Far leftists have been pushing radical critical race theory for some time.

But unfortunately a lot of it has been pushed by leftists not just in academia but in the government departments as well, in an attempt to change the nature of the country, to help radical leftist theory take hold.

It’s another incredibly important battle to take on so it’s pretty amazing that President Donald Trump would take it on at this point during his campaign when he has so many other things to do.

Trump announced on Tuesday afternoon that in addition to banning the teaching and instruction from government departments, he has banned the government from doing business with people and companies who promote this racist teaching, calling it “divisive and harmful.”

From Daily Wire:

“A few weeks ago, I BANNED efforts to indoctrinate government employees with divisive and harmful sex and race-based ideologies,” Trump tweeted. “Today, I’ve expanded that ban to people and companies that do business with our Country, the United States Military, Government Contractors, and Grantees. Americans should be taught to take PRIDE in our Great Country, and if you don’t, there’s nothing in it for you!”

Trump’s executive order says the aim is “to combat offensive and anti-American race and sex stereotyping and scapegoating.”

Today, however, many people are pushing a different vision of America that is grounded in hierarchies based on collective social and political identities rather than in the inherent and equal dignity of every person as an individual. This ideology is rooted in the pernicious and false belief that America is an irredeemably racist and sexist country; that some people, simply on account of their race or sex, are oppressors; and that racial and sexual identities are more important than our common status as human beings and Americans.

Why is this the particular move Trump took today so critically important? It has far reaching implications across many areas.

Imagine if you will all the companies that do business with the federal government. But they wouldn’t be doing business with them if they’re pushing this stuff. So this will have the effect to making these companies reevaluate pushing this kind of stuff and stop a lot of it from spreading elsewhere, not just in government. Not only that, but to get a federal grant, you will have to not be engaging in this kind of racist ideology. Imagine how that will influence academia, it may indeed stop a lot of indoctrination.

So not only will this be routed out of diversity programs, but also the DOJ will be looking to see if entities that push this are violating people’s civil rights.

It would be hard to overstate how important this could be.

Prepare for the leftist meltdown over this one, it will be of epic proportions, because this is one of their keys to pushing leftist theory on people.
