YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSome leftists are attempting to deconstruct, and in their own phrasing, “decolonize,” education curriculum.
Many making these pushes are armed with a unique rhetoric — specifically, terms like "eurocentric perspective,” “racial cultures” and “white, western... knowledge.”
It's all yet another means by which the left is causing divide — waging a campaign of “wokeism” by promoting identity politics.
This video is an excerpt from our event, Wokeism at WorkHow "Critical Theory" and AntiRacism Training Divide America
Following the death of George Floyd, books such as White Fragility rose on bestseller lists and “anti-racist” training programs saw a massive increase in demand in corporate America and governments at all levels, and concepts like “unconscious bias” and “internalized racial superiority” found their way into everyday conversation. What is the origin of Critical Race Theory that informs much of this training and what are its goals? And, will this new form of identity politics truly heal our nation? Join us for a discussion on the pervasive trends that, under the guise of equality, make diversity training in government, corporate America, and schools pernicious, divisive, and destructive.
