    I plan on purchasing this book. I'll get back to ya.




    In schools and workplaces across the United States, Americans are being indoctrinated with a divisive, anti-American ideology: Critical Race Theory (CRT). Based in cultural Marxism, CRT bullies and demonizes whites while infantilizing and denying agency to blacks, creating a deep racial rift. As Abraham Lincoln famously observed, "A house divided against itself cannot stand." CRT aims to divide the American nation against itself and burn down the house.


    In Black Eye for America: How Critical Race Theory Is Burning Down the House, Carol Swain and Christopher Schorr expose the true nature of Critical Race Theory, and they offer concrete solutions for taking back the country's stolen institutions. They describe CRT in theory and practice, accounting for its origins and weaponization within American schools and workplaces; explain how this ideology threatens traditional American values and legal doctrines, including civil rights; and equip everyday Americans with strategies to help them resist and defeat CRT's pernicious influence.


    Carol Swain (PhD)is an award-winning political scientist and former tenured professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt Universities. She is the author or editor of 10 books, including Be the People: A Call to Reclaim America's Faith and Promise and The New White Nationalism in America: Its Challenge to Integration.


    Christopher Schorrholds a PhDin American Government from Georgetown University. His dissertation ("White Nationalism and its Challenge to the American Right") considers factors that risk mainstreaming white nationalist politics in the United States, including Critical Race Theory.

    Totally 100% agree. As a parent I felt it also important to bring up my kids with as much history about racism as I could. And we have a multi race/culture family which is a great thing.

    I agree, but unfortunately counting on parents to do what we deem right is doomed to fail.

    Why don’t you just read this crap in private and leave the rest of us out of it?? You claim you aren’t racist yet you’re constantly pushing this “enlightened” bullshit. Accept your racial bias and move on. Waving this type of propaganda on this particular message board is nothing more than intentional trolling, because you DO know better. Your book looks like nothing more than further white rationalization of it’s own ugly racist history. And like always, let’s blame the blacks who are fighting to bring the inequities front and center, instead of burying them as we have for centuries. Every time black society calls bullshit, white society paints THEM as the racists rather than accept the obvious truth. I used to think you were clueless, but now I believe you are very calculating. But whatever, it’s a shameful troll job on your part.

    certainly, its going to take many approach's. But parents should be a key factor in bring up kids in what is right and wrong and how to be a part of the solution.

    Of course we'll need parents to support proper schooling, but if we ignore it in schools we'll never get educated parents to provide that support. It has to start someplace, and the logical place to start is in schools.

    If we're going to make them say Liberty and justice for all, we should teach them what that actually means.

    My wife was an elementary school teacher for 40 plus years and she would agree with both of us.

    Yeah, I don't think you're wrong at all. Just that you can't expect the parents to start doing it out of the blue. It'll never happen. They'll have to be taught to do it. And the longer we avoid that the worse off our country will be.

    Blaming people for not doing things they don't understand is insane.

    Like, the only other alternative is preventing people who don't understand from having kids in the first place. Which is obviously not a place we want to go.

    Thanks, but it had to be said……….a certain poster’s Urkel “Did I Do That??” shtick has worn clear through. Absolutely disgusting.

    Wallow in your own.....stuff. I highly respect Carol Swain. Her takes are a breath of fresh air to me. I'm not going to be bullied into a liberal hogwash form of thinking. Black conservatives are working on actual reform, as opposed to finger-wagging shame tactics.
