The Babylon Bee Guide To Critical Race Theory

  The Babylon Bee

"Back in the good old days, CRT just stood for "cathode ray tube," as in, "Ugh, I've gotta pack up my giant CRT monitor and lug it over to Bert's LAN party." 

"But no more! Now, it stands for "Critical Race Theory" apparently. Everyone's talking about it, so now we've got to google it and find out what it means. After extensive googling, here's what we found out about CRT:

"Origins: God made everything good, and then this snake showed up in the Garden of Eden and was like, “Why can’t you have the fruit from that tree over there?” and the sins of pride, jealousy and all the rest were born, sowing the seeds for critical race theory. More recently, people were discontent with their lives despite living in the most prosperous time in human history and had to come up with something to be upset about, so they invented CRT in order to find discontentment and oppression in every situation.

"Beliefs: People are inherently good or evil based on the color of their skin. There are some other minor details like wanting to topple Western Civilization, categorizing people into classes of oppressor and oppressed, and eliminating the individual in favor of group identities, but yeah. The hating people for the color of their skin is most of it.

"Prominent adherents: Robin DiAngelo, Ibram X. Kendi, the aforementioned snake in the garden.

"Opponents: Thomas Sowell, America, the gospel of Jesus Christ.

"How to spot a CRT adherent: Look for someone who is obsessed with race, always talking about it, tweeting about it, and screaming at other people about it. It's a clear sign of a CRT disciple." . . .

Left Explodes Over 60 Minutes Story on Young People Who Regret Transitioning

  (legalinsurrection.com)

“I can’t believe that I transitioned and detransitioned, including hormones and surgery, in the course of, like, less than one year. It’s completely crazy.”

"A recent 60 Minutes segment talked about red states denying hormones and surgery to transgender youth. However, the news program made the grave mistake of including a part about young people who regret transitioning.

"The left is furious that 60 Minutes included dissenting voices.

"The Daily Wire has details:

60 Minutes Runs Explosive Segment Featuring Young Transgender Individuals Who Decided To Reverse Course

Lockheed Martin grovels before the PC crowd

There are so very many slights given to black society; Not just the cruelties in the form of insults and disrespect to individuals, but of demeaning the very qualities of black mothers and fathers in the presence of their friends and families. 

Can anyone watch an old black and white movie that shows African Americans with wide-eyed amazement at everyday things they do not understand, giving all others joy and laughter at their expense? Everything they did was to amuse whites, they having been born for such a role. 

Those of us shamed over this disrespect of people who deserve honor and dignity as family leaders and role models want very much to have them receive all that. 

What about this course would have made Reginald Denny safe from the Rodney King rioters who broke his skull into scores of pieces? Will it turn the angry scowls of activists like Sharpton, Waters, and the mob of Democrats in Congress into polite greetings?

 If a white person walks past a group of young black males will they no longer feel fear of injury or death at their hands? Will business owners feel free to build commercial projects that will employ people in "non- privileged" areas without fear of anti-white riots burning them down?

At least some elements of society must do their part but resist the vindictive and demeaning efforts of the politically correct masters. 

 The trainers reportedly linked the “roots of white male culture” to traits including a “can-do attitude” and “hard work” which can ultimately have “devastating” effects for women and minorities.

National Review: Lockheed Martin Put Executives Through Training to Unlearn ‘White Male Privilege’: Report  . . . “ 'This is pure neoracism from a company that receives billions of taxpayer dollars every year,” Rufo said in a tweet thread sharing his reporting. “I call on the United States Senate to launch an immediate inquiry into the racist practices at @LockheedMartin. We must shut this down before it endangers our national security.' ”

NY Post: The participants from Lockheed Martin engaged in activities over Zoom that included a “free association” exercise in which the term “white men” was equated to “old,” “racist,” “privileged,” “anti-women,” “angry,” “Aryan Nation” and “KKK,” the City Journal reported Wednesday.

Ted Cruz Gets ATF Nominee to Admit Just How Much He and Biden Want to Take Our Guns

 RedState

. . . "Chipman claims the AR-15 is a “particularly lethal weapon.” Pray tell, please tell us how? This is a statement meant to play to the ignorance — it’s not a machine gun, it fires one bullet per trigger pull. It’s popular because it’s light and easily adaptable. But there are far more deadly things than the AR-15.

"But basically, that’s an excuse to grab the most popular weapon in the country. And if they can do that, they can grab any gun.

"It means this nominee has no understanding of or respect for the Constitution and neither does Joe Biden." . . .

Stop Saying 'People of Color' When You Mean Black | Opinion

. . . "But the national conversation hasn't been perfect. Far from it. And we've noticed one particular penchant that we feel requires correction: the use of the term "people of color" when what you mean is Black" . . .

Dad who wrote scathing letter to Brearley about race focus: ‘Someone had to’

“I object to the view that I should be judged by the color of my skin. I cannot tolerate a school that not only judges my daughter by the color of her skin, but encourages and instructs her to prejudge others by theirs. By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race.”

 NY Post

"A father fed up with an elite Manhattan prep school’s heavy-handed focus on race won’t re-enroll his daughter in the fall, accusing the school of trying to “brainwash” kids with woke philosophies rather than teaching them how to think on their own.

"In a scathing 1,700-word letter Andrew Gutmann mailed to 650 families — a screed since gone viral —  he blasted the posh, all-girls Brearley School’s “cowardly and appalling lack of leadership [for] appeasing an anti-intellectual, illiberal mob.”

"The April 13 missive  —  published this week on journalist  Bari Weiss’  blog —  became public the same day the headmaster of the famed Dalton School resigned over controversial “anti-racism”  curriculum and policies that had outraged many parents.

"Chelsea Clinton, Tina Fey, Drew Barrymore and Steve Martin are among those with daughters enrolled at Brearley. Tuition is $54,000 per year. Famous alumnae of the 761-student, K-12 school include Caroline Kennedy, Jill Clayburgh, Téa Leoni and Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney.

"Gutmann’s treatise listed 10 “objections” and generally decried the Upper East Side institution’s obsession with race.

“ 'By viewing every element of education, every aspect of history, and every facet of society through the lens of skin color and race, we are desecrating the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,” he wrote, saying the policies encourage kids to judge, and be judged, by the color of their skin." . . .

The letter: "This letter is a must-read.

"Friday, Bari Weiss posted a letter written by Andrew Gutman, explaining why he pulled his daughter out of Brearley School. Gutman sent the letter to nearly 600 families whose children are enrolled in the private school.

"Brearley is an all-girls school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It takes $54,000 a year to attend along with a bogus “anti-racism pledge,” per Weiss.

"You can accurately guess from the pledge that the school isn’t about ending racism, but demanding its students develop a narrow, only see people by their skin color mindset.

Sean Lennon Blasts 'Woke' Leftists: 'Whites Are Not the Problem'; Political correctness has resulted in a racist backlash

 Neon Nettle

"I literally saw political correctness being invented right in front of me (at certain schools) and then distributed and eventually enforced as a mindset and ideology," he explained.

Sean Ono Lennon gave a brutal critique of political correctness emanating from the 'woke' left in a series of tweets.

Lennon, who is the son of late Beatles icon John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono, said political correctness has triggered a racist backlash and, as a result, has made race relations worse.

Lennon tweeted:

"When I was young ppl used to say racist s*** about Asians around me all the time and then be like 'Oh sorry!"

 

"But you're not reeeally Asian so…' and I think they sincerely thought that would make me feel better.

 

"I'm not exactly sure why I brought that up but I think it's because I want to say that I grew up in a time when there was zero political correctness.". . .

 

Are leftists capable of this today? I fear so!

RedState  "While our president is doing interviews with drag-queen Youtubers and answering questions about skin care, there are real problems going on out in the world. Most of that responsibility has fallen to Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who has attempted to reinstall the Obama world order of weakness and chaos in record time.

"Blinken has already been embarrassed by China after bending the knee to their human rights abuses, citing cultural differences. Apparently, Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu isn’t impressed either. He threw down the gauntlet over the Iran issue, letting it be known that Israel won’t stand by while the Mullahs get nuclear weapons.

"Here’s the statement via Fox News.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that the United States should avoid rejoining the Iran nuclear deal, one of President Biden’s campaign promises.

“I can tell you that I hope that the United States will not go back to the old JCPOA because we believe that that deal paves the way for Iran to have an arsenal of nuclear weapons with international legitimacy,” Netanyahu said, referencing the acronym for the nuclear deal, formally called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

“ 'We also reiterated that whatever happens, Israel will always reserve the right to defend itself against a regime committed to our destruction, committed to getting the weapons of mass destruction for that end,” the Israeli prime minister added." . 

 

Rand Paul receives chilling death threat as white powder and pic of him with RIFLE to his head sent to Senator’s home

 UK Sun  "SENATOR Rand Paul received a mysterious package filled with white powder at his Kentucky home on Monday, prompting the FBI to investigate its contents and the threatening image that came with it.

"The Republican received an enveloped with a photo of himself bruised and bandaged. Next to Paul's face on the image include a gun to his head with the words: "I'll finish what your neighbor started you motherf----r."

. . . "The image itself was referring to a 2017 assault on Paul by his neighbor Rene Boucher.

"Boucher broke five of Paul's ribs and eventually pled guilty to assaulting a Congressmember.

"In August last year, Paul and his wife Kelley had a close call when a group of people surrounded them as they ventured back to their hotel room after the Republican National Convention.

"Paul also was in the news this week for saying he would not be getting the Covid-19 vaccine." . . .

Kelley Paul Unleashes on Dems for Encouraging Violence Against Her Husband  . . . "Even more than that, Kelley Paul shouldn’t have to see Democrats and liberal blue-check Twitter encouraging violence against her husband or cheering attacks against him without any consequence for their actions, as she explains. Not even a Twitter suspension. She names names and goes after a Democratic PAC she thinks has been promoting some of this." . . .

Just this weekend. For years people like @BetteMidler have cheered Rand’s horrific attack and serious injuries. The former teacher of the year @RodRobinsonRVA tweeted that Rand’s attacker was a “hero” and urged Mitch McConnell’s neighbors to “step up”. Why is he still teaching?

. . . Robinson said it was a “bad joke” and he’s still teaching.

"That was only one of the attacks on Paul. Paul was also at the GOP baseball practice that was shot up by a Bernie Bro trying to kill Republicans. Paul and his wife were also pushed around and threatened by a BLM crowd last year. "  Read more here

When does psychotherapist patient privilege apply in a criminal case?  "But it is still a “confidential communication” to which the psychotherapist-patient privilege applies. That is because all of these people were involved in supporting Irina’s treatment. A criminal defendant may not claim the therapist-patient privilege when he has voluntarily made his mental state an issue in the criminal case."
