Critical race theory debate likely to continue
The Conservative Baptist Network applauded the seminary presidents just as they had praised President Donald Trump earlier this year when he banned critical race theory training for federal workers. Trump s decision came on the heels of a summer filled with protests against police brutality and heightened awareness about systemic racism.
Opposition to critical race theory is one of the reasons the grassroots Southern Baptist group launched in February. They want the seminary presidents to go further, including helping to rescind a critical race theory resolution the convention passed in 2019. We look forward expectantly to the presidents cooperation with us in rescinding Resolution 9 and to their taking concrete actions toward the elimination of these unbiblical doctrines and others like them, such as Black Liberation Theology, from our SBC seminaries, the network said in a news release.
