Critical race theory has exploded into public consciousness. Millions of American parents are just coming to realize that our schools have become woke indoctrination centers preaching divisiveness, bigotry, discrimination, and disdain for American history. Most of them are wondering how we got here.
The answer is simple: Slowly. Incrementally. One step after another, over the course of decades. It’s hardly just K-12 education. An incentive system of “incremental outrageousness” has taken every aspect of American culture dangerously far from reality into the orgy of radical leftist hatred known as progressivism.
How did it happen without anyone noticing?
Turns out, we’ve reached the endgame of a strategy the radical left put in play in the 1960s: the long march through the institutions. The onslaught began in higher education—an institution particularly well suited for a takeover because it functions without external market signals. Success in academia hinges entirely on peer approval. Faculty members make all decisions concerning the hiring, firing, and promotion of junior colleagues, curriculum design, publication in prestigious journals, the appropriate paths for research, and the availability of public and private research funding.
The surest way to succeed as an academic is thus to flatter the senior folks charged with making decisions about your career. The best way to do that (within the bounds of legality and propriety) is to “build upon” their work—that is, by taking it one step further in the recommended direction. Senior academics select the direction. Junior academics bolster the prestige of their seniors whenever they make a new “scientific discovery” along the designated path. In one fell swoop these junior academics show how important past work has been and tie their own egos, prestige, and careers to those of their seniors.

It is the common nature of men to suffer long the abuse of others before rising up to throw off their oppressors… Desiring to live at peace, in the security of their homes and family, the common man is loath to engage those who would bring them to bondage. It is this nature that leads us to where we are today… at the portal of a New World Order... where men are no longer secure in the promise of liberty and the American Dream.
After suffering the abuse of those who they entrusted with their liberty the people are beginning to awaken... to the crack of the tyrant's whip. The doors of democracy and self-determination are being closed. What awaits America is the slave master’s whip, should she fail to secure her liberty and heritage.
America faces its greatest challenge to date… will it find the resolve, leadership, and unity among its people to meet this challenge or will it go the way of former great Nations… too, join the list of failed attempts to establish a government of the people, by the people and for the people.
Time will tell but the burden of proof and the past don’t bode well for their efforts... The 2020 election cycle was one more betrayal in our effort to break the hold of the oligarchy of globalists and socialists who control our government accountable. These despots are determined to retain their power by hook or crook and the people, including the Tea Party, appear to be having little impact on the corruption that infests our political process. Time is not our ally nor is patients a friend it is past time effective actions are taken to remove the despots from the high places in our government.
