“ Salvation has been redefined as activism with the goal of liberation rather than repentance to Christ with the goal of restoring a broken world through gospel transformation .”
understands identity groups to be in constant conflict with one another and believes justice involves taking power from the oppressor groups and giving it to the oppressed . It holds this to be the key to ushering in the longawaited educational utopia that will fix all academic problems .
According to the Bible , this is a distorted version of equity . As a result , it is unjust and discriminatory because it is based on a partiality of skin color , gender , sexual orientation , or religion . Equity must have a standard of good and bad and right and wrong . The problem is that public schools have no objective foundation for morality . God ’ s law , the Ten Commandments , was removed from public schools in the 1960s . The void created by removing God ’ s morality was replaced with a new moral code that teaches a secular view of justice , race , sexuality , and gender . Public schools are not morally neutral , and equity is an example of this reality .
Public schools are indoctrinating children with a secular view of morality using terminology such as equity , white privilege , systemic racism , anti-bias training , cultural responsiveness , and restorative justice . This insidious ideology is permeating all academic subjects : math where children are taught reparations , history where children are taught that America is evil and was founded on greed and slavery , and English where white children are taught implicit bias and micro-aggressions .
Public school equity is a moral revolution that demands complete conformity . It appeals to justice and virtue ; therefore , it is deceptive . But it embraces and glorifies immoral means of activism through rioting , looting , and arson to achieve what it claims is a moral end . It uses familiar moral language but hollows it out to make the words refer to something very different .
PUBLIC SCHOOL EQUITY IS CRITICAL RACE THEORY
The version of equity taught in public schools is critical race theory by a different name . Critical race theory claims that society consists of two groups of people : the oppressed and the oppressors . The dominant people groups are automatically oppressors , and the minority groups are the oppressed . Critical race theory divides everyone by groups and portrays all minorities as victims . Those in majority groups are portrayed as victimizers , racists , sexists , and bigots .
Public school equity , taking its cues from critical race theory , can be summarized by the idea that oppressed groups of students must be liberated from all forms of oppression in education to succeed academically . Therefore , academic achievement gaps , negative student behavior , declining graduation rates , and dropping illiteracy scores result from oppression in school due to fewer educational opportunities for minorities , systemic racism from biased teachers , and white privilege from a color-blind approach . This ideology believes the problem is the system . Critical race theory seeks to dismantle social structures , such as education , and rebuild them according to a new vision .
Critical race theory builds off of decades of multiculturalism , diversity instruction , and affirmative action , which are embedded in teacher training and curriculum . Educational curriculum has transitioned away from academics and into social justice activism . School board members , superintendents , principals , and teachers are now coming out of the closet as full social justice race warriors . “ Let your revolution come through your instruction and your education ,” said Mauri Friestleben , principal of North Minneapolis High School . We must recognize that public school equity is not about fairness ; it is a Trojan horse for a social revolution .
Critical race theory and Christianity are competing worldviews . Critical race theory , and therefore equity , redefines what it means to be human , as well as sin , salvation , and the means to restore a broken world . Critical race theory is based on atheism . If there is no God , then there is no such thing as sin . Sin has been redefined as oppression against humans rather than rebellion against God . Because public school equity gets the problem wrong , it also gets the solution wrong . Salvation has been redefined as activism with the goal of liberation rather than repentance to Christ with the goal of restoring a broken world through gospel transformation .
