Rufo pointed out that the U.S. Conference of Mayors still endorses the Marxist racial theory, but because it is so deeply unpopular with most Americans, most politicians do not want to be associated with it.
American Greatness "The mayors of four major cities seemed to back away from sponsoring a resolution supporting critical race theory (CRT) in public K-12 schools after their support for the deeply unpopular ideology was made public on social media.
"The resolution, which was adopted by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, initially listed the following four mayoral sponsors: Louisville, Kentucky, Mayor Greg Fischer; Boise, Idaho, Mayor Lauren McLean; Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot; and Portland, Oregon, Mayor Ted Wheeler.
"According to the resolution, the “basic tenants” of CRT are: the “recognition that race is not biologically real, but it is socially constructed…”; “acknowledgment that racism is a normal feature of society and is embedded within systems and institutions…”; “rejection of popular understandings about racism, including claims of meritocracy, colorblindness, and arguments that confine racism to a few bad apples…”; and “recognition of the relevance of people’s everyday lives to scholarship, embracing the lived experiences of people of color … and rejecting deficit-informed research that excludes the epistemologies of people of color…”
"The resolution concludes by stating that “the nation’s mayors support the implementation of CRT in the public education curriculum to help engage our youth in programming that reflects an accurate, complete account of BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, (and) People of Color] history, and that the U.S. Conference of Mayors supports access to equitable programs that reflect history, decrease achievement gaps, and better ensure that BIPOC students receive resources that ensure their success upon the completion of their primary education.' ”. . .
