We speak in these apocalyptic terms; people call us exaggerators. \u2018Oh my God, why don\u2019t you stop over-responding?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Complaints that the filibuster and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/how-the-virginia-governors-race-was-won\">election of Republicans like Virginia Governor-elect Glenn Youngkin<\/a> pose existential threats to freedom are rejected by \u201cpeople who are not used to being shat upon,\u201d said Dyson, an ordained minister.<\/p>\n<p>Cross also asked Dyson, a professor of African-American studies at Vanderbilt University, to explain the controversial, quasi-Marxist ideology of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/what-is-critical-race-theory-breaking-down-the-ideology-thats-hitting-schools-across-the-country\">Critical Race Theory<\/a> to her \u201cnon-melanated brothers and sisters\u201d who oppose it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, they\u2019re more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=idx3GSL2KWs\">down with O.P.P.<\/a> than they are with CRT. They don\u2019t even know what it is. They can\u2019t even define it. They can\u2019t even speak about it \u2014 Other People\u2019s Politics, in this case,\u201d Dyson said.<\/p>\n<p>His statement is a familiar one. HBO\u2019s Bill Maher dismantled the same argument from Dyson last month, after Dyson attacked \u201cparents who were spooked by Critical Race Theory, none of whom can define it; when you ask them what it is, they don\u2019t know.\u201d As The Daily Wire\u2019s Hank Berrien <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/disingenuous-bill-maher-slams-leftist-prof-sneering-parents-spooked-by-critical-race-theory\">reported<\/a>, Maher responded:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cI find that a disingenuous argument because I don\u2019t think that is what people are objecting to,\u201d Maher responded. \u201cThey are not objecting to black history being taught. There are other things going on in the schools.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLike what?\u201d Dyson sneered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cLike separating children by race and describing them as either oppressed or oppressor. I mean, there are children coming home who feel traumatized by this. That\u2018s what parents are objecting to,\u201d Maher answered.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAin\u2019t nobody teaching Critical Race Theory in kindergarten, or fifth grade or sixth grade,\u201d Dyson claimed on Monday, arguing that \u201cit is a law school theory.\u201d But public schools are teaching young children \u201cto be skeptical about the default position of whiteness in American education,\u201d he said. White students \u201care hungry\u201d for CRT, he claimed. CRT is resisted by \u201cpeople who are not used to seeing black people be the indices, the index, the measure of who are as a nation,\u201d Dyson said.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/glennkirschner2?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@glennkirschner2<\/a> .<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MalcolmNance?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MalcolmNance<\/a> .<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/B52Malmet?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@B52Malmet<\/a> .<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JudyPete?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@JudyPete<\/a> &#8220;American Democracy Is Only As Good As We Are Willing To Fight For It.&#8221; \u2013 Michael Eric Dyson <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/nMBpFhUtXm\">pic.twitter.com\/nMBpFhUtXm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ChattJazz (@ChattJazz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ChattJazz\/status\/1475797706899693568?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 28, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe know that the integral part of an American educational system is to attack the intelligence of black kids,\u201d Dyson asserted, adding that the racist structures of America mean black students face \u201cgetting kicked out of school at 4\u201d years old and \u201cbeing overpoliced by overzealous guardians of our safety.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Dyson has spent years accusing \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michael-eric-dyson-vicious-police-america-hank-berrien\">vicious police forces of America<\/a>\u201d of having \u201cvictimized\u201d the black community, a Gallup <a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/316571\/black-americans-police-retain-local-presence.aspx\">poll<\/a> released at the height of the Black Lives Matter riots found that 81% of black Americans wanted policing to remain at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/poll-4-out-of-5-black-americans-against-cutting-policing-of-their-communities\">the same or higher levels<\/a> in their communities.<\/p>\n<p>After a national grassroots backlash against CRT-themed public school curricula swept the country, CNN and MSNBC claimed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/7-lying-media-outlets-claiming-crt-isnt-being-taught-in-public-schools\">public schools do not teach Critical Race Theory<\/a>.

The Loudoun County Public School system <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/public-school-graphic-dubs-christians-as-privileged-women-children-as-oppressed\">handed out a graphic<\/a> saying that Christians, white people, and people who speak English as their primary language are privileged, while non-Christians, immigrants, and gender non-conforming people experience \u201coppression\u201d in American society.
