Kentucky is now joining with many, many other states in considering legislation that would prohibit the state’s schools from pushing Critical Race Theory, as well as Sex-based discrimination by prohibiting the indoctrination of various insidious “divisive concepts”. SB6 says, in part:
(a) “Divisive concept” means a concept that:
- One (1) race or sex is inherently superior or inferior to another race or sex;
- An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, is inherently privileged, racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or subconsciously;
- An individual should be discriminated against or receive adverse treatment because of the individual’s race or sex;
- An individual’s moral character is determined by the individual’s race or sex;
- An individual, by virtue of the individual’s race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex;
- An individual should feel discomfort, guilt, anguish, or another form of psychological distress solely because of the individual’s race or sex;
- A meritocracy is inherently racist or sexist, or designed by a particular race or sex to oppress another race or sex;
- The Commonwealth of Kentucky or the United States of America is fundamentally or irredeemably racist or sexist;
- Promotes or advocates the violent overthrow of the United States government;
- Promotes division between, or resentment of, a race, sex, religion, creed, nonviolent political affiliation, social class, or class of people;
- Ascribes character traits, values, moral or ethical codes, privileges, or beliefs to a race or sex, or to an individual because of the individual’s race or sex;
- The rule of law does not exist, but instead is a series of power relationships and struggles among racial or other groups;
- All Americans are not created equal and are not endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including, life, liberty, and the 8 pursuit of happiness;
- Governments should deny to any person within the government’s jurisdiction the equal protection of the law;
- Includes race or sex stereotyping; or
- Includes race or sex scapegoating
The bill also allows for aggrieved private parties to sue for up to $100,000 if the state forces these wicked concepts on them, forcing them to affirm said concepts.
