Bottom Line: The recent push by the Palm Beach and Duval County School Districts to attempt to backdoor critical race theory into our classrooms has reached a flashpoint. The subsequent fight against this Marxist agenda infiltrating Florida, starting with Governor DeSantis, yours truly and most importantly, those who’ve made their voices heard in these school districts, has begun to open the eyes of many.
Recently, I illustrated that no large state delegations of Democrats have voted harder left consistently than Florida’s Democrats. Because, if anything, Florida’s moved from being a purple state to a red state in recent years, the radical agenda of Florida’s left isn’t associated with being the most radical. That’s reserved for states like California and New York, but the voting records tell a different story.
In addressing the notion that CRT is only a “theory”, I’ll start by saying that I’m far from stupid and you’re not fooling me, or anyone else with their eyes open. In fact, ironically it was the very teaching of a “theory” which in hindsight likely turned me into what I became.
In my sixth-grade Physical Science class, the Big Bang Theory was presented. There was nothing remarkable about the teaching of it, aside from it being the first time I remember a lesson plan which didn’t allow for the possibility of intelligent design. Still, it was a theory and potentially reality, so I rolled with it until it was time to take a test. Over 30 years later I don’t recall the exact verbiage of the question, but paraphrasing, What’s responsible for creating life on earth? The question wasn’t presented in the context of what scientific theory.
Now, before needing to look at the multiple-choice questions, my immediate thought was God. When I looked at the choices, none provided for the possibility of intelligent design, the “correct” answer option on the test was The Big Bang, I realized I had two options. Bite my tongue, mark the desired answer and move on, or refuse to answer the question which would have forced me to deny God. So, I spoke up and lest you think it was an oversight – the indigence of the teacher made clear how intentional the agenda was. I’ll pick up on that point as it pertains to CRT in the second part of today’s Q&A next.
