CRT & DEI: Cultural Revolution - Michele Lentz

Critical Race Theory (CRT): The Hidden Dangers
Critical Race Theory (CRT) Sounds Academic—But It’s Destructive.
CRT reformulates old Marxist ideas of oppressor and oppressed, swapping class categories for racial ones (White vs. Black). It falsely labels the United States as a fundamentally racist nation, condemns capitalism, individual rights, and the Constitution, and ignores real drivers of inequality like family structure, education, and work ethic. CRT views everything through a racial lens, seeking to dismantle American society and replace it with a totalitarian “antiracist” bureaucracy. This page outlines CRT's principles, criticisms, its infiltration in education, impacts, and why it's tied to DEI—urging action to protect our children and nation.
Core Principles of CRT That Undermine Society
CRT's ideology promotes division and control:
-
Assumes racism is embedded in every aspect of life, relationship, and interaction—encouraging constant scrutiny.
-
Relies on “interest convergence”: Whites only advance Black opportunities when it benefits themselves, fostering distrust of all anti-racism efforts.
-
Opposes free societies, aiming to dismantle and replace them with systems controlled by CRT advocates.
-
Treats people as “socially constructed groups” based on race, erasing individuality.
-
Dismisses science, reason, and evidence as “White” ways of knowing, favoring storytelling and “lived experience” instead—harming everyone, especially minorities.
-
Rejects alternatives like colorblindness as “racist,” making CRT the only acceptable view (totalitarian).
-
Labels dissenters as racist or white supremacist, even if they are Black (also totalitarian).
-
Is never satisfied, acting as an “activist black hole” that destroys whatever it touches.
Criticisms: Why CRT Fails to Address Racism
CRT doesn't solve inequality—it deepens it:
-
Ignores key factors like family structure (e.g., fatherless homes) and focuses on unsubstantiated claims of systemic discrimination.
-
Would deepen racial divides rather than heal them.
-
Tied to Cultural Marxism, with roots in Marxist tenets, goals, and destructive effects on education and society.
-
Challenges all racial justice ideas to fit an oppressor/oppressed narrative, politicizing everything.
-
Eight major flaws make it terrible for combating racism: pervasive racism assumption, distrust of progress, anti-freedom stance, group-over-individual focus, devaluation of evidence, rejection of alternatives, assumption of bad-faith dissent, and endless destructive activism.
CRT in Education: Indoctrination in Schools
CRT has infiltrated K-12 education, often bundled with DEI and delivered through Social Emotional Learning (SEL):
-
Teachers view subjects through a racial lens, portraying one race as oppressor and another as oppressed.
-
In Minnesota, teachers must adopt a Marxist worldview—including CRT, equity, gender ideology, and social justice—to get licensed.
-
Social Studies standards embed CRT, rewriting history with oppressed/oppressor frameworks; ethnic studies turn schools into “extremist boot camps.”
-
Examples: Burnsville, Edina, and Hopkins districts promote CRT; superintendents claim “racism pervades every aspect of life”; trainings compare school suspensions to slavery; math classes “dismantle racism.”
-
BLM curricula in schools teach revolution; NEA pushes CRT nationwide despite opposition.
-
“Safe and Supportive Schools” laws (e.g., MN's 2017 Bullying Bill) serve as backdoors for CRT and equity.
-
Initiatives like “decenter whiteness” in school structures promote social justice and CRT.
-
SEED Diversity Training has pushed CRT, equity, and diversity since 1987.
​
The Broader Impacts of CRT
CRT harms individuals, families, and society:
-
Instills shame in children, viewing them as oppressors or victims based on race.
-
Warps young minds through indoctrination, politicizing education and eroding hearts and minds.
-
Undermines American foundations, replacing liberty with bureaucratic control.
-
Acts as a destructive force, threatening societal collapse.
-
Deepens inequality by ignoring real solutions like strengthening families.
​
Connections to DEI and Other Ideologies
CRT and DEI are intertwined, sharing ideologies and outcomes:
-
Both are delivered via SEL, promoting equity (equal outcomes via redistribution) over equality (equal opportunities).
-
Equity dismisses merit, character, and responsibility, labeling founding documents as “white privilege.”
-
Linked to Cultural Marxism, gender ideology, social justice, and BLM—turning schools into indoctrination sites.
-
Equity is bigotry in disguise, embedded in education through non-profits and regional governance.
Legal and Policy Responses
-
States like Oklahoma, Florida, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Idaho have banned CRT in schools.
-
Databases track CRT in education (e.g., Legal Insurrection Foundation, UCLA Anti-CRT Map).
-
Teachers defy laws to push CRT; parents use FOIA requests for transparency.
-
Model policies prohibit CRT in school boards.

Say NO to CRT—Restore America’s True Values
Reject CRT to safeguard our children, education, and future. Organize locally: Review curricula for buzzwords like “equity” or “bias”; attend board meetings; submit FOIAs; support anti-CRT officials. Take action at state and national levels—contact representatives. Use resources to educate and fight back.Promote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision: Judge by character, not skin color. Uphold the Declaration: All are created equal with inalienable rights to life, liberty, and happiness.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI): The Hidden Dangers
​
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Sounds Good—But It’s Destructive.
DEI reformulates divisive ideas by categorizing people into identity groups based on race, gender, and other traits, labeling them as oppressors or oppressed. It falsely promotes "equity" as a solution to inequality, ignoring real factors like family structure, and seeks to dismantle merit-based systems in favor of ideological control. DEI views society through a lens of perpetual conflict, condemning traditional American values and the Constitution. This page outlines DEI's principles, criticisms, its infiltration in education, impacts, and ties to CRT—urging action to protect our children and nation.
Core Principles of DEI That Undermine Society
DEI's ideology promotes division and redistribution:
-
Categorizes individuals into "identity groups" (race, gender, income, religion), prioritizing group labels over individual character and merit.
-
Labels groups as "oppressor" or "oppressed," fostering continuous conflict.
-
"Diversity" demands special recognition for "oppressed" groups; non-conformers are deemed intolerant.
-
"Equity" seeks equal outcomes through redistribution, dismissing merit, hard work, and colorblindness as "oppressive."
-
"Inclusion" forces abandonment of biological reality, such as allowing boys in girls' spaces, violating privacy and fairness.
-
Relies on deceptive language like "privilege" and "unconscious bias" to justify discrimination and shaming.
-
Views the nation as fundamentally unjust, with "anti-racism" as a tool to transform society.
Criticisms: Why DEI Fails to Promote True Equality
DEI doesn't achieve fairness—it exacerbates division:
-
"Racial Equity" is racial discrimination, falsely teaching "White Supremacy" and viewing events through a racial/oppressor lens.
-
Claims the nation is racist, sexist, and unjust; all whites are oppressors with undeserved "privilege," justifying discrimination against them.
-
Ignores real causes of inequality, like fatherless homes (a scientific factor linked to academic disparities), favoring political narratives of systemic discrimination.
-
Violates federal civil rights law and the Constitution by promoting reverse discrimination and abandoning science (e.g., in sports and private spaces).
-
"Anti-Racism" terrorizes by shaming individuals, especially straight white men at the bottom of the "privilege" hierarchy, cultivating psychological insecurity.
-
Demeans values like excellence, objectivity, and neutrality as "culturally oppressive," leading to chaos.
-
Acts as an "activist black hole," never satisfied and destroying what it touches, similar to CRT.
DEI in Education: Indoctrination in Schools
DEI has infiltrated K-12 education, often through Social Emotional Learning (SEL) and Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE):
-
SEL transforms school culture with a DEI worldview, teaching the "whole child" and shifting values/norms via sexuality lessons to satisfy DEI mandates.
-
CSE is promoted as the "most equitable" curriculum, aligning with SEL competencies and embedding DEI principles.
-
In Minnesota, teacher licensing requires adopting DEI, equity, and related ideologies, turning schools into ideological training grounds.
-
Schools attribute racial disparities to discrimination (a political claim), ignoring fatherless homes (a scientific one), politicizing education.
-
Examples: Districts promote "racial equity" trainings; SEL connects to CSE, pushing norm-shifting content; equity dismisses merit as "white privilege."
-
"Safe and Supportive Schools" policies serve as backdoors for DEI, similar to CRT infiltration.
The Broader Impacts of DEI
DEI harms individuals, families, and society:
-
Instills confusion and cognitive dissonance by forcing acceptance of divisive labels.
-
Undermines self-respect, family structures, and traditional masculinity.
-
Erodes American foundations, replacing liberty with bureaucratic control and ideological conformity.
-
Deepens inequality by ignoring real solutions like strengthening families and promoting personal responsibility.
-
Threatens societal decay through perpetual conflict and breakdown of unity.
Connections to CRT and Other Ideologies
DEI and CRT are intertwined, sharing roots in Cultural Marxism:
-
Both use oppressor/oppressed frameworks, with DEI's "equity" mirroring CRT's racial lens.
-
Delivered via SEL, promoting social justice, gender ideology, and BLM—turning education into indoctrination.
-
Equity is bigotry in disguise, attributing disparities to discrimination rather than factors like fatherless homes.
-
Linked to CSE, which advances DEI by shifting cultural norms, akin to CRT's transformative goals.
Legal and Policy Responses
-
DEI violates federal civil rights laws protecting equal opportunities, not outcomes.
-
States are pushing back: Bans on DEI in public institutions; scrutiny of equity policies in sports and education.
-
Parents use FOIA requests for transparency; model policies prohibit DEI in school boards.
-
Federal actions emphasize merit over identity-based preferences.
