A cartoon pictured a school classroom with elementary age students and a teacher writing at the chalkboard. One student comments, “I thought we were studying division today!” As the teacher finishes writing Critical Race Theory on the board, she responds, “We are.” The divisiveness of CRT is being slammed into our culture, especially in the education system. It is purported to be one of the “unifying factors” needed in America. Yet, all it is actually accomplishing is division and the separating of our citizens from one another. Our Pledge to the American Flag includes the word “indivisible.” Are we? We are only if we intend to be. Webster’s Dictionary defines “intend” as, “…to have in mind as a purpose or goal: PLAN…to direct the mind on. The English word is derived from the Latin, intendere, meaning to “stretch out, aim at.” The picture of a bow and arrow come to mind. The bow and string (liberty, freedom, unity) are not stretched for the purpose of snapping or breaking, but for the purpose of sending the arrow (constitution) toward the actual target, indivisibility, in this case.
CRT seeks to destroy the unity of this great nation, and the proof is in what it has accomplished so far. It has only caused destruction of the “one nation.” It has only caused destruction of the “one race”, the human race as God sets out in His Holy Bible. The Bible shows us multiple ethnicities, but one race. It shows us multiple cultures, but one human race. It defines a multitude of sins (individual, cultural, national, global), but one Redeemer for all. That Redeemer is God Himself through His Son Jesus Christ. His sacrifice cuts across all the “multiples” to bring salvation to all who believe.
CRT seeks to break that unity apart. It promotes the evolutionary theory which only separates and raises the fittest, the meanest, the power grabbers. If one “race” (ethnicity, culture, etc.) can gain enough strength, then it earns the “right” to control and subdue all others as it pleases.
“For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.” Galatians 5:13.
If we Christian Americans are to be living our intentions for the redemption and unity of our nation, then we must stand for them, and push forward for them by getting involved in the workings and forth-telling of the truth given to us by our God. In a recent article we heard that the “White House indicates support for Critical Race Theory in K-12 schools.”[1] In another article we find that a “School Board Approves Termination…”[2] of a teacher intending to brainwash his students in CRT rather than teach truth or even alternate views of an issue or theory. Reading these articles will shed much light.
The need is now to provide our congregation with the information needed to both, contact our politicians to oppose when needed, and to attend School Board meetings and others to support when the right and good is being decided. Pastors, feed, defend, and inform your flock so that each can become salt and light in this depraved world. Mathew 5:13-16.
