Amazon donated hundreds of copies of a racist, error-filled book by a critical race theorist to public schools. In doing so, it helped poison young minds, and taught high-school students falsehoods about America’s history and politics. It did this at the urging of a school official in Arlington, Va.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that “Amazon spent $5,000 to distribute hundreds of copies” of “Ibram X. Kendi’s book” "Stamped" “to Virginia public school students” in Arlington, Va. The “key concept” Kendi teaches is that society needs to discriminate against whites to make up for past discrimination against blacks. Kendi says, “The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.” Kendi once wrote an op-ed suggesting that white people are aliens from outer space.
