True equality will be achieved by maximizing the ability of Americans to become self-sufficient, not by dividing Americans on the basis of race and apportioning resources based on skin color.
For Americans who care about poverty alleviation and constitutional government, critical race theory represents a critical threat. If implemented, critical race theory’s social policies would continue to erode the key preconditions for advancement—family, education, and work—and leave ostensibly “favored” groups more dependent than ever on public subsidy and redistribution.
Teachers should not use the goal of teaching “diversity of thought” as an excuse to teach students to view others through ethnic stereotypes, nor should they teach that America is an irredeemably racist country.
Teachers should use instructional content that creates a shared sense of national identity, teaching that America belongs to all Americans and that this nation and its progress is worth celebrating
Teachers should impart the foundational principles of this country: intrinsic equality of all humans, equal protection under the law, liberty, self-reliance, and hard work; teach history impartially, with differing views considered in a balanced, non-politicized curriculum; and explain how government works at different levels, and how a citizen can affect the workings of government.
Policymakers should reject the tenets of critical race theory and orient public policy toward rebuilding the institutions of family, education, and work for Americans of all racial backgrounds. True equality will be achieved by maximizing the ability of Americans to become self-sufficient, not by dividing Americans on the basis of race and apportioning resources based on skin color.
