Not sure why you would try to make that connection where there is none, other than to take a cheap shot at Christian conservatives...

American history:

The first black president was descended from slave owners.

The first black female vice president was descended from slave owners.

Look at all you white Christian conservatives afraid of American History.

My mom grew up living 5 blocks from Little Rock High school. Her sister was a student in that school in 1957 when the democrats tried to stop blacks from enrolling there and my aunt was close friends with one of the black girls who enrolled. Democrats were furious. My grandfather was a life-long democrat with a high-paying government job connected with the democrat party. I got saved as a teenager and when I began voting I was already a Christian opposed to what the democrat party stood for. That is American history.

I see what you did there!

It will of course be ignored

Why would you presume that was aimed at Christian conservatives?

“Critical race theory,” or CRT, has become a trigger term for politicians, activists and media voices, particularly on the right wing where it’s competing with “cancel culture” on the hit parade of things we are all supposed to be angry about or afraid of — or both.

But the political allure of the term is understandable, considering how often it has been appearing in the fevered narratives of conservative media and Red State politicians. Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Idaho, Arkansas and Arizona have either passed or are working on bills that would drop CRT or anything that looks like it from public schools curricula.

That’s a lot of agitation over an esoteric school of thought found mostly in graduate schools and law schools.

CRT has emerged gradually since the 1970s as an academic movement of civil rights scholars and activists to challenge mainstream liberal approaches to racial justice.

Among other pioneers of the CRT movement, legal scholar Kimberlé Crenshaw has called it an evolving practice that questions how race, as a social construct, perpetuates a caste system that relegates people of color to the bottom tiers.

Who is promoting critical race theory? Democrats, black democrats, democrat socialists, and democrat communists. Did I leave anyone else out? Yes, I forgot to mention bootlick American corporations run by democrats, black democrats, socialist democrats, or communist democrats.

Reader response to a guest editorial in a TN newspaper, The Williamson Herald:

Thank you Jeff Stewart. I was wounded by communists/marxists in combat while serving with the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam. I have no love for those people and don't appreciate being called a marxist by opponents of CRT. Teaching CRT is essential if we are ever to learn from our past mistakes, as a nation. I graduated from high school in Nashville in 1966. There were lots of black people living in Nashville at the time, but there was NEVER a black student in any of my classes in public school. When I was drafted in 1967 I was suddenly training with young black men from Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, etc. I had to learn to deal with that situation because my parents and my school system failed to prepare me for life. I quickly learned that the terrible things I was told about Dr King when I was growing up were lies. Pro Tip: Dr King was NOT a marxist either. In combat we all bled red. There was no time for racial discrimination and hatred. It was a hard lesson which reflected poorly on my Dad.​
​
Imagine being so ashamed of the words and actions of your ancestors that you make it illegal for the truth to be taught to your children. We don't need another generation of ostriches. We must teach and understand history with only one goal in mind. The truth. I understand that history can be complicated, but we can teach it to the best of our ability. I am sorry that Marsha Blackburn and others make up all sorts of emotional, tearful stories about how it will damage our children if we teach them the truth. I had to blindly find my way and I don't wish that on any child growing up in our today.​
​
I love my country, but I will never understand it unless I know the truth...as painful as it may be. Teach the good with the bad and we can strive for "a more perfect union." The Founders of this nation knew it would change over time and designed our Constitution in a manner which allowed for improvement. Teaching that the USA was perfect when we won our independence on September 3, 1783 is a lie. The men who achieved that victory disagreed about where to go from that date forward. Just teach the truth and let the next generation lead from knowledge, not ignorance.​

Teach the truth

Barack Obama is descended from slave owners.

Kamala Harris is descended from slave owners.

Slavery was ended in America through the sacrifice of over one and a half million white Union Republican soldiers, fighting against the Democrats in the South.

I don't care if he went to 'Nam or not, whites are not bad because they are born white and blacks are not racially superior because they are black. Those who focus on skin color are racists, whether white, black, or blue. Democrats demonize whites and Americans as though whites and Americans are evil because of slavery, which logical and loving Americans today had nothing to do with.
