When we see this flag we know that the person flying it lives in a different America than we do. When we see this flag, we question your intelligence. We know to avoid you. It is a symbol of hatred.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lex Scott, the chapter\u2019s founder, was hardly sorry when called out on the statement. \u201cEver since we put up the post, our page has been flooded with hatred from people who fly the flag,\u201d said Scott. \u201cAnd we want to thank those people for proving our point.\u201d It seems that all flag-waving patriots are to be lumped in with the Ku Klux Klan, because according to Scott, the Klan \u201cproudly\u201d waves the flag at their rallies. I\u2019m sure it would never occur to Scott that her categorical smear smacks of the same type of shameful mindset that drives racism.<\/p>\n<p>Scott\u2019s statements are not representative of the left, you say? Well, how often have you heard a progressive condemn or even mildly criticize Black Lives Matter? Have you ever heard one criticize its Marxist roots? Aren\u2019t you more likely to see leftists defending the organization and imploring us to understand its genuine grievances?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just Black Lives Matter \u2014 not by a long shot. Pretty much the entire leftist freight train is steamrolling its way through our cultural, educational and media institutions \u2014 even our bar associations \u2014 not to stamp out actual racism but to ensure that it thrives, to force people to obsess on it as much as they do and to divide us as a people along racial lines.<\/p>\n<p>A friend\u2019s son was given an assignment in a university writing class requiring him, essentially, to explain why white people are privileged and bad. You can nitpick over my words, but you\u2019ve surely heard similar stories. But be careful that you don\u2019t confirm that you\u2019ve heard of such experiences lest you be accused of \u201cwhite fragility,\u201d you know, the unwillingness to condemn yourself as a racist for what others may or may not have done, and your audacity in disputing the narrative. Just imagine being wrongly accused of one of the most egregious sins imaginable and lifting one of your pinkies in self-defense. How dare you!<\/p>\n<p>Consider a less anecdotal example. American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten asserted that many GOP legislators \u201care bullying teachers (on the subject of race) and trying to stop us from teaching students accurate history.\u201d She shared her views during a livestreamed conference billed as \u201cHow to Be an Antiracist.\u201d This teacher\u2019s union has some 1.7 million members, incidentally.<\/p>\n<p>Illustrating her formidable skill at projection, she allowed that these Republicans might just be trying to \u201craise the temperature on race relations because of the next election.\u201d Even more delusionally, she claimed that \u201cculture warriors are labeling any discussion of race, racism or discrimination as (critical race theory) to try to make it toxic\u201d \u2014 as if conservatives launched the so-called culture wars, and as if we are the ones toxifying society through endless, fraudulent stereotypical racial smears.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, Weingarten is outraged that 26 states \u2014 so far \u2014 have introduced bills or taken other action to limit or ban the teaching of critical race theory in public schools. She\u2019s not alone. The National Education Association just passed a resolution to \u201cfight back against anti-CRT rhetoric.\u201d The stated intent of the broader resolution \u2014 New Business Item 39 \u2014 is to share and publicize research that \u201ccritiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society.\u201d Orwell was obviously a piker.<\/p>\n<p>The NEA also allocated $56,500 to \u201cresearch organizations attacking educators doing anti-racist work.\u201d And they want to talk to us about bullying?<\/p>\n<p>These progressive educators don\u2019t think it\u2019s appropriate for parents to stand up against teaching ideas euphemistically dressed up as \u201caccurate history\u201d even though poll after poll shows that a strong majority of Americans have a negative view of critical race theory?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m old enough \u2014 actually, my kids are old enough \u2014 to remember when our society overwhelmingly embraced Martin Luther King Jr.\u2019s dream that all people be judged by the content of the character rather than the color of their skin. How far we\u2019ve descended.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t be bullied by those seeking to intimidate you with false charges of racism from standing up for your children, for accurate history and for promoting the laudatory goal of seeing and treating people of all races as individuals made in God\u2019s image.<\/p>\n<p><em>David Limbaugh is a writer, author and attorney.
