We are in the middle of a communist takeover. The playbook is exactly the same as the one used in the Soviet Union, Communist China, Eastern Europe, Vietnam, Cambodia, Cuba, and Venezuela, with a few of the details adjusted to fit the American model. The question is, can we stop the communist revolution that is in its final phase in America, or will we hoist the red flag of communism ourselves with willing hands and compliant minds?
The Marxist philosophy that class struggle is a constant, and communism must use that struggle to put itself into power, and to maintain that power, has visited the shores of America before. But now, the enemy is not only at the gates, they are within our institutions, and they are orchestrating a communist revolution in the hopes of bringing down American Liberty forever. It is creepy how fast the Marxist/Communist racism tactic of Critical Race Theory (a divide and conquer strategy through Marxist claims of class struggle) has seeped into our American System. The truth is that the elements of a communist revolution are alive and well in our institutions, and it is thriving to the point that the younger generation has bought into the whole communist line of thinking and they are carrying out the communist agenda happily and willingly.
The poison of Marx’s class struggle agenda has even invaded our seminaries. For example, in the article linked above, communistic social justice concepts have even invaded places like the Princeton Theological Seminary. The seminary is requiring its students to attend “anti-racism” training sessions that are nothing less than Marxist class struggle indoctrination.
Legal challenges designed to acknowledge the difference between education and indoctrination are on the move, but as we’ve seen in universities across the country, the standards and curriculums, along with the indoctrination sessions, are careening more and more to the left. The attacks against conservative and moderate students and faculty have become vicious, but attacks are even being leveled against liberals for not being radical enough. In place are constant mandatory instruction sessions in far-left views on race, gender, and sexuality, and the level of severity is on the rise. “Students and faculty are told what they must think and say while submitting to “trainings” that require them to confess to, or otherwise accept guilt for, the taint of whiteness, or to defer to nonwhite and LGBTQ students or both.”
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.” — Benjamin Franklin
Culture is looking the other way. Media is dismissing the claims that critical race theory and anti-racism training are in place as being an over-exaggeration, and that the presence of such indoctrinational techniques are simply a benign way to encourage meaningful conversations. The idea that it is coercive and radical in nature is a conspiracy theory. Nothing to see here. Move along.
“Students and faculty of all races and ethnicities have increasingly been objecting to diversity trainings that label people as oppressors or oppressed based on their group identity rather than focusing on the importance of treating every individual with equal worth and dignity… increasingly, these students and parents have been paying a steep price for challenging the official orthodoxy of the educational elite.”
Most students choose, however reluctantly, to go along with this sort of “training” rather than challenge it.
…being ordered to say something that one does not believe has been held by the Supreme Court to violate the First Amendment guarantee of free speech since a 1943 decision barred public schools from requiring children to recite the Pledge of Allegiance. Private institutions such as Princeton Theological Seminary are not bound by the First Amendment. But courts have construed the assurances of freedom of thought and speech that most private universities (and seminaries) provide in their promotional literature and handbooks as contractually binding commitments to students who choose to attend.
In the case of the indoctrination that Keiderling from the above linked article was forced to attend, students were separated into three Zoom meeting groups: a “white-only group,” which students were told “creates a space where we can really grapple with our Whiteness and how we’ve been socialized” without “harm[ing] our colleagues and co-students of color”; a group of “students who identify as Black, Indigenous, or a person of color”; and a racially integrated group for those uncomfortable with segregation.
A “Report From the Antiracism Task Force” sent to students and faculty by group’s chairperson, the Rev. Dr. Victor Aloyo Jr., said: “It is imperative to offer white and white-passing constituents opportunities to grow in their understanding of white privilege and white supremacy and their responsibility to dismantle it, both in their individual lives and within the Seminary. … Faculty, administration, students, and staff will be required to attend seminars on antiracism conducted by an external trainer. The seminars will include Implicit Bias assessment and training as a first step in creating an Equity Lens, which is essential to begin the difficult work of developing antiracism philosophy and practice.”
“Whiteness is a form of structural sin that white people are embedded into,” this report claims.
…the seminary’s training session tried to tell students how to think about transsexualism, transgenderism, and gender ideology – including “preferred pronouns” that differ from a person’s birth sex. “Every time someone’s name appeared in the training, their pronouns were given,” he recalls. The fairly clear message was, he said: “Not only are we going to train you about how to be anti-racist, we are going to make it crystal clear, over and over again, that we think gender is something we can choose, and it is independent of who each person is physically and biologically.” Submitting to such training would, he felt, conflict with his religious beliefs.
And that is all biblical how?
We are being told that being white is “something to repent for.” Is that not using racism in a claimed effort to reduce racism in America?
Again, it all falls in line with the Marxist tactic of class struggle, divide and conquer, and only government can solve the issue by making us all equal through equity in misery. If you have nothing in the end, we are all the same.
As Christians are we supposed to be treating each other differently based on race? Of course not. “In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek, neither slave nor free.”
Dividing America is not a solution for wrongs, but a tactic for destroying our God-given access to our natural rights, and dismantling the system of liberty we have prospered under for over two centuries.
Liberty must include freedom of thought, and freedom of speech; not the coercive tactics of a political agenda designed to shape our thoughts and mandate our speech.
How do you win a spot at National Minority Supplier Development Council’s table? By convincing the organization’s officials that you deserve one of its coveted official Race Card™s to play for fun and profit. How does the NMSDC decide if you’re worthy of their coveted Race Card™? Simple: The group defines a minority as “an individual who is at least 25 percent Asian, Black, Hispanic or Native American.” To do that, one literally must submit a driver’s license, a passport, a birth certificate, or the birth certificate of one’s parent or child in order to prove one has the “right” racial group. And the NMSDC has a clear definition of who is right, and who is wrong.
If you are going to say there is a national anthem only for black people, isn’t that racist on its face?
