Columbia University professor and author John McWhorter recently made the comments during a PBS interview, which discussed critical race theory in schools.<\/p>\n<p>McWhorter criticized the creators of CRT by claiming the theory established a perspective that led people to deem everything as racist. In addition, McWhorter said this was no way to run a society and many people conformed to the ideology so they wouldn\u2019t get called out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter last summer, there was this educational opportunity many of these people saw where you could start saying that you needed to do this within this racial reckoning and if you don\u2019t do it, you\u2019re a racist,\u201d he explained. \u201cSo if you go against them, you get called a racist in the public square. For nine out of ten people, that\u2019s enough to make them follow along.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Straw man alert!<\/p>\n<p>OF COURSE we should teach about slavery &amp; racism (who are the 27% morons who allegedly don\u2019t?)<\/p>\n<p>What we should NOT teach is CRT: that slavery is the ONLY REASON America exists, that ALL white people are racists &amp; that America is irredeemably racist. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s BS. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JA15SVKBGA\">pic.twitter.com\/JA15SVKBGA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ted Cruz (@tedcruz) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1416845690899210247?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McWhorter recently released a new book titled \u201cWoke Racism,\u201d which explains how so-called anti-racist teaching is actually hurting minority communities.
