1. @bariweiss on fire: "Critical Race Theory is a threat to the most basic foundations of Am. life, including, but not limited to, equality under the law. It asks us to define ourselves by our immutable characteristics. It pits us against one another in an endless power struggle"
2. It rejects Enlightenment tools of reason and scientific discovery as tainted. And it undermines our common humanity... Do we still believe in Dr. King’s dream, in which we are all judged by the content of our character and not the color of our skin?
3. Or do enough of us now believe in a kind of collective guilt, that skin color determines our place in a new caste system? For the past few weeks I’ve been talking to teachers and parents across the country about the takeover of American schools by this illiberal ideology...
4. ...which disguises itself as “social justice” and “anti-racism” but indoctrinates children as young as kindergarten to see everything and everyone through the lens of race. It’s an important story that’s been largely overlooked, and I'm eager to report it out...
5. (Back to me talking.) I'm sure there'll be plenty on which I disagree with Bari,-- or maybe just a few things -- but this should be a breath of fresh air. https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/its-done-what-comes-next
