The Heritage Foundation just released a new report titled “Critical Race Theory, the New Intolerance, and It’s Grip on America,” which criticizes the concept for underpinning identity politics, and “normalizing” belief in systemic racism for the average American.
Here’s the report’s summary:
Critical Race Theory (CRT) makes race the prism through which its proponents analyze all aspects of American life—and do so with a degree of persistence that has helped CRT impact all of American life. CRT underpins identity politics, an ongoing effort to reimagine the United States as a nation riven by groups, each with specific claims on victimization. In entertainment, as well as the education and workforce sectors of society, CRT is well-established, driving decision-making according to skin color—not individual value and talent. As Critical Theory ideas become more familiar to the viewing public in everyday life, CRT’s intolerance becomes “normalized,” along with the idea of systemic racism for Americans, weakening public and private bonds that create trust and allow for civic engagement.
Thanks for watching.
