How Lefts Obsession With Critical Race Theory Hurts Minority Students

Published: April 12, 2022, 7 a.m.

The left makes a big deal about teaching race in America. From the 1619 Project to critical race theory, the left claims that America is irredeemably steeped in racism and that race should be the central focus of all aspects of American life.\nDelano Squires, a homeschool father and scholar at the pro-America education group\xa01776 Unites, says that isn\u2019t helpful. Hyperfocusing on race and racism sows division, and also foments hatred for America, he says.\n\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter what country or what ethnicity, because I can\u2019t think of any institution in which a person flourishes when they hate the institution,\u201d Squires says. \u201cI don\u2019t know of anyone who hates their wife that would then say that they have a good marriage, or hates their job and then turns around and says, \u2018Yeah, I want to work there for the next 40 years.'\u201d\xa0\nSquires joins \u201cThe Daily Signal Podcast\u201d to discuss how race should be taught in our schools, and why the left\u2019s brand of race-conscious education is a bad idea.\xa0\nWe also cover these stories:\n\nAustrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin, the first time a European leader has done so since Russia invaded Ukraine.\n\nPresident Joe Biden announces new gun control measures that he says are aimed at \u201cghost guns.\u201d\n\nA new poll from CBS News and YouGov finds that Biden\u2019s approval rating is at an all-time low.\n\nEnjoy the show!\n Hosted on Acast.
