President Joe Biden made it one of his first priorities after his inauguration to issue an executive order ending former President Donald Trump’s ban on federal seminars and trainings indoctrinating CRT, which many argue promotes racial divisions and tensions.
Unity vs. disunity?
Battling CRT as an agent used to promote racial disunity and the destruction of America’s Judeo-Christian values and institutions, journalist and researcher, Christopher F. Rufo – often credited for waging a “one-man war” against CRT – announced that a “new coalition of law firms and legal foundations” is waging a court battle against trainings that he argues are tearing America apart at the seams.
“Critical race theory is a grave threat to the American way of life,” Rufo contends in his news release, according to The Western Journal. “It divides Americans by race and traffics in the pernicious concepts of race essentialism, racial stereotyping and race-based segregation – all under a false pursuit of ‘social justice.’ Critical race theory training programs have become commonplace in academia, government and corporate life – where they have sought to advance the ideology through cult-like indoctrination, intimidation and harassment.”
He revealed that the Stop Critical Race Theory coalition recently filed three lawsuits against public institutions that are administering CRT programs, with more suits to follow in state and federal courts in the months to come.
“[The trainings] perpetuate racial stereotypes, compel discriminatory speech and create hostile work environments [and these programs] violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the United States Constitution,” Rufo contended. “The conservative legal movement and a network of private attorneys are gearing up for war against critical race theory. We will fight and we will win.”
The Stop Critical Race Theory coalition is being spearheaded by the Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth and Poverty, and includes the Southeastern Legal Foundation; the Upper Midwest Law Center; Jonathan O’Brien with Schooolhouserights.org; The Pivtorak Law Firm; Wally Zimolong, LLC; and Eric Early and Peter Scott of Early, Sullivan, Wright, Gizer, and McCrae.
Misrepresenting the ban
It was pointed out by The Western Journal that the pro-Biden mainstream media and other leaders on the left have inaccurately presented Trump’s ban because his order allowed various diversity curriculum confronting bigoted discrimination, while only banned controversial teachings.
This false narrative was seen an article recently published by one of America’s leading newspapers, which indicated that the topic of racism was altogether banned.
“Biden reversed his predecessor’s diversity training ban that restricted the federal government and its contractors from curriculum that explored race and gender bias,” USA Today reported Wednesday.
The daily went on to quote far-left activists chastising Trump and lauding Biden, including America’s leading pro-LGBT legal firm, which was one of the first LGBT rights groups to file a lawsuit against Trump’s executive order in November.
“The Trump administration’s effort to quash any discussion of the continued pernicious impact of structural racism, implicit bias and sexism in U.S. society was both gratuitous and harmful,” Lambda Legal Counsel Scott Schoettes expressed in a statement, according to USA Today. “Joe Biden campaigned on a promise to confront these issues, [and] today, the Biden Administration has reaffirmed its commitment to undertake an honest and long overdue reckoning with sexism and structural racism in our society.”
Trump defended his ban on the controversial training during his first presidential debate with Biden.
“They were teaching people that our country is a horrible place – it’s a racist place,” Trump said during the debate, according to USA Today. “And they were teaching people to hate our country. And I’m not gonna allow that to happen.”
Forbes also reportedly misrepresented the facts, reporting that, “Biden reversed Trump’s ban on diversity training at federal agencies and federal contractors,” when many such trainings were still allowed that did not contain controversial ideas.
Biden’s removal of Trump’s program – the 1776 Commission that provided curriculum teaching patriotism and a respect for Judeo-Christian values and principles upon which the U.S was founded – was also mentioned.
“The 1776 Commission – the Trump’s administration’s rebuttal of the New York Times 1619 Project – was dismantled and the website was immediately taken down,” Forbes added.
Are we inherently the same or fundamentally different?
A key criticism of CRT was highlighted.Bottom of Form
“Some of the ideas taught within critical race theory include race essentialism, meaning a person’s race is a core ‘essence’ of who they are; racial stereotyping and scapegoating, as seen in the ‘white privilege’ narrative; and systemic racism – an unprovable theory often criticized for blaming complicated, multifaceted issues on ‘racism’ without providing any substantive evidence of bias,” The Western Journal recounted.
Russell Vought – who served as the director of the White House Office of Management and Budget when Trump’s ban on CRT seminars was enforced last year – gave the administration’s reasoning for its action.
“It has come to the President’s attention that Executive Branch agencies have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to date ‘training’ government workers to believe divisive, anti-American propaganda,” Vought wrote in a memorandum. “For example, according to press reports, employees across the Executive Branch have been required to attend trainings where they are told that ‘virtually all white people contribute to racism’ or where they are required to say that they ‘benefit’ from racism. According to press reports, in some cases these training[s] have further claimed that there is racism embedded in the belief that America is the land of opportunity or the belief that the most qualified person should receive a job.”
The memo went to direct all agencies to end training that pushes the claim that “the United States is an inherently racist or evil country [or] that any race or ethnicity is inherently racist or evil.”
Promise of unity already broken?
The following flurry of executive actions and orders Biden signed on his first day are moves that most conservatives view as being anything but unifying:
- Sent a reform bill to Congress giving illegal aliens an eight-year path to citizenship and provide immediate green cards to DREAMERs
- Ended funds Trump diverted from the Pentagon to build the southern border wall
- Stopped deportations of illegal immigrants for 100 days
- Reversed Trump’s travel ban from nations harboring Islamic terrorism
- Revoked Trump’s attempt to exclud illegal aliens from U.S. Census
- Rejoined WHO (World Health Organization) after Trump departed over its COVID-19 coverup for China
- Revoked permits for Keystone XL Pipeline (killing more than 10,000 jobs)
- Ended 1776 Commission teaching patriotism and love for country
- Ended Trump’s ban on controversial diversity training at federal agencies
- Stringent mask and social distancing mandate on federal lands for federal employees and contractors
GOP Strategist Karl Rove called Biden out for his far-left executive actions that he indicated were tailored to appease the left and attack the right and America’s saftey and success.
“[Biden’s actions don’t] add much oomph to his ‘unity’ message,” Rove told Fox News in an interview.
Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) said Biden canceling the Keystone pipeline cost America 10,000 blue-collar jobs and makes the country “less energy secure,” according to Forbes.
Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) criticized Biden’s new open-borders immigration plan, saying, “A mass amnesty with no safeguards and no strings attached is a nonstarter,” as reported by Forbes.

They should develop a vaccine to combat “Critical Race Theory” and inject it directly into the airspace, between the ears, of the liberal communists. Dr. Fauci can prescribe masks, that seal the mouth of liberals, so they cannot spread the virus known as “Critical Race Theory”!
Democrats AGAIN point one finger out and three point back at them. Critical race theory (CRT), which teaches that racism plagues every facet of American society is the middle finger pointed at race blind Americans of integrity, but is the very (CRT) espoused by the Democrats which are the three fingered proof that is plaguing every facet of American Society, turning race against race in division, hatred, envy, and malice. What they claim to unite in open equality only separates the wolves from the sheep by sex & skin color, not by the quality of their now offered Chicago community organized/originated political pandemic infected meat of a quality worse than described in Upton Sinclair’s novel “The Jungle” where when rats and even employees fell into the meat processing machines, the people who ran those Democrat run South side Chicago meat plants just let the production lines keep running, and who knows what was fed to my own Chicago area raised family back them? Critical Race Theory is critical only to self-serving “Dyspeptic Democrats” whose Socialist ideology is on the critical list for extinction by pathological power seekers bent on spreading the very social indigestion and social irritability that leads sane self-governing people into fits of depression, who then are forced to turn to “Doctor Democrat” for the cure of the very disease they injected into their very persons, claiming to be the cure, not the cause of the debilitations they bring to America.
What’s needed, is an innoculation to combat LIBTARDISM.. If that’s even possible.
I remember affirmative action in 74 and 75 while trying to become a LEO in Miami. This is tantamount to the same thing I am reading hear. Let’s treat people different because they lack the education or you want to pigeon hole them in life.
At least Affirmative action didn’t work, to TOTALLY AND UTTERLY turn whites, into modern day lepers of society.. LIKE CRT is now doing.
I give the Democrats less than 2 years to totally screw up the USA, then the GOP will gain control of the House and Senate.
And what makes you think, EVEN IF THEY DID some how win back control of the house OR senate, THEY WILL DO ANYTHIG different than what they’ve been doing for decades, CAVING IN TO EVERY LIBTARD agenda there is?!
