Leftist Activist Compares Criticism of CRT to KKK, Segregation
Author Ibram X. Kendi compared criticism of critical race theory (CRT) to the KKK and pushback against the integration of schools during a Wednesday conversation with the American Federation of Teachers (AFT).
Kendi said that it is necessary to talk about racism in the same way that it is vital to treat cancer – if the uncomfortable subject is not talked about, then we will never heal. He also compared teaching about racism to teaching about the Holocaust when asked at what age children should be taught about racism, according to an article about the event by the AFT.
Kendi said that teachers educate children about the Holocaust in age-appropriate ways beginning when they are very young in order to prevent it from happening again, and the same approach should be used when teaching about slavery.
Kendi compares pushback against CRT by parents in America in 2021 to pro-segregation forces in 1954 and pro-KKK teachings in the South in 1964. https://t.co/yOfLJ75yCP pic.twitter.com/O1N7sjl0MW

Its adherents pursue “antiracism” through the end of merit, objective truth and the adoption of race-based policies.
