Spin baby spin!

"The poor, especially poor people of color , remain rigidly segregated within educational systems. The backlash against critical race theory (CRT), explorations of LGBTQ+ identities and the banning of books by historians such as Howard Zinn and writers such as Toni Morrison, are extensions of this attempt to deny the oppressed their song."

The postmodernist cultural Marxists in charge of the teachers unions and the k-12 education establishment and connect to the Democrat political machine control this education system and their critical theory ideology calls for segregation and practices it within and without the education system.

These people also align with the globalist corporatist oligarchs that want to insure everyone else joins the black minority on the plantation of dependency while they, along with their partners in the elite ruling class, can continue to consolidate and grow THEIR wealth and power.

The main problem with this article is that it fails to connect the dots to perpetrator of the crimes it trumpets. That is why I just did. You are welcome.

Take away economic opportunity for the masses except for the elites, including destroying the public education system that the masses would otherwise rely on to advance, and then buy the media to point the finger of blame at others... others that are actually similarly victimized by the elites as are the minorities.

Chris, I have to disagree with you about critical race theory. Along with the World Socialist Web Site, I contend that CRT is an offshoot of the NYT's 1619 Project, and the 1619 Project is a massive falsification of history. I agree with the rest of your article, regarding the fact that it was a crime to teach a slave to read in the South. And segregating schools was a continuation of that idea by making it extremely difficult for people of color to get an educaation. But identity politics of any kind are anathema to Marxists, whether it be CRT, MeToo, or LGBTQ+ (and their time-wasting obsession with "correct pronouns"). These separatist movements divide the working class, much to the delight of the ruling class.
