle was the Battle for the Capitol.

BLM and ANTIFA have been cooling in the news cycle lately. The right wing "press" has been inserted CRT to keep the temperature up.
