CRT Opposition Grows Stronger, Bolder, and More Organized: ‘You Have to Fight Fire With Fire’
Florida | July 22, 2021
Despite growing opposition to critical race theory (CRT) and a growing number of states passing laws to ban it from classrooms, education and teachers’ unions are vowing to teach the controversial subject matter anyway. But one outspoken Florida mom says it’s time to “fight fire with fire.”
“I think parents have realized you have to fight fire with fire,” Quisha King told the Epoch Times. “You have to be as strong, as forceful, and as unrelenting as they are.”
King is the Florida mother who gained notoriety when she blasted the Duval County school board with strong opposition to CRT. In response to the National Education Association’s threat to go after those who dared oppose CRT, King said “bring it on.”
In an effort to help citizens fight back against the behemoth education system, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) is now distributing a 46-page booklet (pdf) teaching parents and students how to get organized in their effort to fight back.
As described on its website, “the United We Stand toolkit is part of TPPA’s campaign to encourage people to attend their local school board meetings to oppose CRT, and to urge a full return to in-classroom instruction.”….

Former President Trump Calls on All Republican Lawmakers to Ban Critical Race Theory
Florida | June 8, 2021
Former President Trump urged Republicans “at every level” throughout the county to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory (CRT) education.
“Republicans at every level should move to immediately ban critical race theory in schools, and we should ban it in workplaces, we should ban it in our states, and we should ban in the federal government. And it should be done immediately,” Trump said while speaking at the North Carolina Republican Party state convention.
Critical Race Theory is the far-left and widely-debunked conspiracy theory, which claims that the United States of America was built on slavery and other forms of racial discrimination, and is thus a fundamentally racist country. Further, the theory claims that all white people are automatically racist and carry inherent privilege due to their skin color.
Trump described these claims as “the exact opposite of the American belief that we are all created equal in the holy image of God.”
Further, he said the Biden administration is attempting to “indoctrinate America’s schoolchildren with poisonous and divisive left-wing doctrine.”..

Rep. Donalds Co-Sponsors Legislation to Combat Critical Race Theory
Florida | May 14, 2021
WASHINGTON—Today, Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined several of his Republican House colleagues in co-sponsoring two pieces of legislation introduced by Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT). Both pieces of legislation address the Biden Administration’s proposal to fund education programs informed by Critical Race Theory (CRT).
The paired legislation, which includes a bill that would restrict the teaching of Critical Race Theory within federal institutions and a resolution that highlights the dangers of teaching CRT in U.S. schools, underlines the systemic racism and damaging philosophy within this prejudicial ideological tool.
Upon introduction, Rep. Donalds said:
“Critical Race Theory is a warped ideology that seeks to divide Americans and relitigate the sins of the past by pinning White Americans against Black Americans, which is counterproductive and doesn’t belong anywhere near our children.
“America’s history regarding race is troublesome and deserves the proper attention, but we cannot allow for the degradation of American values and culture through so-called equity training. In the 21st century, we must teach and learn from our history and swear never to repeat it, but we cannot use our past to divide us, which Critical Race Theory will undoubtedly do…..

Disney Pushes ‘Critical Race Theory’ in Employee Training Materials
Florida | May 10, 2021
A new report claims the Walt Disney Company is pushing “critical race theory” on its employees as part of an internal training program, teaching them “race consciousness” and other concepts to address “systemic racism” in the U.S.
Manhattan Institute fellow Christopher Rufo on Friday published what he says are a “trove of whistleblower documents” detailing a program titled “Reimagine Tomorrow.”
Rudo also provides in his report what he says are primary-source documents that appear to be pages of a training manual…
