Critical Race Theory Handbook

     “But Critical Race Theory is just a legal theory” the refrain has become, “and isn’t about pedagogy and education!!1!” Funny, then, how many primary texts exist that, by their very titles, state otherwise. Case in point: “Handbook of Critical Race Theory in Education”, edited by Marvin Lynn and Adrienne D. Dixson.

Remember, though! Critical Race Theory "isn't in schools!"

This book is a gold mine of Critical Race Theory thought and basically reveals every lie its supporters are trying to tell about it. pic.twitter.com/TJfHOr1MSA

For example, Critical Race Theory is apparently an "intersectional discourse" and relies upon "praxis" (i.e., is Marxian). pic.twitter.com/cisbxSEwpc

Critical Race Theory developed to reject traditional civil rights discourse and to remove neutrality from the law (i.e., be racist on purpose in law) as a result because progressive race activists and neo-Marxists weren't always getting their way. pic.twitter.com/q3B5iA2pig

This paragraph (by Richard Delgado) tells us what Critical Race Theory looks like in education: learning how to apply racial Critical Theory to everything. Also, it's Hegelian. pic.twitter.com/JM248GCQ2O

Why would education researchers need "adequate grounding in the field" if it's not in education? Why would Richard Delgado indicate interest in writing a book on Critical Race Theory that's accessible to high school students of not to bring it into high schools? pic.twitter.com/2ChHOZ5q0A

This is a hell of a paragraph used as a means to admit (proudly) that Critical Race Theory isn't scientific or logical at all. pic.twitter.com/MuenEd66yK

Along with "Space Traders," this kind of stuff should lead us to believe that the progenitor of Critical Race Theory, Derrick Bell, might have been crazy. This is very similar to the stuff of paranoid schizoidia. Either way, it's what Critical Race Theory is partially based on. pic.twitter.com/BMu5xSXFag
