7 Ways The Conservative Movement Should Fight Critical Race Theory
The professional conservative movement should be moving massive amounts of money to support parents' efforts and harden them as a target of this leftist onslaught.
For the first time in ages, the political right has had a massive boon dropped right into its lap. Democrats are shaking in their boots over the political implications of their institutional support for the state-sponsored racism known as critical race theory.
Their initial attempts to Jedi mind trick away people’s concern by insisting CRT isn’t real failed, and even Nancy Pelosi mouthpiece Politico is reporting how CRT in schools is deeply offending the independent and Democrat voters crucial to the Democrat Party’s competing grievance groups.
So what is the institutional right doing to capitalize on this amazing opportunity? A few states are banning it from classrooms — amid the usual friendly fire butt-covering for do-nothing Republican politicians — while Democrats prepare for total war to maintain their control of the national child-indoctrination apparatus known as public schooling.
If the conservative movement and Republican Party were serious like the left is serious, here’s what it would be doing to use the CRT uproar for tactical advantage instead of maxing out their energies on chest-thumping panel discussions and TV appearances while parents with kids and full-time jobs try to do all the groundwork without air cover.
1. Counter the Unions with a Litigation Army
The nation’s largest teachers union announced it’s filled a $5 million war chest to provide legal defenses for any teachers caught pushing CRT. The Biden administration has nominated to a key U.S. Department of Education legal post a leftist extremist who previously wielded federal power to institute racist policies that forced schools to discipline children according to their skin color instead of their actions: “Under her leadership, civil rights investigations became tools of harassment to coerce changes in school policies.”
These institutions are going to use the might of the federal government, an army of lawyers, and the nation’s largest teachers union to defend their territory. Who is helping parents go on the offensive against state-sponsored racism?
One-man journalist army Chris Rufo is recruiting lawyer volunteers via Twitter. That’s great, but he shouldn’t have to do this himself. The professional conservative movement should be moving massive amounts of money to support parents’ efforts and harden them as a target of this leftist legal onslaught. Stop platforming leftist propaganda outlets and start hiring effective marketing strategists, investigative journalists, and scads of lawyers.
2. Vote Against All Nominees Who Support Disparate Impact Racism
Max Eden points out in City Journal that when racial extremist Catherine Lhamon underwent confirmation hearings as Joe Biden’s nominee for assistant secretary of USDOE’s Office of Civil Rights: “Republican senators… did not challenge Lhamon on her record on school discipline. Nor did they ask any questions on the issue at the forefront of so many voters’ minds: critical race theory.”
Later, one senator, Ranking Member Richard Burr, sent Lhamon written questions about racial extremism and Llamon dodged, claiming she could not answer any...
Border Patrol Official Warns that Covid-Positive Aliens Being Released "Day In, Day Out"
A Vice President of the National Border Patrol Council, Chris Cabrera, has warned that Border Patrol officers are having to release illegal border crossers who tested positive for Covid-19 into the U.S. “day in, and day out,” spurring worries for the health and safety of Border Patrol and the nation as a whole.
Cabrera stated:
Not everyone we encounter we test, only those that exhibit some type of symptoms, and not everybody has symptoms that have it. And we’re releasing people out of the door day in and day out with actual positive tests for COVID and more keep popping up.Cabrera also warned that his border sector alone has seen 20,000 apprehensions with 2,000-3,000 every day just in just the single sector, not including those aliens who evade the overwhelmed Border Patrol altogether.
As a result, Cabrera stated that a number of agents have been quarantined or are sick with the virus.
We have a lot of agents quarantined right now, which adds to our problem, on top of agents who are sick with COVID, so we’re concerned about catching it ourselves, we’re concerned about our families and coworkers, and it just seems everyone's turning a blind eye to it when we have a real situation down here, Cabrera added.More than 188,000 aliens were encountered this past June, taking the number of migrants encountered this fiscal year to well over one million. Congressman Chip Roy released a thread of Tweets today detailing the preliminary border statistics from July, noting that there were over 200,000 encounters with illegal aliens just last month. The numbers, if accurate, would be the largest total ever recorded by DHS.
Chris Cabrera warned that Border Patrol agents are struggling with the crisis, which shows only increases in encounters at the border each month. This is despite the historical norm of illegal land migration dropping off during the sweltering summer months as the...

THE DELTA IN STUPIDITY
The Delta variant of the novel Coronavirus has delivered a tremendous opportunity for Democratic officeholders and public health authorities to feed their will to power. The Democratic officeholders have also seized the moment to replay the freestyle stupidity that carried us through the epidemic. Here are four columns that shed light on dark corners.
• Jacob Sullom, Reason: “The Biden Administration Continues to Exaggerate the Risk Posed by COVID-19 Breakthrough Infections While Slamming the Press for Doing the Same Thing.” Is the Biden crew evil or stupid? I’m going with stupid.
• Martin Kulldorf & Jay Bhattacharya, Spiked: “The smear campaign against the Great Barrington Declaration.” Two of the three authors of The Great Barrington Declaration reflect on what happened after they “argued for a ‘focused protection’ pandemic strategy. We called for better protection of older and other high-risk people, while arguing that children should be allowed to go to school and young adults should be free to live more normal lives.”
Quotable quote: “We Great Barrington Declaration authors failed to sway any politicians, except Florida governor Ron DeSantis.”
• Kevin Roche, Star Tribune: “Learn the right lessons from the COVID response.” Writing in early July, Kevin addressed the Delta variant as it has played out in Great Britain: “The Public Health England, where delta has been the dominant strain for a number of weeks, publishes a regular technical bulletin on all variants of concern. The most recent of those shows that delta has a lower hospitalization and death rate than did the prior predominant strain, alpha or B117, and that its transmissibility is roughly the same as alpha.”
• Kevin Roche, Healthy Skeptic: “Cumulative Look at the Epidemic, July 30.”
Kevin presents nine graphs of Minnesota data that belie “what the knucklehead experts tell you is happening.” He asks: “How could anyone not see that this epidemic is only a big problem for the very old[?] Amazingly bifurcated. Proportion of events that each age group accounts for, just what you would expect given the...
