Conclusion: Critical Thought About Critical Race Theory
Critical Race Theory as practiced by the Left, and Individual Freedom and Responsibility as practiced by the Right can both eliminate Oppression, but at what cost? The answer can be found by asking two similar questions about two other members of society whom we care about: how do you train a dog, and how do you raise a child? Do you beat them into submission, ridiculing them, berating them, abusing them so that they are afraid to cross you? Or do you build a respectful/loving relationship with them by caring for them, developing their independence, and guiding them with principles to live by so that they become productive members of the society in which they live?
Critical Race Theory as practiced by the Left does not eliminate oppression, it only transfers the balance of power to a different group who continues and expands the oppression in ways that are detrimental to the freedoms that our Founding Fathers fought so hard to guarantee. Don't let them put any label on you other than those labels that our Heavenly Father and our Constitution guarantee to unify us--we are humans, male and female, made in the image of God; we are Americans with the freedom to serve and protect; we are citizens with the duty to observe our laws and respect the rights of others. Any label that binds our citizenry into a single unified group is good for us all, and any label that to seeks to separate and divide us will only tear us apart. Positive individual relationships--not group identity--are the key to ending oppression in our system, so let's be a part of the solution by speaking out and taking action, not just passively believing it and watching it from the sidelines.
