"“The children’s book industry, as it stands now, is extremely woke,” Mandel said, referring to books focused on “racial justice,” “equity,” and “inclusion,” terms often used by advocates of critical race theory (CRT), a quasi-Marxist school of thought that claims that the United States is systemically racist.
CRT promotes a curriculum that advocates for critiquing social problems through the lens of racial struggle, and claims that racism is inherent in the foundational values of Western societies. It seeks to fundamentally “transform” social institutions in the name of ending this racial oppression.
Opponents say the ideology has been promoted in schools through training and programs on “equity” and other topics given to teachers and students.
While schools have for years been quietly infusing CRT into their curriculums, it wasn’t until the lockdowns were enacted in response to the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic, that parents were able to see what their children were being taught. Since then, parents have been stepping forward to oppose CRT due to its racially divisive, sexually explicit, and anti-American concepts."
