Parents: Critical Race Theory Is Emotional Child Abuse

Parents and citizens across the nation are rising up to oppose critical race theory (CRT) and racial indoctrination of children. In reaction to overwhelming voter support and civic action, states are moving to restrain CRT, with some states banning it from classrooms and standard curriculums.

In his bestselling book, Hope for This Present Crisis, Dr. Michael Youssef addresses the dangers of critical race theory. “Critical theory claims that America, free market capitalism, the police and the church are all irredeemably and fundamentally racist. It teaches that racism is unsolvable, and that people are incapable of changing.”

Dr. Youssef continues, “The victim-oppressor narrative of critical theory drives all the forces that are seeking to destroy Western civilization.”

Loudoun County has become ground zero for the national series of showdowns. Loudoun County parents continue to resist efforts to force-feed their children leftist ideology, racism and anti-American agendas using a so-called Equity Plan.

Educators and school boards in over 20 states face backlash from parents and some educators who refuse to teach radical curriculums. One Loudoun County resident equated the explicit sexual content and radical CRT to emotional child abuse, an attack on the family and an affront to freedom and God’s design for humanity.

At its core, CRT is an attack on Christian values and American founding principles. Acts 17:26 states, “And God has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on the face of the earth.”
