Podcasts about Critical race theory

Stephanie Paz was a teacher in Houston, Texas, who moved to the Bronx to become a high school English teacher. Her experience in one of the most controversial states when it comes to legalizing policies that ban books and has deemed it unlawful to teach anything related to Critical Race Theory, to what it was like to live through a school shooting, is compelling. Every state has their flaws and what has allowed Stephanie to remain committed has been her resilience.

In previous programs we have warned about Social-Emotional Learning that is invading many public schools across the nation. But did you know SEL is also invading Christian schools----Appearing with Jim to tell us more, Crosstalk welcomed Julie Quist. Julie is Board Chair of Child Protection League which is committed to promoting the welfare of children and protecting them from exploitation, indoctrination and violence. They educate citizens on issues that protect or threaten the safety of children.--Julie defined SEL as, -...a radical education program that indoctrinates children with the basic principles of cultural Marxism.- She warned that this is not the way it presents itself to the public, but this is what it is.--For Julie, SEL is vary vague as it talks about children controlling their emotions. It also communicates that it gives them life skills because those words are very appealing to parents and the public. --Since SEL is based on emotion and not at all about academics, cognitive learning has no part in it. This has replaced academics as the core curriculum. Isn't school and education supposed to be about academics-- Yes, and that's why Julie calls SEL -fake education.- As she pointed out, we send our children to school to learn basic knowledge which is the building block for being able to understand the world, be successful and provide leadership.--In the end, SEL is all about indoctrinating children into a worldview that's based upon Critical Race Theory. In other words, it's based on equity and is, as they call it, a lever for social justice.

When faced with a threat, it is essential to name your enemy. James Lindsay did just that in a masterful speech before the European Parliament. The enemy? Marxism. In his remarks, James methodically laid out how Marxism has infiltrated America, where it came from, and where we are heading. James is an author, mathematician, and an expert on Critical Race Theory. He joins Lisa to discuss why the culture war matters and how we must fight for freedom against tyrannical forces.

“What if I told you could help to save America for as little as $150 by investing in school board races across the country that conservatives could win. No seriously. In this episode Carl speaks with the VP of School Board Leadership Programs at the Leadership Institute, Bridget Ziegler. Bridget currently chairs the Sarasota County School Board in Florida. She's a wife and mother of 3 young daughters that left behind a lucrative career of 15 years because she saw how the left was brainwashing and sexualizing our kids in school. Not only did she help draft the Florida Parents Bill of Rights, she also played an instrumental role in Gov DeSantis's EO that stopped school districts from forcing mask mandates on students. Bridget, along with the Leadership Institute, is focused on taking back the nation's K-12 public schools one school board seat at a time by training parents that want to run for school board how to message and win those races in their area.

Pantheism comes from the Greek Pan meaning “all or everything” and Theos meaning “God.” In Pantheism, everything that exists is One (Monism) and that one substance is God. God, however, is not personal but impersonal – an “It” rather than a “He.” This worldview has significant implications. If everything is "God" then humans must also be a manifestation of God. This is reminiscent of the Serpent's temptation in Genesis 3, "You shall be like God." Pantheism isn't just a superstition of the ancient past, it is very much still with us today in a variety of different world views, and many ascribe to some kind of Pantheism without even knowing it. On part two of our conversation with Christian philosopher Dr. Doug Groothuis, we discuss some of the failures and contradictory tenets of Pantheism, including its insufficient responses to the problems of evil and suffering. Dr. Douglas Groothuis holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy (University of Oregon, 1993) and is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary where he heads the Christian Apologetics Master's degree program. He is the author of sixteen books, beginning with the best-selling Unmasking the New Age (InterVarsity Press, 1986) and including the popular and voluminous textbook, Christian Apologetics, 2nd ed. (IVP Academic, 2022), as well as a memoir, Walking Through Twilight: A Wife's Illness—a Philosopher's Lament (InterVarsity Press, 2017), an introduction to philosophy, Philosophy in Seven Sentences (InterVarsity, 2016), and a book on the controversial topic of Critical Race Theory, Fire in the Streets (Salem Books, 2022).Related Links: Free access to some related Watchman Profiles: Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Pantheism by Dr. Douglas Groothuis: watchman.org/Pantheism Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on Transhumanism by Dr. Douglas Groothuis: watchman.org/Transhumanism Watchman Fellowship 4-page Profile on New Age by Dr. Robert M.

The Secret Religions of the West, Session 3 of 3 In the Esoteric Religion known as Hermeticism, there are a number of core principles of operation, perhaps most famously the Principle of Correspondence. It's often worded "As above, so below," but this is only half of the principle. The full expression is "As above, so below; as below, so above," which outlines a snake eating its own tail as a driver of Hermetic alchemical magic. In his third lecture for the Mere Simulacrity conference in Phoenix, Arizona, in December 2022, James Lindsay explains how this principle is a driver of what he calls the "Secret Religions of the West" in an elucidating way. He contends that Karl Marx was the first to realize that the principle of correspondence must be applied from the bottom. Working on the world (as below) to change it (so above), and then the world (as above), changed, will socialize and condition people (so below) to accept the changes and make them "actual." Marx called these two dynamics "praxis" and the "inversion of praxis," but now we can expose them clearly for what they are. Join Lindsay to understand the mechanism behind the activism in many evils, including Marxism, Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory and feminism, Modern empire building, and even right-wing reactionary response, which plays its crucial role in this ongoing dynamic of destruction.

Robert Spencer on How the Left Is Trying to Foment A Civil War.  https://youtu.be/cQr9l2up0dg JihadWatchVideo 35.5K subscribers 3,694 views May 1, 2023 On Tuesday, April 25 in Los Angeles, the David Horowitz Freedom Center hosted a special book signing event for Jihad Watch Director and best-selling author Robert Spencer. Spencer spoke on the Left's efforts to provoke a new civil war and to manipulate American history so as to make Americans ashamed to be American. Part of the ACU National Divorce Series. Get Spencer's new book, The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment A Civil War, here: https://www.amazon.com/Sumter-Gambit-...   About the book- The Sumter Gambit: How the Left Is Trying to Foment a Civil War by Robert Spencer. January 18, 2023 “A thought-provoking and scary look at how a morally bankrupt and historically illiterate faction is toying with the worst-case scenario, imagining that it will provide them with a short-term advantage.” —Kurt Schlichter What is the Sumter Gambit? It's the concerted effort by the Left to push the most extreme policies and ideologies into American public life, while simultaneously labeling any opposition to their overreach as treason. While this strategy has been developed for decades, only since the Trump years has it become their central organizing principle—and, indeed, the only governing strategy of the Democratic party. Critical Race Theory in schools, extreme gun control and abortion laws, Covid lockdowns and mandates—and all that is just the beginning. The purpose of it all is to push non-Leftist Americans into an impossible corner—where they are forced to choose between giving up their liberty and their most dearly-held principles; going to jail; or fighting back. When the last becomes the only choice, the Left plans to unleash the entire might of the Military-Industrial Complex to defeat and destroy any vestiges of dissent. They'll have to do it, they'll say, to protect us from an “insurrection.” At that point, we will have the Civil War that they have wanted, and planned for, since at least the 1960s. The Sumter Gambit is a brisk primer on the primary differences between the two camps in America today, and the ways in which Americans can and must act now to preserve our nation. We must strengthen the country against its internal enemies who want to silence their opposition and impose upon us a radical Leftist ideology that is in the process of transforming America into a land no one would ever dream of calling the Land of the Free or the Home of the Brave. There is no doubt that America is suffering from grave crises today. Here the noted political analyst, Islam expert, and historian Robert Spencer shows just how severe those crises are—and points the way back from the brink of civil war to political, societal, and cultural sanity. --------------------------------------------------------------------  HELP ACU SPREAD THE WORD!  Please go to Apple Podcasts and give ACU a 5 star rating.

Bill Donohue was Honorably Discharged from the U.S. Air Force in 1970, and began his teaching career in 1973 working at St. Lucy's School in Spanish Harlem. In 1977, he took a position as a college professor teaching at La Roche College in Pittsburgh. In 1980, Bill was awarded his Ph.D. in sociology from New York University. In 2022, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Laws from Ave Maria School of Law. Bill is the author of ten books and thousands of articles. His first book, The Politics of the American Civil Liberties Union, was published in 1985.

Bill's third book, Twilight of Liberty: The Legacy of the ACLU, was published in 1994; a new afterword to this book was published in 2001. His next book, Secular Sabotage: How Liberals are Destroying Religion and Culture in America, was published in 2009.

In this monumental book by one of the Church's greatest contemporary defenders, Bill Donohue explains how the ruling class is systematically undermining the virtues that have built Western civilization and producing a “moral holocaust” that the traditional family cannot withstand. These radical elites have rejected the idea of personal sin and replaced it with social injustice. They've rejected traditional values and replaced them with a dangerously misguided individualism that is misusing our liberties to destroy freedom as we've known it. In his incomparable, no-holds-barred style, Donohue offers a commonsense solution to restoring the virtues in the workplace and defending universal morality. You will learn the hard-hitting truth about the dangers of multiculturalism, the “blame America” campaign, the Black Lives Matter movement, and Critical Race Theory.

In 2022, he was named by the U.K.'s Catholic Herald as one of the top 250 Catholic leaders in the U.S. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/john-aidan-byrne0/support

Today we're joined by Leonydus Johnson, political commentator and author of "Raising Victims: The Pernicious Rise of Critical Race Theory," to discuss where our country is headed when it comes to how we deal with race. We discuss his accidental fall into the political sphere after realizing the lies of the Left. We talk about why people who claim to be apolitical tend to vote leftward and explain why the ideas of the Left in theory sound so appealing to the unengaged person. We also discuss the rise of BLM and social justice bullying and the real definition of critical race theory and DEI. And Leonydus shares his definition of color-blindness and explains his argument for moving to a post-racial society. --- Timecodes: (00:55) Accidentally falling into politics (03:46) Why do apolitical people lean to the left (05:30) Obama and the shift of mainstream opinion / BLM (18:10) Critical race theory (28:20) Reasons for disparities (35:06) Equality of opportunity / equity (46:44) Colorblindness --- Today's Sponsors: A'Del — go to adelnaturalcosmetics.com and enter promo code "ALLIE" for 25% off your first order!

If you google search “Christianity and Critical Race Theory” you'll see several harmful pages first.  These pages are trying to prevent critical thought around the racist systems that oppress.  Our conversation this week invites you to think critically and introduces an incredible resource to do so. Dr. Jeff Liou joins our conversation to share about his new book “Christianity and Critical Race Theory”.  We talk about early memories of racism and discrimination and what it feels like to get rooted in the person and work of Jesus in the midst of White Nationalistic Evangelicalism.  Then we talk about the God who celebrates our uniqueness like putting our personality on the refrigerator from Revelation 21.

The Dudes meet with Marvin Lowe from the Frisco, TX Independent School District Board of Trustees to discuss everything from his views on the real estate market and to his position as a Trustee on the Frisco, TX School Board.Marvin is a real estate broker with 4 children who had never voted in a municipal election prior to a few years ago. His exploration into Critical Race Theory in Frisco public schools led to him running for a Board seat in 2022.There are many parallels between Frisco and Prosper ISDs and more parents are waking up and learning more about how schools and the education system in America operates.Frisco has lost between 1400-1500 teachers in the last couple of years, a concerning statistic for a property rich city with 225,000 residents and 65,000+ students.Marvin shares some of his ideas of what's needed to course correct, as well as addresses the recent Dallas Morning News hit piece written about him after his discussion with a young transgender student's mother at a recent Texas Association of School Boards Conference.Follow us on Social Media!

Pantheism is one of four foundational “world views” held by millions of people around the world. It is the common theme of many of the world's eastern religions including Hinduism, Buddhism and Taoism. In the West, it underlies the basis of Transcendentalism, Wicca (witchcraft) and much of New Age spirituality. How do we recognize Pantheism today? How should we respond? On the next two episodes of the profile, we sit down with Christian philosopher Dr. Doug Groothius (pronounced GROW-tice) to talk with him about what Pantheism is, how to recognize it, and how to respond compassionately with the Gospel.Dr. Douglas Groothuis holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy (University of Oregon, 1993) and is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary where he heads the Christian Apologetics Master's degree program.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, who do the Democrat party represent and stand for in America? They put the party first and the country and citizens second, because the party is how they get and retain power. Regulations and attacks on energy independence is succeeding in destroying our country, while the DOJ and FBI impact the country in other ways. We almost have one-party rule today in the United States with some Republican quislings aiding the Democrat Marxists. Individualism is now replaced with groupism being taught in Critical Race Theory, which refuses to view people as individual human beings but rather as groups of people and condemn them for things they have not done in the name of equity. That is the totalitarian Federal government and the Democrat party today, who do not believe in individualism but instead, view people in classes like Karl Marx. Thankfully we have someone like Governor Ron DeSantis in a powerful position to take on the woke Democrat agenda and protect schools and children from being indoctrinated. Disney is suing DeSantis while other conservatives like Nikki Haley are selling out to the woke mob. Also, Mark speaks with KY Attorney General Daniel Cameron about running for governor of Kentucky and hits back against a racist cartoonist in a local newspaper. Learn more about your ad choices.

Originally released Jan 24, 2022: [Update, The CAAAS in now open!] What exactly IS radical inclusivity and what does it have to do with Critical Race Theory? On today's episode we're excited to be joined by Dr. Reiland Rabaka to dive into this with us and explain how radical inclusivity goes beyond race. Dr. Rabaka is a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the founder of the groundbreaking Center for African and African American Studies (The CAAAS) at CU. In this interview, we get a sneak peek as to how Dr. Rabaka's vision for radical inclusion is coming to life in the fall of 2022 with the opening of The CAAAS in Boulder. We're exploring:  The wide range of expressions of what it means to be African and what it means to be Black When education in school around race SHOULD be started The most difficult conversation Dr. Rabaka's mother had with him as a child Why he teaches critical white studies in his classes The Black Tax and how it affects us Dr. Rabaka's vision for The CAAAS and the role it will play in the Boulder community How he is teaching differently and in doing so all his classes end up full and waitlisted Hip hop feminism and how Dr. Rabaka teaches it in his classes And so much more!   Contact info for Dr. Rabaka:   https://www.colorado.edu/center/caaas/ https://www.colorado.edu/ethnicstudies/ https://www.colorado.edu/asmagazine/2021/10/27/du-bois-scholarly-legacy   If you'd like to support us in continuing this work, we'd be honored if you'd consider donating here: https://www.patreon.com/thehumanizepodcast    Let's talk about it!

On this episode of the podcast, I talk with Dr. Jeff Liou about his new book Christianity and Critical Race Theory. There are few topics more contentious than CRT, but in this conversation, we simply seek to demystify the discourse, to understand CRT, and to ask where there might be openings and oppositions for Christian discipleship as we seek to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God. Among the topics we discuss: What is CRT, and why has it become such a lightning rod? How can we demystify it to engage it in a meaningful way? How does the CRT concept of "community cultural wealth" connect with a Christian account of creative diversity? How does the CRT claim that "racism is ordinary" connect with the Christian doctrine of pervasive sin? What should we make of the criticisms of CRT that it redefines the terms of racism to see racism in everyone and everything, that it is nebulous and totalizing, and that it creates a new sort of fundamentalism that is light on grace? What are the greatest points of tension between Christianity and CRT? How might this conversation connect for Reformed Christians, specifically? How do we learn to see power, without power becoming the only thing we see? Get the book: https://bakeracademic.com/p/Christianity-and-Critical-Race-Theory-Robert-Chao-Romero/436007

Criminal immigration matters make up some 70 percent of all federal cases charged.  But the statutes our government uses to prosecute and sentence undocumented human beings to serious prison time, was motivated by racism and discriminatory intent.  Therefore, a team of fearless lawyers mounted a massive undertaking to challenge these statutes in federal court -- and WON.   On August 16, 2022 Judge Du of the United States District Court for the District of Nevada issued a first-of-its-kind ruling, finding that Section 1326 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) is unconstitutional because of its racist origin. Therefore, helping us get Set for Sentencing today, one of the aforementioned fearless advocates for justice, attorney Kara Hartzler.  Ms. Hartzler walks us through the fascinating and dark history of these laws, the arguments that took them to task, and what the future holds. IN THIS EPISODE: The racist history behind U.S. Immigration policy; How eugenics and the US policy of “final selection” became a precurser for much of the rationale and policy in place for Hitler's “final solution”; The Undesirable Aliens Act of 1929 and The Hart-Seller Act of 1965; The litigation challenging the statute as violating equal protection; The “Arlington Heights” test for discriminatory intent; How storytelling won the day in the Nevada constitutional challenge;  Parallels between immigration laws and the Major Crimes Act, giving the federal government jurisdiction over certain crimes on Indian Reservations (i.e. supposedly sovereign nations); The legal effect of the Nevada challenge and what happens next; How to use these arguments at sentencing RIGHT NOW; The importance of working with people outside of the legal community to broaden the perspective of the lawyer and the arguments she can make.   LINKS: We talked about an incredible organization, the Florence Project, which helps immigrants in ways big and small.  We would love for you to check it out, and maybe even hit the donate button on the home page:  Home - The Florence Project (firrp.org)   If you'd like to listen to Oral arguments at the Ninth Circuit, argued by renowned Constitutional Law Prof., Irwin Chemrinsky, click here:  https://www.ca9.uscourts.gov/media/video/?20221208/21-10233/   As we discussed, regardless of the final outcome, fearless lawyers will continue to point out the racist origin of this statute at sentencing.  If you would like to download a fantastic sample sentencing memorandum raising these issues, please visit the shownotes at www.setforsentencing.com/racist1326

If there were anything more to the so-called “Critical Race Theory” than a leftist hustle to divide and subvert America, one might expect its adherents to be characterizing the relentless attacks on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas as evidence of “systemic racism” against an “oppressed” black man. Forty years of mostly white “progressives” vilifying the content of Justice Thomas' character and his conduct demonstrate, however, that a conservative black public figure – especially a supremely accomplished one – is considered fair game for transparent racism.  That was true of his first “high-tech lynching” at the hands of then-Senator Joe Biden aimed at keeping him off the Supreme Court. And it is true of the one underway today aimed at driving him from it. America is a far better country for Clarence Thomas' service, and we should all strive to be worthy of it.   This is Frank Gaffney.
