While critical race theory is blazing its way through America’s public school system, one dad took to social media to destroy any curriculum that he says teaches his daughter to judge people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.
In a video that’s already been viewed nearly a million times on TikTok and God only knows how many times elsewhere, Kory Yeshua explains that instead of teaching his young daughter to be a perpetual victim because she’s black, he wants her to know she can be "anything in this world that she wants to be," and to treat others with respect regardless of whether they’re “Black, or white, or any other color."
"How we treat people is based on how they are, not on what color they are," he says.
"And if they are nice, and smart,” his daughter,who appears on camera with him, adds.
"See, this is how children think right here," Yeshua continues. "Critical race theory wants to end that. Not with my children, it's not gonna happen. My baby is going to know that no matter what she wants to be in life, all she has to do is work hard and she can become that."
"You can make friends no matter who they are,” he says. “So we need to stop CRT point-blank. Period. Children do not see distinct color, they love everybody."
If only everyone possessed such uncommon sense – and uncommon decency.
Britannica defines Critical Race Theory as an "intellectual movement and loosely organized framework of legal analysis based on the premise that race is not a natural, biologically grounded feature of physically distinct subgroups of human beings but a socially constructed (culturally invented) category that is used to oppress and exploit people of colour. Critical race theorists hold that the law and legal institutions in the United States are inherently racist insofar as they function to create and maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites, especially African Americans."
In many schools that push critical race theory, black students are often taught that they are systemically victimized in society based on their skin color, while white students are informed that they are inherently racist and taught to denounce and even openly apologize for their "whiteness."
