Harvey’s Introduction
This article is a copy of most of the Weekend Jolt in National Review. The main part of the article takes on the progressive narrative about the resistance taking place all over the country against teaching Critical Race Theory – to wit, that protestors are really racist who don’t want schools to teach black history and the evils of slavery. Hence, in their view, this resistance is further evidence of racism. It’s nonsense, but that want stop them from lying and making this straw man argument.
Weekend Jolt does another task for me and that is it identifies other articles that might be interesting to National Review readers. Its a good list for you to review on various topics.
Harvey’s Introduction
Critical race theory is rapidly spreading through America’s public institutions. Yet most Americans have little understanding of the theory and how it affects their lives. In a new 18 minute video essay, City Journal contributing editor Christopher F. Rufo explores the intellectual roots of critical race theory, summarizes his investigative reporting on this topic, and explains how citizens can fight back in their communities.
If you want to understand this damaging philosophy, watch the video.

Harvey’s Introduction
Teaching children that all people should be judged as individuals, regardless of their race is great. Teaching children that the U.S. is systematically racist as a nation and that racism is illustrated and amplified by “white privilege” is both wrong in fact and divisive as hell.
Harvey’s Introduction
Critical Race Theory is the progressive antidote to the notion that America is systemically racist. It is, at the same time, wrong, divisive and dangerous. School boards have to be lead by parents who understand the damage this kind of teaching can cause.
Harvey’s Introduction
I don’t know what Maxine Waters was thinking when she attempted to intimidate the jury in Minneapolis at the Dennis Chauvin trial or if she was simply bored and wanted to appear on TV, but she certainly helped the defense in its argument for a mistrial. If its granted, you can guess that we will see an outbreak of violence across the country, with the attendant rioting and looting. If he is not granted a retrial, you can be sure BLM will take it as a clear signal that jury intimidation is alive and well. To me BLM and its supporters are the mirror image of the KKK and their intimidation tactics.

Many people hear the words “critical race theory” or see the results of applying this theory in their schools and in the newspapers but do not understand exactly what it is and how pernicious it is to our nation.
