A CRT ‘Definition’

What is the definition of Critical Theory (Postcolonial, Queer, Race, Gender, Disability Theories)? It is quite simple:  "Identity Based Marxism." As such, it is antithetical to our constitutional, representative republic and the securing of our God-given rights.

Recent history has taught us much about infections, especially viruses. Critical Theory should be thought of as a disease. Founder John Dickenson was fond of saying that tyranny was a disease, and that the most effective course of action should be to "oppose a disease at its beginning."

We are by now all too familiar with the tenants of virology: identification, isolation, treatment and prevention. These principles are easily applied to Critical Theory. The reservoirs for this disease are our schools. Once infected, our children carry these destructive thoughts throughout society. If not countered, our constitutional republic and our liberties will perish within this decade. The time for action is now. Critical Theory needs to be isolated and quarantined to the dustbin of failed social theories.

To summarize, Critical Theory is "Identity Based Marxism," and to oppose this disease at its beginning, we must have "Separation of School and State."
