There is a lot going on in our nation that has sparked a lot of uneasiness.
Not only do we have to worry about Joe Biden thrusting America into World War 3, but also rising inflation, gas prices, and supply chain issues.
Those are all serious issues, but there are still others that need to be addressed.
Over the recent years, attention has been brought to critical race theory which has sparked widespread debate.
There are many supporters on the left claiming that it is a necessary tool for teachers to use when addressing the supposed ills of institutionalized racism.
A growing number of conservatives, however, insist that it is evidence of a plot to indoctrinate students with progressive propaganda.
Donald Trump has long been a vocal opponent of the movement.
He has recently expressed even more serious concerns, though.
During a recent campaign-style rally, he urged members of the crowd to fight diligently against the perceived ills of CRT.
As Newsweek reported:
During the rally, Trump invoked CRT as being a “matter of national survival,” calling on his supporters to fight to keep it “out of our schools.”
“We have no choice. The fate of any nation ultimately depends on the willingness of its citizens to lay down and they must do this—lay down their very lives to defend their country,” he said. “If we allow the Marxists and commies and socialists to teach our children to hate America, there will be no one left to defend our flag or to protect our great country or its freedom.”
The usual gang of Trump-hating pundits railed against his latest remarks.
Of course, plenty of Americans shares Trump’s serious concerns about the impact CRT can have on future generations.
Asian-Americans have been let down by legacy & establishment AAPI civil rights groups. Those groups are politically compromised & are led by young people indoctrinated by #CRT. They can only blame white supremacy while our elders are being robbed, beaten & killed. #StopAsianHate https://t.co/4uNs3D91zm

The way to win elections right now is to stand up for America's parents.
❌ NO to Gender Ideology in schools
❌ NO to CRT in schools
❌ NO to changing kids' identities without parent permission
✅ YES to full transparency with parents when teaching sexuality to kids https://t.co/Mb9lXU5kf4— Abigail Shrier (@AbigailShrier) March 11, 2022
Found out my son’s kindergarten teacher is “teaching” CRT to his class. I’ve enrolled him in homeschooling, quit my job and will now be focusing on his schooling.
What his teacher did is nothing short of child abuse. If you find your child in the same position, HELP THEM.

Some critics of CRT argue that the negative consequences can include endangering the lives of white students.
One mother in Virginia recently blamed the ideology for her son’s suicide.

Breitbart provided the details:
A Fairfax County, Virginia, mom gave a heartbreaking speech in front of the school board Thursday night, telling the story of how her son committed suicide because “he thought that all of the oppression was his fault.”
“My son Robert took his life because he thought that all of the oppression was his fault,” mother Cindy Walsh began. “No one wants you to stop teaching black history, but please do not do it in a way that makes his life worth any less.”
“My son was not responsible for everyone’s problems,” she continued, referencing a central theme of critical race theory that maintains white persons are inherently oppressive and minorities are inherently oppressed. “His success did not mean anyone else had to fail. His life mattered. He was important and valued.”
Here’s a video clip featuring Trump’s full remarks on the topic earlier this week.
