They also did this with the phrase \u201csexual preference,\u201d a common term that was suddenly deemed objectionable because Democrats needed to find a reason to call Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett a bigot.<\/p>\n<p>The latest example involves critical race theory, a recent trend of propaganda pushed by Democrats to claim America is inherently racist and that white people are all racist, whether consciously or not, and must atone for it. Sure, those aren\u2019t the words they use. They describe the radical ideology with terms like \u201cdiversity,\u201d \u201cinclusion\u201d and \u201cequity\u201d \u2013 all words that sound good on the surface, but are being used in discriminatory ways.<\/p>\n<p>Multiple states have passed or introduced legislation that would keep the radical ideology out of public schools, to keep children from being taught to either hate the color of their skin (if they\u2019re white) or to view white children as oppressors. In other words, to keep children from being taught to hate each other. Parents, teachers, students, and of course, Republicans, are revolting against CRT across the country, yet Democrats and their media supporters have begun to gaslight readers and viewers on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/new-york-times-wildly-distorts-state-bills-banning-critical-race-theory-claims-republicans-want-to-stop-teaching-slavery-and-racism\">reported<\/a>, The New York Times is the most high-profile outlet to spread falsehoods about the bills that have been introduced in these states.<\/p>\n<p>In&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/05\/20\/us\/texas-history-1836-project.html\">an article<\/a>&nbsp;titled \u201cTexas Pushes to Obscure the State\u2019s History of Slavery and Racism,\u201d the Times insists that the move to keep critical race theory out of public schools is a move to \u201cban teaching about the enduring legacies of slavery and segregationist laws, or that any state or the country is inherently racist or sexist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As journalist Christopher Rufo&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realchrisrufo\/status\/1396464770614661123?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1396464770614661123%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fthefederalist.com%2F2021%2F05%2F25%2Fnew-york-times-lies-about-red-state-bans-on-critical-race-theory-in-schools%2F\">noted<\/a>&nbsp;on Twitter: \u201cThis is a USSR-level lie. None of the bills prohibit schools from teaching about slavery or racism; they prohibit schools from compelling students to believe in race essentialism, collective guilt, and racial superiority theory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Times has been joined by the usual culprits in pushing false information about the movement to ban children from being taught to be racist. PolitiFact, for example, claimed legislation to ban CRT was a way to force teachers to \u201cconfin[e] their lessons to a limited view of American history and current events.\u201d That \u201climited view\u201d is to not include the new radical, historically false <em>interpretation<\/em> of American history foisted upon the public by the Times\u2019 \u201c1619 Project,\u201d which insists the whole point of founding America was for slavery (it wasn\u2019t). Numerous scholars have pointed out just how factually inaccurate the project\u2019s central themes are, yet the Times and Democrats continue to hold it up as some brilliant journalism (it\u2019s not).<\/p>\n<p>ABC News also <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/critical-race-theory-classroom-understanding-debate\/story?id=77627465\">joined<\/a> in the gaslighting last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome educators across the U.S.&nbsp;expanded their curriculums on racial inequality in response to the turbulent year of protests against police brutality and disproportionate police violence against Black people,\u201d&nbsp;the outlet claimed. \u201cSome curriculums now include more racialized historical events, such as the Tulsa race riot and the Rodney King case and the subsequent Los Angeles riots, that highlight the plight of Black and brown Americans in the United States. But those educators say their efforts are in danger due to these potential new restrictions on education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s not what the bills attempt to ban. ABC knows this.<\/p>\n<p>Democrats, yet again, are on the wrong side of history by trying to <em>bring back<\/em> government-enforced racism and segregation. The Federalist <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2021\/05\/11\/poll-three-quarters-of-americans-oppose-white-privilege-training\/\">reported<\/a> on a poll from Competitive Edge Research, released by Parents Defending Education, which found that 74% of respondents were \u201csomewhat or strongly opposed\u201d to their children being put through \u201cwhite privilege\u201d training and for schools to claim that white people are oppressors while non-white people are oppressed.<\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
