Author Leonydus Johnson on the Pernicious Rise of Critical Race Theory


Listen Later

We have been hearing these terms a lot lately coming from the leadership of many public schools across the United States.

“It’s a Diversity initiative."

“We are doing this to provide more equity and inclusion for our students."

This all sounds great but the reality is our schools are training up a generation of students to view themselves as victims.

Sadly, many progressives today perpetuate the idea that we can fix our society by emphasizing opportunities and inherited guilt of people groups based on the color of their skin.

Leonydus Johnson has been heavily criticized by progressives as a traitor of his own race for his views on Critical Race Theory. As an African-American male, he has been vilified because he has focused on establishing color-based collectives rather than focusing on the merits of individuals.


In his latest book, “Raising Victims: The Pernicious Rise of Critical Race Theory", Johnson explores Critical Race Theory’s influence in education and the media, explaining how colorblindness is the only way to achieve the society that Martin Luther King, Jr. dreamed of … that we should be judged by the content of our character not the color of our skin.
 
Johnson joins us on the Crossmap Podcast to talk about why critical race theory contradicts itself. Listen as he shares how people can reasonably have belief in Christian principles and in CRT at the same time and how focusing on race can change our identity and isolate us.
