New Hampshire Rally Urges Schools to Stop CRT Indoctrination
More than 200 people rallied at the New Hampshire State House on April 24 to urge schools to stop indoctrinating children with Critical Race Theory (CRT), which was described by demonstrators as a set of divisive concepts aimed at increasing racial tensions.
A new rule proposed by the U.S. Education Department in April suggested including CRT in history and civics classrooms throughout the country.
“Teach MLK (Martin Luther King), not CRT (Critical Race Theory),” a sign held by a protester read.
The theoretical frameworks of CRT are rooted in critical theory, a Marxist social philosophy which argues that social problems are created more by societal structures and cultural assumptions than by individual factors. CRT incorporates the notion that the white race enjoys certain “privileges” just because of skin color.
