CRT is a cancer on the Republic

 Phil King is a Texas State Representative.  He has written an opinion piece for the Epoch Times entitled Why I Oppose Critical Race Theory. The article is spot on, and everyone should read it.

Racism and prejudice are evils that we must always oppose—and oppose with vigilance. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. dreamed of a day when people would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Jesus put it another way: Simply treat others the way you want to be treated. There would be no prejudice, no racism, no injustice if we followed Jesus’s command.

That’s why I so strongly oppose CRT in our schools, government, and institutions. You see, CRT actually causes the very evils it’s alleged to reduce. It will, in fact, foster injustice and bias, not end it.

So, what’s wrong with CRT? To begin with, most people believe that CRT is all about race. It’s not. CRT defines people, actually judges people, by their group affiliation—most often skin color but also sex and economic status—rather than viewing them as individuals created in the image of God. Such division is the very heart of prejudice, discrimination, and racism.

It is important to note that the very existence of these Marxist attempts to create an us versus them, oppressors and oppressed, or in this case racial and sexual differences are the opposite of what God intends. For as He tells us, He knew us before the world began. When He says He knew us, He means each individual one of us. To treat others as members of a group goes against His teachings. Moreover, to see ourselves as primarily members of some group also goes against His will and teachings. We are all Americans.

Marxists (read Communists, Facsists, Progressives, Socialists, the oxymoronic Democratic Socialists, etc.) have always wanted to crush the United States. All such collectivist ideologies have failed many times in human history. Why? Because they fly in the face of human nature. Human nature is a thing, and it is immutable. The reason the Marxists are so desparate to demoralize and take over the United States is because it otherwise stands as a rebuke to every other regime on the earth. Why do you think people are rushing to our Southern border? Do you think the people doing so believe our country is racist? Of course they don't. And neither should we.

Go read King's piece at the Epoch Times. Encourage your representatives to introduce similar legislation in your state. CRT is a cancer on the Republic.
