Podcasts about Critical race theory

In this episode, I'm joined by Monique Duson and Krista Bontrager from the Center for Biblical Unity. We dive into what true racial reconciliation looks like from a biblical worldview—and why the church must reject secular ideologies like Critical Race Theory in favor of gospel-centered truth. Monique and Krista share how their friendship began and how it laid the foundation for their ministry partnership. Monique unpacks her journey out of the framework of social justice ideology, while Krista brings clarity to the theological dangers of redefining justice, oppression, and reconciliation through a cultural lens. Together, we explore why sound doctrine is essential for discerning truth from error—and how unity in the body of Christ must be grounded in Scripture, not shaped by the shifting winds of culture. If you've ever wrestled with how to think biblically about race, justice, or unity in the church, this conversation will equip and challenge you in all the right ways.

If you've ever wondered where Critical Race Theory came from, or why the Progressive Left seems to have collectively lost its mind all at once, buckle up for a comprehensive breakdown and analysis of the history of postmodernism. Michael Young sits down with Bridget for a fascinating conversation tracking the roots of the postmodern movement and how it's come to dominate the landscape of today's culture wars. He and Bridget discuss the proliferation of conspiracy theories and their cultural significance, and Young deconstructs the tangled web of postmodernism from the rise of belief that the entire culture is a system of brainwashing, to the counter culture movement of the 60s, to each successive wave of academic theorists doubling down on a flawed premise, culminating in a vicious cycle of self-radicalization, the rise of critical theory, the flawed idea that there are no objective truths, and the difference between elites and experts. Pulling from a vast array of sources, Michael breaks down why postmodernist theory is inherently nonsensical and speculates about where we go from here.

Lawyers for San Francisco and Santa Clara counties are back in court Wednesday. They're fighting with the Trump administration over new rules around homelessness funding. Reporter: Marisa Lagos, KQED Teachers in Temecula can teach about race without fear of running afoul of the school board, at least for now. This comes after a California Appeals Court ruled the district's ban on Critical Race Theory is unconstitutionally vague.

Send Wilk a text with your feedback!Unpacking the Woke Right, White Identity Politics & The Equality Fight In Episode 264 of Derate The Hate, host Wilk Wilkinson welcomes Hunter Ash and returning guest Julian Adorney for a bold, honest, and highly relevant conversation on the rise of woke right identity politics, the pitfalls of anti-racism orthodoxy, and how we might build a more unified, equitable society without falling into the traps of division and fear.

This episode delves into the intense conflicts surrounding race, history, and education in America, asking why classrooms have become such volatile battlegrounds. Moving beyond surface-level political or ideological debates, two psychoanalysts, Drs. Karyne Messina and Felecia Powell-Williams apply some of the tools of psychoanalysis to uncover the deeper, often unconscious, psychological forces at play. The discussion explores how the enduring legacy of racism in the United States, particularly the unacknowledged weight of historical trauma and guilt related to anti-Blackness, fuels a societal "War on Knowing." Central to this analysis are the defense mechanisms mobilized, both individually and collectively, to ward off the psychic pain associated with confronting uncomfortable truths. The episode focuses particularly on Denial, examining its manifestation not just as simple lack of knowledge, but as an active refusal to acknowledge the ongoing realities of systemic racism, its historical roots, and its contemporary impact. This denial serves to protect a cherished, often idealized, national or group identity from information that would create profound dissonance and distress. Furthermore, the discussion explores the powerful role of Splitting and Projective Identification. These complex mechanisms involves unconscious splitting of people into good and bad groups followed by casting off unwanted or unbearable aspects of the self or the group (such as guilt, aggression, or vulnerability related to racism) while attributing them to the external 'other' – be it individuals, groups, or institutions. The target is then subtly induced to feel or behave in line with the projection, allowing the projector to disavow these difficult feelings while simultaneously controlling or attacking the externalized 'badness'. In the context of racism, this can manifest as projecting blame, divisiveness, or even racism itself onto those advocating for racial justice or onto institutions perceived as challenging dominant narratives. The episode argues that this "War on Knowing," driven by defenses like Denial and Projective Identification, plays out with particular ferocity in educational settings. Prestigious universities like Harvard and Columbia, often seen as centers of knowledge production and increasingly engaging with their own complex histories, including ties to slavery, become potent symbolic targets. Actions directed at these institutions – such as investigations into admissions policies (affirmative action), attacks on diversity initiatives, or challenges to curricula addressing systemic racism (like Critical Race Theory) – can be understood from a psychoanalytic perspective. Listeners will hear an exploration of the profound psychological costs of this ongoing battle: the invalidation and potential re-traumatization experienced by students of color, the fragile and incomplete understanding fostered in white students shielded by these defenses. Ultimately, the episode suggests that meaningful progress requires moving beyond mere factual debate or political maneuvering. It calls for recognizing these powerful unconscious dynamics and fostering approaches rooted in the psychoanalytic concept of "working through" – creating spaces capable of containing the difficult emotions associated with confronting historical truths, rather than perpetuating cycles of defense, projection, and acting out. This psychoanalytic perspective offers a crucial, if challenging, lens for comprehending the deep-seated resistance to fully knowing and reckoning with racism in America.

When James Baldwin went on the Dick Cavett Show in 1969, he was asked a very loaded question: why aren't Black people more optimistic? Jim Crow laws had been outlawed, Black people were becoming mayors and successful businesspeople… so why was he still talking about race?Obviously racism didn't “end” with the Civil War, or the Civil Rights Act, or Obama's election. In fact, Donald Trump has spurred a resurgence — there's been a nearly 50% increase in white supremacy groups just in the past few years. And yet he's waging a war on Diversity Equity and Inclusion programs, Critical Race Theory, and the very notion that racism still exists.But racism – and anti-Blackness in particular – is still a powerful force. It's built into the very structure of the country. It shows up in politics, medicine, sports, education, and even eBay.In this week's episode of Okay But Why, we explore the history of anti-Blackness in America, how it manifests to this day, and what we can do about it.

Fired for Faithfulness: Dr. Russell Fuller Exposes the Woke Takeover of Southern SeminaryEPISODE DESCRIPTION Dr. Russell Fuller spent over two decades faithfully training pastors in Hebrew and Old Testament at Southern Seminary. He wasn't fired because he failed—he was dismissed because he stood firm. In this explosive and convicting episode, Pastor Joseph Spurgeon sits down with Dr. Fuller to uncover the compromise, cowardice, and critical theory that have crept into one of the SBC’s flagship institutions. From the denial of justification by faith to the promotion of CRT and postmodernism, Dr. Fuller recounts the quiet rot at Southern, the role Al Mohler played, and why real men must speak truth, no matter the cost.

This week hosts Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Andrew Gillum are TOGETHER IN MIAMI!! This week’s convo kicks off with a listener question: why not move to Africa? But for real, it’s cheaper to live there or open a business–plus there’s a tradition of Black Americans moving to Africa. However, we DON’T want to be moving like white colonizers. The Trump administration has threatened to pull funding from Universities that teach subjects they don’t approve of, like Critical Race Theory and LGBTQ+ studies (so much for the party of free speech). How do we protect freedom of thought in our schools and institutions from a repressive authoritarian government? Reverend Al Sharpton has had talks with Target’s CEO about DEI after a boycott of the company initiated by Pastor Jamal Bryant. Not everyone approves of the Reverend inserting himself into the situation, which begs the question: who gets to call themselves a leader of the Black community? Are we a leaderless movement??

From "Bloody Sunday" to Modern Activism: Civil Rights Leaders Reflect on LegacyThis show is made possible thanks our members! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate   Thank you for your continued support!Description: 60 years ago in Selma, Alabama, state troopers beat peaceful protesters bloody on the Edmund Pettus Bridge as they marched for civil rights. The horror of “Bloody Sunday” and the resilience of the Civil Rights Movement ultimately led to the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act and many of the landmark achievements that are now directly under attack. As civil rights activists look to history to understand — and prepare for — the present, Laura walks the Bridge and talks with, among others, Sheyann Webb Christburg, who marched at the age of eight, Black Voters Matter co-founders LaTosha Brown and Clifford Albright; law professor and author Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw and Maya Wiley, President and CEO of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. What does people power look like today? Plus, a commentary from Laura on name calling then and now.“We're not going to phone bank our way out of this. We're not going to text our way out of this. And in truth, we're not even going to vote our way out of this . . . It's going to take revisiting some of the same strategies that we saw here in Selma, in terms of nonviolent civil disobedience and direct action.” - Clifford Albright“When we see and hear and think about fascism, we think about anti-democratic movements in Europe. We think about the Holocaust . . . But for Black people, as Langston Hughes said, you don't have to explain to us what fascism is. We experienced it. That is what we were fighting, for the 60, 70 years after Reconstruction was overthrown.” - Kimberlé CrenshawGuests:• Clifford Albright: Co-Founder & Executive Director, Black Voters Matter• Willard and Kiba Armstead: Veteran & Spouse• Trayvon Bossa: Sigma Chapter Member, Miles College Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity• LaTosha Brown: Co-Founder, Black Voters Matter• Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw: Co-Founder & Executive Director, African American Policy Forum; Host of the Intersectionality Matters!

SEND US A MESSAGE! We'd Love to Chat With you and Hear your thoughts! We'll read them on the next episode. This is an earlier conversation with Monique Duson and Kevin Briggins of the Center for Biblical Unity and Offcode Podcast. We discuss a relatively recent article in Christianity Today written by Justin Giboney of the AndCampaign. It seems that there is some revising going on when we reflect on the last 10 years and the social justice movement that swept across churches in the United States. The Black Lives Matter movement and critical theory have both been proven toxic. We discuss exactly how we can know that. Link to Woke Preacher ArticleIn the second half of the show, the trio react to Eric Mason's recent statements about the presence of the prosperity Gospel in the black church.LINK TO THE THREADSupport the showPlease Rate & Comment!Hosts: Brandon and Daren SmithWebsite: www.blackandblurred.comPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

The Dean's List with Host Dean Bowen – Texas AG Ken Paxton is suing Coppell ISD after undercover footage revealed the district is secretly teaching Critical Race Theory under different labels.

Dr. Justin Reed teaches at Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary and is here to talk about his new book The Injustice of Noah's Curse. Dr. Reed starts by introducing us to his context growing up and the influence of his mother and father on his faith and academic work. Then we dive into the strange text of Genesis 9. The timing is strange, the absence and presence of characters is strange, and the curse uttered against Canaan is very perplexing.

Cultural and political debates around DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) and climate change dominate headlines—but what deeper ideas are fueling these movements? Why did these ideas gain such traction, and how should Christians respond? Instead of impulsively reacting to the latest controversies, we explore how to replace false ideas with biblical truth, offering a transformative alternative for meaningful change. Darrell Harrison is the lead host of the well-known Just Thinking podcast and a fellow at the Black Theology and Leadership Institute at Princeton Theological Seminary. He helps us move beyond surface-level arguments and uncover the worldviews shaping these narratives.View the transcript, leave comments, and check out recommended resources on the Episode Landing Page!

REPOST - It was all good just a few summers ago! Folks of all backgrounds were marching, corporations were pledging, and America was, well…reckoning. Since the flurry of movement in support of racial justice in the summer of 2020, we have witnessed a severe backlash and regression that most recently has included the federal government attempting to make it illegal to even use the most basic vocabulary of equity and justice in schools. How did we get here, and how can educators survive, resist, and move forward? To help us explore these questions, we're joined by educator and racial equity coach Joe Truss!! Joe is the founder of Truss Leadership and first appeared on AOTA on the eve of the summer of 2020 to discuss dismantling white supremacy culture in schools. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including new data detailing students' use of AI for schoolwork and polling that claims students are exposed to “woke” messages from their teachers on a near-daily basis. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here!→ View this episode on YouTube!AGENDA0:00 - Welcome!5:55 - Number of teens using ChatGPT doubled in one year21:21 - Poll: Does your teacher express woke ideas?40:05 - Joe Truss on the backlash to DEI1:21:05 - Transition housing for foster studentsDO-NOW STORIES:About a quarter of U.S. teens have used ChatGPT for schoolwork – double the share in 2023Poll of High Schoolers Shows Many Are Taught That America Is ‘Inherently Racist'Bridging the Divide over Critical Race Theory in America's ClassroomsSEMINAR:Truss LeadershipJoe Truss LinkedInCLASS DISMISSED:The community college creating a home base for transition-age foster studentsGet MORE All of the Above:- Website- Podcast on multiple platforms via Anchor- Podcast via Apple Podcast- Podcast via Spotify- Facebook PageTheme Music by its tajonthabeat

Send us a textFrom the rise of AI to movements like Black Lives Matter, and whatever the next big issue will be, Christians face a world filled with compelling but deceptive narratives and trends. We believe this is a major weakness in the Church today—but it doesn't have to be. Christians must develop a comprehensive biblical worldview to navigate the pressing issues of our time with wisdom and conviction.In this episode, we explore:Why we must look beyond surface-level branding to uncover deeper worldview assumptionsThe importance of examining a movement's fruit and the beliefs of its foundersThe reality that good and evil run through every human heart—not between groupsHow modern ideologies often strip people of personal agency and responsibilityThe need for Christians to ask deeper questions about cultural norms and practicesHow cultural definitions of words often differ from biblical meaningsWhy critical thinking requires evaluating the worldview behind policies and movementsThe truth that the gospel is about more than personal salvation—it speaks to every area of life and cultureWant to learn more?

What are your children learning in school about man and what he should do in life? What kind of "self" are they being encouraged to develop? Do you even know? James Lindsay joins me to discuss the Marxian religious questions our children are being taught to ask in school, how the answers are purging enlightenment values from American culture, one lost "self" at a time. An American-born author, mathematician, and professional troublemaker, Dr. James Lindsay has written six books spanning a range of subjects including religion, the philosophy of science and postmodern theory. He is a leading expert on Critical Race Theory, which leads him to reject it completely. He is the founder of New Discourses and currently promoting his new book "Cynical Theories: How Activist Scholarship Made Everything about Race, Gender, and Identity―and Why This Harms Everybody," which is currently being translated into more than fifteen languages.Join us for a discussion about what it means for all of us when our children are taught an anti-enlightenment theory of mind?

This week on CounterSpin: A number of federal agencies rushed to make clear they would be scrubbing activities and events that “celebrate cultural awareness” in an effort to stay on the good side of the weird new White House. Trump and his abettors' anti-anti-discrimination agenda is as subtle as a sledgehammer. “DEI hire,” for instance, is super-complicated code for the idea that if a person who isn't white, cis, and male got a job, that can only mean a better qualified white cis man was unfairly denied it. That's just, Trump says, “common sense.” The irony is not lost that history itself is seen as being manipulated for political purpose when it comes to Black History Month — because we know that history is constantly invoked, if implicitly, as a way of justifying present-day unfairness. White supremacy can be presented as natural if white people invented everything, discovered everything, created all the wealth, and defined civilization. What people try to silence tells us what they fear. So what is so scary about everyone, not just Black people, acknowledging the particular circumstances, and responses to those circumstances, of Black people in these United States — our experience, challenges, accomplishments? Is it that history — real history, and not comforting tall tales — connects the past with the present in ways that are powerful, grounding, and inspiring? In March 2021, a hitherto no-name right-wing activist openly declared an intention to mislead around racism and to vilify any questioning of enduring racial inequities: “The goal,” wrote Manhattan Institute's Christopher Rufo, “is to have the public read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think ‘critical race theory'.” He bragged that he had “successfully frozen” the “brand” of critical race theory, and was “steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category.” A self-respecting press corps would have taken that as a shot across the bow. The corporate news media we have dutifully signed on to present a campaign openly defined as uninterested in truth or humanity and concerned only with rolling back the clock on racial equity as a totally valid, “grassroots” perspective, deserving respectful inclusion in national conversation. That was a jumping-off point for our conversation with law professor Luke Charles Harris, co-founder with Kimberle Crenshaw of the African American Policy Forum. We hear that important conversation again this week. Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look back at recent press coverage of Venezuela, Elon Musk, and ICE.   The post Luke Charles Harris on Critical Race Theory (2021) appeared first on KPFA.

Corporate news media presented a campaign openly defined as uninterested in truth or humanity as a totally valid, “grassroots” perspective.

Kemp and Fong agree. We need each other now more than ever. Steve Bannon predicted the strategy of this new administration. He declared, “We're gunna flood the zone with sh*t.” He was prophetic. The Zone has experienced a flash flood. The two Kens thought the new President's intent would be to drain the swamp - but the flash flood of Executive Orders, the defunding, the closures, the pardons have all had the intended effect. None of us, not the politicians, not the media, not the pundits - none of us can keep up. The two podcasters review several articles that have been illuminating. One tells the story of Hungary: Viktor Orbán's takeover of their vibrant democracy, turning it into an authoritarian state. The Atlantic published a thorough review of the history of Hitler's first 53 days - in which he dismantled Germany's democracy by using the Constitution to accomplish that goal. And then, V.P. J.D. Vance emerges as an amateur theologian, justifying the neglect of the marginalized by coming up with a “God-ordained hierarchy” that in essence, gets us off the hook for caring for our neighbors. It's a collaboration of the Two Kens to stay on the alert, speak the truth, and maintain our vigilance.

New Book- The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government. Newt Gingrich Talks to Author.  Newt Gingrich The Dark Money Manipulating the Federal Government Newt talks with Tyler O'Neil, senior editor at The Daily Signal, about his new book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.” Their discussion centers on President Trump's pledge to dismantle the deep state and the extensive network of activist organizations mobilizing to resist his reform efforts. O'Neil's book maps out the intricate web of dark money foundations and activist groups embedded within federal agencies, highlighting the challenges and strategies for overcoming these forces. Their conversation also touches on the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and its potential role in rooting out waste and abuse in the federal government. O'Neil emphasizes the importance of transparency, accountability, and the need for the American people to stay informed and engaged in holding the government accountable. Newt's World  Jan 26 2025  42 mins     Other Episodes   About the Book- The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government Paperback – January 21, 2025 by Tyler O'Neil (Author) See all formats and editions The same left-wing dark money foundations that supported the anti-Israel protests are funding a radical cabal, manipulating the administrative state on education, unions, transgender orthodoxy, elections, and the weaponization of law enforcement to silence their critics. Why did the Biden White House celebrate Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday? Why is the bureaucracy prioritizing electric vehicles and less reliable forms of energy when Americans struggle to pay the bills amid historic inflation and higher gas prices? America's bureaucrats appear to live on a different planet from the working class in this country, and that's no accident. The Woketopus explains how America's elites are pulling the strings in Washington to prioritize their pet projects over the needs of the American people. O'Neil's prose reveals how the left's NGO apparatus pursues its woke agenda, maneuvering like an octopus by circumventing Congress and entrenching its interests in the federal government. Discover how the donors who helped prop up the anti-Israel protests on college campuses are impacting policy in Washington; pull back the curtain on how federal agencies became engines of cultural change; and find out how the Left's dark money influences federal law enforcement to demonize conservatives in an attempt to silence anyone who wants to criticize this agenda. “Tyler O'Neil's book The Woketopus provides a definitive account of how the Left's vast patronage network funds the woke pressure groups manipulating the administrative state. O'Neil pulls back the curtain on how America's elites promote far-left ideologies like Critical Race Theory using the federal government, and how to combat this effort. This book will be a useful guide as the next conservative administration seeks to reign in the sprawling, radical bureaucracy of the federal government.” —Christopher F. Rufo

Joe is the founder of Truss Leadership and first appeared on AOTA on the eve of the summer of 2020 to discuss dismantling white supremacy culture in schools. But first, Jeff and Manuel take a look at recent headlines in education including new data detailing students' use of AI for schoolwork and polling that claims students are exposed to “woke” messages from their teachers on a near-daily basis. → Get your Teach the Truth T-Shirt here!→ View this episode on YouTube!AGENDA0:00 - Welcome!5:55 - Number of teens using ChatGPT doubled in one year21:21 - Poll: Does your teacher express woke ideas?40:05 - Joe Truss on the backlash to DEI1:21:05 - Transition housing for foster studentsDO-NOW STORIES:About a quarter of U.S. teens have used ChatGPT for schoolwork – double the share in 2023Poll of High Schoolers Shows Many Are Taught That America Is ‘Inherently Racist'Bridging the Divide over Critical Race Theory in America's ClassroomsSEMINAR:Truss LeadershipJoe Truss LinkedInCLASS DISMISSED:The community college creating a home base for transition-age foster studentsGet MORE All of the Above:- Website- Podcast on multiple platforms via Anchor- Podcast via Apple Podcast- Podcast via Spotify- Facebook PageTheme Music by its tajonthabeat

In introducing this podcast, I first want to acknowledge how darn pleased I am to have advisors in our organization who think differently than me and who aren't afraid to say as much. This podcast originated when one of our advisors, Pam Hayes-Bohanan, pushed back after an ILV panel discussion on Ethnic Studies. We have had many previous podcasts, labs and panels that question the trends in Ethnic Studies, so when I received this critique, I wanted to know more. Unsurprisingly, although we found many areas where we our perspectives differed, namely around Paulo Freire's book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, through the conversation we also found unexpected convergence. In exploring our different viewpoints, we came to agree that one of the biggest problems is the flattening of education. We discuss the myriad of ways this is being done, including devaluing subject matter experts, a closing of ranks within some colleges of education, the rise of “pre-packaged” curricula, a growing number of administrators who micromanage education, often stripping it of its richness including critical thinking, the mechanical teaching for a test versus to instill the love of learning, and the downgrading of curiosity. While each of these problems may require distinct solutions, one thing we can all agree on is the need to, as Pam says, “not be afraid of ideas” and “just read more books”. More specifically, read books you tend to criticize (e.g. Freire in my case) to develop your own critical thinking skills and thereby learn HOW to think instead of WHAT to think.
