A new report out of <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/minnesota" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Minnesota</a> shows yet again that when <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/critical-race-theory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Critical Race Theory</a> is put into practice, it is nothing more than overt anti-white <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/racism" target="_blank" rel="noopener">racism</a>.
Supposedly to correct past wrongs, the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers union has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teachers-union-requires-white-teachers-be-fired-before-educators-of-color-to-remedy-past-discrimination">conjured up a collective bargaining agreemen</a>t that stipulates that white teachers be fired before their non-white colleagues. The Minneapolis Public School District not only agreed to that firing practice but is now defending it.
Under the contract, non-white teachers are considered a “population underrepresented among licensed teachers.&#8221; That racial category means that for some reason they should be prevented from being laid off first — regardless of their educational qualifications.
The recent contract agreement between the union and Minneapolis public schools states, “Starting with the Spring 2023 Budget Tie-Out Cycle, if excessing a teacher who is a member of a population underrepresented among licensed teachers in the site, the District shall excess the next least senior teacher, who is not a member of an underrepresented population.”
“Excessing” refers to the reduction of staff.
The justification for such blatant racial discrimination is purportedly to rectify “past discrimination.”
In a statement given to the Washington Times, the Minneapolis school district actually defended its racist policies.
“To remedy the continuing effects of past discrimination, Minneapolis Public Schools and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT) mutually agreed to contract language that aims to support the recruitment and retention of teachers from underrepresented groups as compared to the labor market and to the community served by the school district,” the district <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/aug/16/minneapolis-school-district-defends-deal-lay-white/">told</a> the D.C.-based paper.
If that sounds familiar, it is because it is nearly identical to the advice from one of America’s most “preeminent” Critical Race Theory hucksters, Dr. Ibram X. Kendi.
“The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination,” Kendi <a href="https://highlights.sawyerh.com/highlights/Wc3cIP436n60JRoYYTVe" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> in his seminal book, “How To Be An Anti-Racist.”
&#8220;The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination,&#8221; he added. &#8220;The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.”
Those principles once laid out and foisted upon college kids across America are now being played out in the real world.
What’s worse is that the educators behind the anti-white discrimination want it to be a nationwide model of success.
“It can be a national model, and schools in other states are looking to emulate what we did,” Edward Barlow, a band teacher at Anwatin Middle School and a member of the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers executive board, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/teachers-union-requires-white-teachers-be-fired-before-educators-of-color-to-remedy-past-discrimination">told</a> the Star Tribune.
“Even though it doesn’t do everything that we wanted it to do, it’s still a huge move forward for the retention of teachers of color,&#8221; he claimed.
Absent of any qualification is the idea of merit; what reigns supreme in this agreement is the skin color of the teacher. In other words, it is a monumental step backward in the name of &#8220;progress.&#8221;
In the name of social justice, the students — as well as white educators whose only sin is being white — are put last.

Minneapolis Public Schools Defend Anti-White Firing Practices That Put Critical Race Theory Into Practice

Critical Race Theory

Minnesota

WASHINGTON – The National Archives Museum, home of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, now puts woke ideologies like <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/critical-race-theory">Critical Race Theory</a> and the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/1619-project">1619 Project</a> alongside the nation&#8217;s founding principles.
The museum made a hard left turn under the leadership of former Archivist David Ferriero, a 2009 appointee of then-President Obama who also <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2022/08/15/from-bureaucrat-hack-to-grand-jury-witch-hunt-the-dojs-trump-raid-smells-like-spygate/">had a hand</a> in the Department of Justice&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/doj-to-unseal-more-documents-related-to-trump-raid-refuses-to-unseal-key-document">ongoing investigation</a> of former President Trump. Ferriero, who called January 6, 2021, “the worst day of [his] life,” as The Washington Post <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/history/2022/05/11/archives-retires-jan-6-ferriero-mob/">reported</a>, resigned in April 2022 to ensure that a Democrat selected his replacement.
“It’s important to me, that this administration replace me,” said Ferriero, whose accusations about Trump taking items from the White House <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/national-archives-official-notified-doj-trump-probe-declined-clinton-emails">reportedly</a> led to the Washington grand jury that approved a search of Trump&#8217;s Mar-a-Lago home. “I’m concerned about what’s going to happen in 2024.&#8221;
Even though he&#8217;s gone, Ferriero&#8217;s mark on the National Archives is obvious to visitors. The official cathedral of our nation’s history, the Archives’ museum on Constitution Avenue, reflects a decidedly negative and partisan slant.
Visitors to the museum first enter the <a href="http://recordsofrights.org/">David M. Rubenstein Gallery</a>, sponsored by a hedge fund magnate who bought the Magna Carta and at whose Nantucket home Joe Biden <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/biden-vacation-democratic-donor-20-million-kiawah-island-estate">stayed</a> last year. Rubenstein formerly chaired the Duke University Board of Trustees, and Ferriero was a vice provost at the school. The exhibit focuses almost entirely on America’s failure to live up to its founding ideals.
“Americans of African descent were barred from exercising the rights guaranteed to all citizens,” says a sign near the front, with additional text explaining that slaves built the White House. Next is a section titled “Reproductive Rights,” which says that Margaret Sanger, the eugenicist founder of abortion provider Planned Parenthood, was a nurse who “dedicated herself to the women’s rights struggle.”
The exhibit highlights topics like the persecution of Native Americans and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II, with headers like “Separate &amp; Unequal,” “Denied the Right to Vote,” &#8220;We the (Straight) People,&#8221; and “Murder on Christmas Day.” It paints restrictions on immigration as racist, with signs saying, “Klan women press for quotas” and “No idiots, criminals, or paupers.”

The gift shop sells the 1619 Project book — which, despite historians’ overwhelming <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/historians-shred-nyt-1619-project-claiming-slavery-defines-america">rejection</a> of its premise, claims that colonists fought for independence from Britain to preserve slavery — in not just one, but multiple locations. One bookshelf in the gift store consists of titles like &#8220;Who Was Harvey Milk?&#8221;, &#8220;What Is Juneteenth?&#8221;, &#8220;Who Is Michelle Obama&#8221;, and &#8220;I Am Sonya Sotomayor.&#8221;

An apparent sports section consists of a cookbook from Shaquille O’Neal and books about Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Venus and Serena Williams. The gift shop even has mousepads featuring Ketanji Jackson, the newest member of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Despite the heavy focus on paraphernalia about black Americans who often had little to do with American history, one black man who did was conspicuously absent. When asked whether anything about Clarence Thomas was available, a clerk looked confused.
“We’ve got a kids&#8217; book about the Supreme Court that has Clarence Thomas in it, but we don’t have anything about Clarence Thomas,” she said.
<h1>&#8220;We don’t have anything about Clarence Thomas,” an employee said.</h1>
Critical Race Theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi&#8217;s book, &#8220;Stamped,&#8221; is for sale, as is a book simply titled &#8220;U.S. Presidents,&#8221; whose cover features Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and George Washington, but not Donald Trump.

The <a href="https://www.archivesfoundation.org/board-of-directors/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">board</a> of the National Archives Foundation, a nonprofit which raises money for the government entity, is advised by leftist filmmaker <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/features/ken-burns-documentaries-benjamin-franklin-donald-trump-pbs-1235182021/">Ken Burns</a> and identity politics-obsessed former CNN journalist <a href="https://www.matteroffact.tv/watch-soledad-obrien-hosts-to-be-an-american-identity-race-and-justice-3/">Soledad O’Brien</a>. The store is a <a href="https://www.nationalarchivesstore.org/collections/the-kamala-collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">veritable shrine</a> to Kamala Harris, featuring busts, bobbleheads, socks, and purported inspiring quotes from a woman best known for being an embarrassingly bad public speaker.

On the second floor, museum visitors are treated to what comes across as a plea to abolish the filibuster, with headlines blaring, “The Majority Loses?&#8221; and “When having the most votes isn’t enough.” Only the Rotunda, which houses the nation’s founding documents, remains relatively untouched by partisanship.
The moment visitors exit the museum, they are confronted with a different reality. Directly outside the door, a sidewalk vendor was doing brisk business on a recent day selling paraphernalia mocking President Joe Biden.
“Let’s go Brandon!” an African immigrant shouted approvingly at the vendor as he walked past.

The ongoing effort to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/second-amendment">ban so-called assault weapons</a> is similar to America’s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/civil-war">bloody fight to end slavery</a>, a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/cbs-news">CBS</a> contributor and chief proponent of Critical Race Theory (CRT) said Sunday.
In a segment commemorating Juneteenth, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ibram-x-kendi">Ibram X. Kendi</a> <a href="https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/nb/mark-finkelstein/2022/06/19/cbss-kendi-gun-rights-advocates-are-people-who-fought-slavery?utm_source=SocialDog">told</a> &#8220;Face the Nation&#8221; host Margaret Brennan he teaches his young daughter that the struggle for emancipation continues today. Kendi, the network’s &#8220;Racial Justice Contributor,&#8221; said “freedom” today means liberation from poverty and guns.
&#8220;I&#8217;m actually going to teach her that &#8230; throughout this nation&#8217;s history, there&#8217;s [sic] been two perspectives on freedom, really two fights for freedom,” Kendi said. “Enslaved people were fighting for freedom from slavery, and enslavers were fighting for the freedom to enslave.&#8221;
“And in many ways that sort of contrast still exists today,” he continued. “There are people who are fighting for freedom from assault rifles, freedom from poverty, freedom from exploitation. And there are others who are fighting for freedom to exploit, freedom to have guns, freedom to maintain inequality.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

Kendi, the author of controversial books including “How to Be an Antiracist,” believes America is plagued by systemic racism and white privilege. He argues that whites must acknowledge their privilege and implicit bias, as well as America’s systemic racism, to oppose racism.
Kendi said he is raising his daughter to believe the effort to purge America of racism is like the fight to end slavery.
“I really want to get her to understand there are multiple kinds of freedom, and she should be fighting for and joining with those who are fighting for freedom from something like slavery,” he said. “And the way kids can understand it is, kids understand bad rules. My daughter understands what&#8217;s not fair. And we can teach children that there&#8217;s [sic] bad rules in society. There are things that are not fair in society. And that&#8217;s why, let&#8217;s say black people, have less. It&#8217;s not because they are less.”
Gun control has been thrust back into the spotlight following mass shootings last month in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/buffalo-mass-shooting-suspect-had-been-flagged-as-troubled-a-year-ago-report">Buffalo</a> and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/uvalde">Uvalde, Texas</a>. While <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/02/03/what-the-data-says-about-gun-deaths-in-the-u-s/">most firearms killings</a> in the U.S. involve handguns, both mass shootings from last month&#8217;s attacks used AR-15-style weapons. They are often referred to as &#8220;assault weapons,&#8221; but that term is not used by the industry, and <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/house-democrat-floats-1000-tax-on-ar-15-style-rifles">lawmakers have struggled to define</a> what it means in order to draft legislation.
A <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/support-for-banning-semi-automatic-long-guns-hits-all-time-low-left-of-center-poll">recent poll</a> by Quinnipiac University found that support for banning semi-automatic long guns was at an all-time low and that Americans do not support limiting the number of guns someone can own. It also concluded that Americans do not expect Congress to do anything on gun control.
“In today’s poll, 50 percent of registered voters support a nationwide ban on the sale of assault weapons, while 45 percent oppose it,” the poll <a href="https://poll.qu.edu/poll-release?releaseid=3848">said</a>.

Netflix has pulled the plug on Dr. Ibram X. Kendi&#8217;s show, &#8220;Antiracist Baby,&#8221; along with several other proposed offerings that would present a nod — or a total-body immersion experience — to woke culture.
According to a <a href="https://variety.com/2022/film/news/netflix-animated-series-wings-of-fire-antiracist-baby-1235269747/">report from Variety</a>, Kendi&#8217;s &#8220;Antiracist Baby&#8221; — which was aimed at preschoolers — was one of three animated shows to get the axe. The others were the Ava DuVernay-produced &#8220;Wings of Fire&#8221; series and a film titled &#8220;With Kind Regards From Kindergarten.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The streaming service also canned another Kendi project, &#8220;Stamped: Racism, Antiracism and You,&#8221; which was intended to be a &#8220;companion piece&#8221; to Kendi&#8217;s &#8220;Stamped From the Beginning.&#8221; The latter, according to Variety, is in post-production and is described as &#8220;a hybrid documentary and scripted feature that delves into race in the United States.&#8221;
Despite a <a href="https://deadline.com/2022/05/netflix-layoffs-us-employees-1235026085/">drop-off in revenue growth</a> that cost 150 primarily U.S.-based employees their jobs this past week, sources at Netflix told Variety that the decision to cancel those projects was not financially motivated. &#8220;The decisions not to move forward with these projects were creative rather than cost related, meaning they would have taken place regardless of the company’s slower revenue growth,&#8221; Variety reported.
&#8220;They were doing an “Antiracist Baby” TV show? Good grief,&#8221; Mark Hemingway <a href="https://twitter.com/Heminator/status/1527363113778982928">responded</a>.

In addition, Netflix recently announced it was canceling a planned feminist animated series from actress-turned-exiled-royal Meghan Markle.
&#8220;The series was supposed to revolve around a 12-year-old girl &#8216;on a journey of self discovery&#8217; inspired by the legacy of famous women from history,&#8221; Page Six reported on May 1. &#8220;The executive producer on the series — which was being created through Markle’s and hubby Prince Harry’s Archewell Productions — was Elton John’s husband David Furnish.&#8221;

&#8220;Entertaining the world is an amazing opportunity and also a challenge because viewers have very different tastes and points of view. So we offer a wide variety of TV shows and movies, some of which can be provocative,&#8221; the statement read. &#8220;We support the artistic expression of the creators we choose to work with &#8230; we let viewers decide what’s appropriate for them, versus having Netflix censor specific artists or voices.&#8221;

Megyn Kelly blasted her kids&#8217; new school for allegedly discussing how to invite &#8220;raging racists&#8221; like Ibram X. Kendi, which she learned after she had pulled her children from a private school in New York that was pushing gender identity on her third-grade son.
During the Sirius XM &#8220;The Megyn Kelly Show&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ywtbiBr63A&amp;t=321s">podcast</a> Tuesday, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/megyn-kelly-levels-lia-thomas-says-this-is-not-the-womens-champion-and-has-some-nerve-pretending-to-be">host</a> was speaking with guest political commentator Douglas Murray about his new book &#8220;The War on the West: How to Prevail in the Age of Unreason.&#8221; Murray explained that people like Kendi and Robin DiAngelo need to be called out for what they are, describing them as &#8220;racists.&#8221;
&#8220;Even at our school&#8230; you know we talked about this last time, we fled the New York schools because they were so crazy Left and woke and part of this war,&#8221; Kelly shared. &#8220;And we found more reasonable schools in Connecticut&#8230; but they&#8217;ve just formed a sort of diversity group at one of the schools.&#8221;
&#8220;And the meetings, which I&#8217;ve been attending, because I want to know what&#8217;s happening,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Are talking about &#8216;how do we get Ibram X. Kendi here?&#8217; &#8216;How do we get Robin DiAngelo here?&#8217; &#8230;Like, what could you be thinking?&#8221;

&#8220;&#8216;You&#8217;re thinking about inviting raging racists, anti-white racists to come to the school to try to influence what the agenda, the curriculum, the teachers?'&#8221; Kelly continued. &#8220;I will fight you. I will fight you.&#8221;
Murray looked horrified on the video at learning about the podcast host&#8217;s kid&#8217;s school&#8217;s plans and said she &#8220;absolutely&#8221; should have that reaction.
&#8220;It&#8217;s worse. They are attaching electrodes to the brains of young Americans,&#8221; the British author replied. &#8220;They are wiring them to be miswired throughout their life.&#8221;
The former Fox News host interjected and said &#8220;on this and the trans stuff too.&#8221;
&#8220;Here is the thing again, I am responsible, as you are for what we have done in our lives,&#8221; Murray shared. &#8220;For mistakes that we&#8217;ve made, the wrongs we&#8217;ve done people and everybody in the world has. And we have to deal with that with our own conscious and try to rectify that&#8230; But none of us is responsible for things we have not done.&#8221;
&#8220;I am not responsible for anything that was done centuries before my birth by people who may have looked like me,&#8221; he added.
Murray later talked about reparations and asked who &#8220;honestly thinks&#8221; this is the way to create &#8220;racial or social harmony.&#8221; He said when in fact it is &#8220;almost the definition of how to put a pipe bomb underneath your society and then set it off.&#8221;
Kelly replied, &#8220;which may be the point.&#8221;

‘I Will Fight You’: Megyn Kelly Blasts Kids’ New School For Wanting To Invite ‘Raging Racists’ Like Ibram X. Kendi

A conference of librarians in Texas this week featured a lineup of drag queens, a speech from Critical Race Theory (CRT) firebrand Ibram X. Kendi and evangelizing about veganism in what one parent advocate called a &#8220;huge F-you to parents.&#8221;
The keynote speaker at the Texas Library Association&#8217;s &#8220;After Hours&#8221; session in Fort Worth was Alyssa Edwards, also known as Justin Johnson, who the program described as a drag performer and television personality. Edwards&#8217;s speech was followed by &#8220;Drag Queen Storytime,&#8221; featuring self-styled drag queen where Miss Jenna Skyy reading to the attendees.
&#8220;What they rely on is the fact that librarians have one of the highest goodwill ratings of any profession, so they use it to get away with a lot, because no one suspects that a librarian would groom their children,&#8221; Dan Kleinman, a parent advocate who runs the group SafeLibraries, told The Daily Wire. &#8220;This is a direct screw-you to all the legislators down there,&#8221; he said. &#8220;This is a huge F-you to parents.&#8221;
Parent groups around the nation have raised objections to the &#8220;Drag Queen Story Hour&#8221; trend, in which public libraries host men dressed as women to read stories to young children. In 2019, the Houston Public Library was rocked by a scandal when it was revealed that a drag queen it brought in to read to kids had been convicted of sexually assaulting an 8 year old, <a href="https://www.khou.com/article/news/local/houston-public-library-admits-registered-child-sex-offender-read-to-kids-in-drag-queen-storytime/285-becf3a0d-56c5-4f3c-96df-add07bbd002a">KHOU</a> reported. The library admitted it did not conduct a background check on the drag queen, in violation of its own guidelines.
The <a href="https://txla.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/TLA2022-FinalProgramUpdate_April.pdf">schedule</a> for this year&#8217;s statewide conference, held Monday and Tuesday revealed an agenda seemingly at odds with the red state&#8217;s majority views on CRT and gender ideology. Much of the two-day program had little to do with providing books to citizens, but rather pushing fringe leftist ideology, including one session on turning libraries into &#8220;Veganbraries,&#8221; which would use libraries to push the vegan lifestyle.
The conference also featured a speech from critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi and one from Jerry Hawkins, the executive director of Dallas Truth, Racial Healing, &amp; Transformation, an initiative of the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, a major pusher of radical race theory.

Texas Library Association Conference Features A Drag Queen And Ibram Kendi

Texas

&#8220;Anti-racist&#8221; author Ibram Kendi spoke at Virginia&#8217;s largest housing event last year on the dime of a not-for-profit housing agency — which spent $25,000 for the keynote — comparing the United States to a house with &#8220;deeply racist&#8221; bedrooms, The Daily Wire has learned.
The speech was made at the 2021 Virginia Governor’s Housing Conference on November 10, days after Republican Glenn Youngkin won the gubernatorial race. Public records show Virginia Housing spent $25,000, plus a $393 hotel reimbursement. 
&#8220;Some of us are living in that liberated closet and there are many communities and organizations who have created very nice living rooms,” Kendi said with regard to restructuring America. “But the actual bedrooms and basement and kitchen and attic and everywhere else is [sic] deeply racist. There’s this perspective that it’s impossible to indeed tear down the house and build it.”
Kendi added, &#8220;Last I checked in housing, you examine a house, and you’re like ‘you know what, there’s [sic] too many issues here.’ The foundation itself is broken. And so they are better for the people who are going to live in it for us to create something totally new. I don’t understand why we can’t do that in our society.&#8221;
Virginia Housing is listed as one of five conference <a href="https://www.vaghc.com/why-attend-governors-Housing-Conference">partners</a> — two of which are federal agencies — for the three-day affair. The conference is an LLC and nonprofit. A committee composed of representatives from Virginia Housing and other partner groups selected the speakers, a spokesperson for Virginia Housing told The Daily Wire. 
&#8220;They choose the keynote speaker every year, based on the focus of that year’s conference,&#8221; the spokesperson said.
More than 900 people registered for the conference, Virginia Housing says. Each year, attendees include elected officials, policymakers, nonprofit heads, financial institutions, and others.
In his speech, the author also called for reparations — a policy related to redistributing goods to the descendants of African American slaves. He was asked by an audience member why it is “difficult” for people to consider reparations, and the author claimed taxpayers would not bear the burden for such a policy. He also said people are wrong for not thinking American is systemically racist.
“The short answer is because of the deep well of racism,” said Kendi. “The longer answer is the tremendous amount of hypocrisy. &#8230; I think people are opposed to it because first they’re taught that if the U.S. government provides reparations to enslaved people that they’re going to have to pay themselves. That’s not the case. Secondly, [they’re] taught that the reason for the racial wealth gap is not because of this sort of history of enslavement and Jim Crow.”
“There’s only one proposal on the table for the American people that has the capacity to eliminate the growing racial wealth gap — and that is reparations,” Kendi also said.

The weekend event was hosted in Norfolk and began eight days after Youngkin beat Democrat challenger Terry McAuliffe. Youngkin rallied around education and the growing discontent of parents amid schools embracing race and gender ideologies in the curricula. On his <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/governor-youngkin-signs-11-orders-on-day-one-in-office-includes-crt-ban-investigating-loudoun-county-officials">first</a> day in office, he banned the teaching and training of Critical Race Theory.
&#8220;The governor clearly won&#8217;t support hiring a divisive $25,000 Critical Race Theorist to espouse division,&#8221; a Youngkin spokesperson told The Daily Wire when asked what role, if any, he will play in the 2022 conference.

A media rep for Kendi did not respond to request for comment.
Northam, who implemented much of the equity policies and programs <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/youngkin-releases-education-report-on-efforts-to-fight-crt-discriminatory-programs">that Youngkin</a> is now rescinding, also spoke at the conference. He delivered a virtual 10-minute talk during a luncheon on November 11 from Dresden, Germany, while on a “trade mission,” <a href="https://youtu.be/vhfyoHxrnSE?t=1824">according to footage</a> obtained by The Daily Wire. 
“If we want thriving communities and we want everyone to have equitable access opportunity, then we have to create safe, affordable, and quality housing,” said Northam. 
Kendi has continued to make rounds across the country while being paid thousands of dollars to discuss systemic racism. 
His speech at the housing conference came after the publicly-funded University of Virginia (UVA) spent around $541 per minute to host him for a “racial equity” lecture in April, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/exclusive-uva-a-public-university-spent-nearly-541-per-minute-for-ibram-kendi-racial-equity-lecture">The Daily Wire</a> first reported. 
The Daily Wire has also exclusively obtained contracts showing The University of Kansas spent $17,000 in March 2020 to host Kendi, while Oregon State University spent $22,000 in April 2021. Like UVA, Virginia Housing contracted with Penguin Random House.

CRT’s Ibram Kendi Likens American ‘House’ To ‘Racist’ Nightmare In $25K Speech

The University of Virginia (UVA) spent $32,500, or about $541 per minute, to host prominent critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi for an hour to discuss “racial equity,” The Daily Wire has learned.
UVA contracted with Penguin Random House Speakers Bureau, according to an agreement obtained by The Daily Wire through the Freedom of Information Act. The virtual event took place on April 21 of last year, and according to the university, 876 people attended. It was a Q&amp;A, free to attend, and open to the public. 
“The University of Virginia welcomes speakers from a broad array of perspectives to our Grounds every academic year and we often do pay speakers fees or other compensation,” UVA spokesperson Brian Coy told The Daily Wire. “Offering our community access to a diverse set of speakers and points of view is an important part of our academic mission.” 
Young America’s Foundation (YAF), a conservative youth group that brings speakers to college campuses through its own funding, told The Daily Wire it is “not familiar” with UVA “bringing conservative speakers” and paying them or promoting the events. The university notably <a href="https://www.yaf.org/news/yaf-triumphs-liberal-bias-censorship-uva/">refused</a> to officially recognize YAF’s campus chapter in 2017, before changing course on the heels of a letter from the legal group Alliance Defending Freedom alleging violations of state law and the First Amendment. 
“It&#8217;s shameful that a public university would spend tens of thousands of dollars for such a racist figure to speak to their students,” YAF spokesperson Kara Zupkus said.

Kendi, who appeared as <a href="https://dei.virginia.edu/learning-series">part</a> of UVA’s Racial Equity Speaker Series, has written controversial books like “How to Be an Antiracist&#8221; and drawn criticism for promoting the ideas of systemic racism and white privilege. He argues that whites must acknowledge their privilege and implicit bias, as well as America’s systemic racism, to oppose racism. 
Other 2020-2021 series speakers were thinkers who have argued America is systemically racist, including Duke University professor Eduardo Bonilla-Silva — a sociologist who has claimed <a href="https://www.jstor.org/stable/23292648">that</a> America has normalized &#8220;the standards of white supremacy.&#8221; A separate contract obtained by The Daily Wire shows UVA’s diversity, equity, and inclusion division sponsored Silva&#8217;s November 2020 Zoom event for $10,000. Silva did not return a request for comment.
<div id="attachment_338741" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-338741" loading="lazy" class="wp-image-338741" src="https://www.dailywire.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM-1024x565.png" alt="" width="840" height="464" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM-1024x565.png 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM-300x166.png 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM-768x424.png 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM-1536x848.png 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2022/02/Screen-Shot-2022-02-04-at-12.09.13-AM.png 1576w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" />A portion of the contract between All American Entertainment and UVA.</div>
Penguin declined to comment, referring The Daily Wire to Kendi, whose media representative also did not respond to multiple emails. Neither the Silva nor Kendi events were recorded, UVA said. But such concealment is nothing new. 
As <a href="https://thefederalist.com/2021/12/09/exclusive-ibram-x-kendi-raked-in-45k-from-university-of-wisconsin-made-school-delete-lecture/">reported</a> by The Federalist in December 2021, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee paid $45,000, or about $207 per minute, for Kendi to promote his books and train faculty and students. The three-and-a-half-hour event was hidden through an “audiovisual recording addendum” Penguin had the school sign. Kendi’s remarks were then removed from a private server. 
Similarly, Kendi spoke at the University of Michigan in November 2020, as <a href="https://www.campusreform.org/article?id=18308">reported</a> by Campus Reform. The agreement between Penguin and the school said Michigan “shall not make an audio or video recording” and must send a video or audio copy to the agency within 30 days. Penguin had the university delete any recordings after 14 days, “unless otherwise agreed upon by the agency.&#8221;
UVA, meanwhile, has continued to make strides toward implementing racial equity on campus.
In summer 2020, a task force appointed by President Jim Ryan published a <a href="https://racialequity.virginia.edu/sites/g/files/jsddwu356/files/2020-08/RETFFinalSigned.pdf">report</a> calling for &#8220;more anti-racist education,&#8221; while recommending UVA make diversity initiatives &#8220;a central focus of leadership and governance&#8221; that &#8220;should pervade all decision-making.&#8221; The task force&#8217;s recommendations have led to a campus statue <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/photos-removal-george-rogers-clark-statue">removal</a> of revolutionary war officer George Rogers Clark — as well as the <a href="https://news.virginia.edu/content/board-votes-5-renaming-landscape-recommendations">renaming</a> of academic buildings.
Dave Gordon, director of the anti-critical race theory (CRT) political action committee Virginia Project, told The Daily Wire no “government institution” should be teaching or promoting any sort of “race-based philosophy.&#8221; 
“The right to equal protection under the law and race-based government are wholly incompatible,” he said. “For any CRT stuff, you automatically have a constitutional question that is front and center. It’s a modern version of a KKK rally. The Democrats have their little terror group on the ground level to attack political opponents and intimidate their ideology into stone.”
A public records <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/analysis-ibram-x-kendi-raked-in-over-300000-in-speaking-fees">analysis</a> by The College Fix in March 2021 showed campuses spent at least $300,000 in past years for Kendi lectures. The author founded and runs Boston University’s Center for Anti-Racist Research, and this upcoming June, he is set to publish a children’s <a href="https://www.ibramxkendi.com/goodnight-racism">book</a> titled “Goodnight Racism.&#8221; It is billed as a “social justice toolkit” for kids.
Other groups, including YAF, expressed that Kendi should not be barred from speaking on campus but that an institution should not be promoting social issues like CRT. The Jefferson Council, a UVA <a href="https://thejeffersoncouncil.com/">alumni</a> nonprofit, told The Daily Wire it is for open dialogue but also equal representation. &#8220;I think it&#8217;s wrong for them to bring speakers that promote only one point of view,&#8221; said President Bert Ellis, chairman and CEO of a venture capital firm based in Atlanta.
UVA’s College Republicans club expressed a similar sentiment. 
“Instead of giving time and money to academically unserious ideologues, the university should use its substantial resources to promote genuine learning,” said Ian Schwartz, a spokesperson and junior studying history and politics. “If the University wants to encourage substantial debate about current policy issues, they ought to also give a platform to prominent conservative figures.&#8221;
&#8220;Unfortunately, I have seen no evidence of their willingness to do this, nor do I expect to at any point in the near future.”

EXCLUSIVE: Public University UVA Spent Nearly $541 Per Minute For Ibram Kendi ‘Racial Equity’ Lecture

University of Virginia

No one knew quite what to expect from the highly-anticipated “Sex and the City” sequel series, “And Just Like That.” But anyone who’s been paying attention for the past few years must have known that the HBO Max series was destined to include woke messaging to update a show that’s been deemed “problematic” by modern standards.
The interesting detail about “And Just Like That,” however, is how the series addresses these new plot points. Instead of weaving leftist values into the storyline and making them seem natural, writers turned Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) into a total anti-racist wannabe. As the former lawyer tries to assimilate into her new role as a student at Columbia University, she makes a total fool of herself in part because the rules are so different now. 
Miranda’s shame-fest begins during her very first class at Columbia. After “misgendering” a fellow student, she admits to not recognizing her black teacher Dr. Nya Wallace (Karen Pittman) because of her braids. What follows is the most cringe-worthy speech in defense of her actions, where Miranda keeps saying the wrong things while attempting to justify her initial statement. And none of it even slightly resembles the confident, accomplished career woman from the original “Sex and the City” series. It&#8217;s almost like Miranda&#8217;s never seen a black person before.
Later, Miranda runs into her teacher attempting to get into a building without her ID. Even after embarrassing herself once before, Miranda leaps into action, subtly accusing the security card of being racist for refusing Dr. Wallace entry. But the professor chastises Miranda for getting involved.
“One of the important takeaways I got from ‘How to Be an Antiracist’ is if you see something, you have to speak on it. You have to call it out,” Miranda tells her prof.
“Well that’s very noble of you, even if a tad bit white savior complex, but the reality is you just inflamed a situation that was perfectly fine,” Dr. Wallace replies. 
“And Just Like That” writer Samantha Irby said during an interview with <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/12/and-just-like-that-cast-writers-diversity-season-1-1234888026/">Deadline</a> that the first two episodes of the new series “really lean into the uncomfortable conversations.” Apparently that means turning Miranda into a clueless “Karen” who can&#8217;t help quoting Critical Race Theory from Ibram X. Kendi.
Besides the racial themes, the new series introduces Carrie Bradshaw’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) new colleague Che Diaz (Sarah Ramirez), a “queer non-binary Mexican-Irish diva” podcaster with a clear agenda. At one point, Che says, “What can … a straight cis male personally do to eradicate the harmful patriarchal system of this gender binary compulsive heterosexuality?” with no trace of sarcasm. 
And once again this new, modern character is placed into the script to make the original “Sex and the City” ladies appear old and out-of-touch. When Carrie refuses to divulge to Che during a live broadcast if she masturbates, the podcast host becomes frustrated and says she needs to start sharing more graphic details of her sex life.
By the end of the episode, Carrie seems more willing to at least consider talking more openly about her masturbation habits. But this exchange is also introduced as a way to make the original “Sex and the City” ladies look incredibly clueless, which used to be Charlotte’s role to fill exclusively. 
There’s a good chance Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte will all get progressively more woke as the series progresses. But did we expect anything less?
“And Just Like That” airs Thursdays exclusively on HBO Max.

‘And Just Like That’ Turns Miranda Into Kendi-Quoting Anti-Racist In ‘Sex And The City’ Sequel Series

Critical Race Theorist and Boston University professor Ibram X. Kendi attributed Kyle Rittenhouse’s acquittal to a desire to “maintain white male supremacy.”
Rittenhouse — a teenager charged with murder for fatally shooting two men and injuring a third while defending himself during a riot in Kenosha, Wisconsin — was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-kyle-rittenhouse-found-not-guilty">declared</a> not guilty on Friday afternoon. Following the verdict, Kendi said on Twitter that he is “thinking about” an article he wrote last year in The Atlantic.
&#8220;They are fighting to maintain white male supremacy,” he quoted from the article. “Which is to say, they are defending law and order. Defending their America — where white men can rule and brutalize without consequence.&#8221;

The <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/09/armed-defenders-white-male-supremacy/616192/">article</a>, which discusses the summer of 2020 as the “summer of Trumpism,” denounces Trump for claiming that Rittenhouse was acting in self-defense — a conclusion supported by evidence revealed during the trial. As Kendi wrote:
<blockquote>The summer ended on August 25, when Kyle Rittenhouse borrowed an AR-15-style assault rifle from a friend and allegedly fatally shot Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony M. Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz. These three people had been demonstrating in Kenosha, Wisconsin, against the police shooting of Jacob Blake two days earlier. Trump suggested that Rittenhouse acted in self-defense. “He was trying to get away from them,” Trump said. “And he fell and then they very violently attacked him … He probably would have been killed” if he didn’t defend himself with lethal force.
The violence of Chauvin and Rittenhouse bookended the summer of Trumpism. The three long, hot months from May 25 to August 25 compressed 413 years of American history into a cellphone video in which anyone could easily see the history for what it has always been: the violent “self-defense” of white male supremacy. Colonialism, capitalism, slavery and slave trading, Indian removal, manifest destiny, colonization, the Ku Klux Klan, Chinese exclusion, disenfranchisement, Jim Crow, eugenics, massive resistance, “law and order,” Islamophobia, family separation — all were done in the name of defending life or civilization or freedom.</blockquote>
Following the verdict, Washington Post politics reporter Eugene Scott also quoted from the article: &#8220;Whenever white male supremacy shoots, assaults, violates, devastates, exploits — no matter what, there is the projection of innocence. Gun residue on his hands. Innocent. Blood on his hands. Innocent. Stolen life savings in his hands. Innocent.”

Last month, Kendi posted and later deleted a tweet that accidentally <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shot-himself-in-the-foot-ibram-x-kendi-posts-then-deletes-tweet-that-accidentally-refutes-crt">refuted</a> the entirety of his left-wing worldview.
Kendi shared an article from <a href="https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/education/577722-more-than-a-third-of-white-students-lie-about-their">The Hill</a> observing that many white students applying to college falsely claim that they belong to racial minority groups — specifically, “to improve their chances of getting accepted” or “get minority-focused financial aid.” Kendi commented: “More than a third of White students lied about their race on college applications, and about half of these applicants lied about being Native American. More than three-fourths of these students who lied about their race were accepted.”
Social media users noted that the article upended Kendi’s belief in a “systemic racism” that inherently disadvantages minority students. Kendi then <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kendi-doubles-down-blames-disinformation-operatives-over-deleted-college-admissions-tweet-that-debunks-crt">posted</a> another Twitter thread reaffirming his narrative.
“The anti-CRT crusade has spread this belief that White Americans are the victims of racism. As I posted last week, more than a third of White students lie about their race when applying for college, according to an online survey,” he wrote. “And there’s hardly any accountability — three-fourths of the White students lying on their applications about their race are receiving acceptance letters in return.”
Kendi also lambasted “disinformation operatives” for “distorting” the deleted tweet’s “implications.”

After Rittenhouse Acquittal, Ibram X. Kendi Says Trump Supporters Are ‘Fighting To Maintain White Male Supremacy’

Kyle Rittenhouse

Boston University professor and leading Critical Race Theory proponent Ibram X. Kendi doubled down on a recently deleted tweet that accidentally refuted his entire ideology.
As <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shot-himself-in-the-foot-ibram-x-kendi-posts-then-deletes-tweet-that-accidentally-refutes-crt">The Daily Wire</a> reported, Kendi shared an article on Friday from The Hill noting that white college applicants lie about their race to “get minority-focused financial aid” and improve their odds of acceptance. Indeed, studies <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-msnbcs-mitchell-says-she-doesnt-know-if-any-hank-berrien">reveal</a> that black and Hispanic students effectively receive college admissions boosts over white classmates worth 310 and 130 SAT points, respectively.
After social media users pointed out that the article upended Kendi’s belief in a “systemic racism” that inherently disadvantages minority students, he deleted the tweet. On Monday evening, however, Kendi posted another Twitter thread that reaffirmed his narrative.

Kendi then blamed “disinformation operatives” for “distorting&#8221; the deleted tweet&#8217;s &#8220;implications.”
“I posted these figures to show how many people may still hold this false belief that White people are disadvantaged,” he continued. “The angry reaction to my post (and deletion) evidenced this even more.”
Citing differing levels of wealth, legacy status, and access to advanced classes among college applicants, Kendi again stated: “These disinformation operatives are claiming I mistakenly demonstrated that structural racism doesn’t exist at the same time they used the figures I posted to claim that structural racism exists against White people.”
“What these disinformation operatives say is not supposed to make sense. It&#8217;s not supposed to be substantiated. It’s supposed to be believed. It’s supposed to inflame. They&#8217;ll distort anyone and anything to claim racism doesn’t exist (except of course against White people).”
After deleting his original post, however, Kendi had inflamed conservative rebuttals into tacit references to slavery.
When Human Events senior editor Jack Posobiec tweeted that he “broke Kendi&#8221; by writing an article discussing the gaping hole in his argument, Kendi responded: “White enslavers boasted of *breaking* Black people (when they did not *break* Black people). The resistance never stopped then and it won’t stop today.”

Jack couldn’t deny his lies so this is how he responded. And his “broke” reference has a long history within racist structures.

On a recent episode of her Daily Wire <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/candace">show</a>, Candace Owens debunked the “anti-racist” movement led by Kendi.
“What Marxists do is they constantly move goalposts,” she explained. “You can see that he’s moved the goalpost beyond just not being a racist. ‘Do as I say, or I’ll brand you as a racist — even though you’ve already confirmed to me that you’re not a racist.’”

“In short, he’s not calling for anti-racism,&#8221; Owens continued. &#8220;What he’s actually calling for is white guilt. He’s threatening white people. He’s saying to white people, ‘Do as I say, or else.’ That’s ridiculous.”

Kendi Doubles Down, Blames ‘Disinformation Operatives’ Over Deleted College Admissions Tweet That Debunks CRT

Boston University professor Ibram X. Kendi — a leading proponent of Critical Race Theory (CRT) — posted and later deleted a tweet that accidentally refuted the entire left-wing ideology.
On Friday evening, Kendi shared an article from <a href="https://thehill.com/changing-america/enrichment/education/577722-more-than-a-third-of-white-students-lie-about-their">The Hill</a> noting that many white students applying to college falsely claim that they belong to racial minority groups — specifically, “to improve their chances of getting accepted” or “get minority-focused financial aid.”

Many social media users quickly realized that a true “systemically oppressive” nation would not go out of its way to expedite and bankroll the education of “oppressed” racial groups — to the extent that students in the “oppressor” category would falsely identify as purported victims of the system in order to reap its benefits.
Kendi quietly deleted his tweet. “Cynical Theories” author James Lindsay, however, <a href="https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1454241389647126530">observed</a>: “Kendi admits it’s not actually a privilege to be White in America?”
“LOL Kendi shot himself in the foot today too,” he <a href="https://twitter.com/ConceptualJames/status/1454235431365758976">added</a>.
CRT — as summarized by Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro — <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ben-shapiro-masterfully-breaks-down-critical-race-theory-on-real-time-with-bill-maher">argues</a> that “racism is baked into all the systems of American society and that any sort of neutral system is in fact a guise for racial power.”
“And so what that boils down to in sort of practical terms is, all disparity equals discrimination,” Shapiro explained. “If you can see any stat where black people are underperforming white people, this means the system was set up for the benefit of white people and that white people have a duty to tear down these systems in order to alleviate the racism that’s implicit in those systems.”
In an interview with <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-ben-shapiro-masterfully-breaks-down-critical-race-theory-on-real-time-with-bill-maher">The Daily Wire</a>, Slow To Write blogger Samuel Sey explained that CRT opposes the core tenets of Western civilization — as well as the core tenets of the Christian faith.
“Critical race theorists label what the Bible calls good as evil, and they label what the Bible calls evil as good,” Sey noted. “Critical Race Theory essentially labels Christianity as racist. For instance, Critical Race Theory rejects the biblical concept of impartiality by labeling colorblindness as racist. Naturally, that encourages partiality or racism against white people.”
“Critical Race Theory also rejects the gospel’s proclamation that all people fall short of the glory of God. Instead, they believe white people are uniquely evil and non-white people are uniquely innocent,” he added.
Former Secretary of State and current Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice also <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/watch-condoleezza-rice-shreds-critical-race-theory-on-the-view">dismantled</a> the ideology in a recent interview with ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View.&#8221;
“One of the worries that I have about the way that we’re talking about race is that it either seems so big that somehow white people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened in the past. I don’t think that’s very productive,” Rice said. “Or black people have to feel disempowered by race. I would like black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they are beautiful in their blackness, but in order to do that, I don’t have to make white kids feel bad for being white. So somehow, this is a conversation that has gone in the wrong direction.”
