The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 77
Critical Education Theory Series, Part 13
A common term of art in the current educational milieu is racial literacy. In fact, here is the giant and influential educational company Pollyanna, Inc., talking about how central racial literacy is to their K-8 education programs. What is racial literacy, though? As you will not be surprised to learn, it is the racial repackaging of Marxist education Theorist Paulo Freire’s critical literacy model using Race Marxism (Critical Race Theory) in place of Critical Marxism (Critical Theory, or neo-Marxism). In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, James Lindsay explores racial literacy in the words of two of its own scholars, making clear how shoddy their so-called “research” really is, at bottom, and that, in fact, “racial literacy” means the priority of the Race Marxification of education, which merely takes Freire’s Marxist education project (Critical Pedagogy) one step further. Join him to gain the confidence you need to understand this concept and push back against it when you see it in your kids’ schools.

I used to be interested in Sociology as a field of study. Then I noticed during one of my classes that the “articles” we were reading were based on very small-scale, anecdotal observations. Observations of just a few people were extrapolated to come up with some whole theory of how people think and act in a certain situation. It was very unscientific and I lost interest in the field.
Regarding your recent tweet (https://www.tumbex.com/beasiannow.tumblr/posts), Western Marxists ought to be ready to put on their Ceausescu face( https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=a0zIH_SunPE&t=668s) or better yet their Jiang Qing face (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=unuGt6Bq2io)
Lots to absorb , James , and im listening . It’s disturbing how deep this horrible ideology has seeped so deep in our systems , and , this brainwash in the education academies , certainly are the origins .
I won’t be comfortable about where America is going , until I see people rise up as powerfuly as we saw the BLM protests , against this neo Marci agenda.
Mid term , or president elections , won’t come close to really confronting this , it can be nothing short of a purge , and , I’m not sure if Americans have it in them now , to really rise up against this, huge damage has already been done.
Thanks for your enlightening insights to this disgusting, insidious ideology .
Here, here. Well said.
According to me racial literacy is an in depth understanding and complete grasp of the language of every culture on earth. Unfortunately there are no racially literate people.

The experts on either side never mention what comes next when all these policies fail. Isn’t CRT the next step to all the other failed social engineering projects from the past? So what comes after this? I’d like to know. Thanks
