 it appears that we're fully immersed into a world of 'catch 22' and i see no escape route as of now. crt is now being enforced by courts in florida;


The Irony of All Ironies

Paul Craig Roberts

The state of Florida recently enacted legislation against teaching “critical race theory” in Florida public schools and universities.  Critical race theory amounts to indoctrinating white kids into the belief that they are racist, because being a racist is what it means to be white.  The white population in Florida who foot the tax bill for public education don’t like paying for brainwashing their kids with the belief that the kids and their parents are racists.

A couple of leftwing freaks, Adriana Novoa, a professor at the University of South Florida, and a student, Sam Rechek, sued the state of Florida in federal court claiming that the law is government censorship. US federal district judge Mark Walker, a highly partisan Democrat and Obama appointee, has blocked enforcement of the law.

In ordering an injunction blocking enforcement of the law, Judge Walker said that the law struck “at the heart of open-mindedness and critical inquiry.”  He accused the government of Florida  of “taking over the marketplace of ideas to suppress disfavored viewpoints,” thereby limiting what professors could teach.

Think for a moment about the utter absurdity of what this highly partisan Democrat “judge” has said.  Do universities have speech codes?  Yes.  Do these speech codes “suppress disfavored viewpoints,” thereby limiting what professors can teach and students can say?  Yes.  Are these speech codes that “strike at the heart of open-mindedness and critical inquiry” enforced by the universities?  Yes. Are the speech codes discriminatory in their application?  Yes.  Whose speech is limited?  Whites.  What speech is limited?  Truthful statements that “aversive racism”–the doctrine that whites are racist regardless of intention–is false, and that gender is biologically determined and not self-selected.  ........more........
