About ten days ago President Trump signed an executive order ceasing government organizations from teaching critical race theory.
If you are not familiar with CRT here’s a great explanation from author Ibram X. Kendi, notice at the end he says, “A ‘not racist’ is a racist who is in denial.” Kendi then explains that an “antiracist is someone who is willing to admit the times in which they’re being racist.” CRT requires an antiracist to consistently confess they are racist through struggle sessions and other almost religious type rituals.
Today, it’s not enough to simply be “not racist”; here’s why we should all strive to be anti-racist instead.

Critical Race Theory speaker Rosa Clemente lamented President Trump’s executive order about CRT. Clemente was confirmed the Green Party of the United States Cynthia McKinney’s running mate in 2008.
I worked with for months at this agency did not even know until the “head of the agency” had called me and then told them. To their credit they called me after she did to let me know what occurred and how sorry and disappointed they were. pic.twitter.com/ByaAIJQQqa

Of course I am not the only one that this is happening too but I share so folks know that this is really happening and for gig economy workers like me a cancellation especially when you have put in hours into a presentation and turned down other opportunities is a blow.

But I have been doing this for a long time and have a bomb ass lawyer. They will defiantly be receiving a bill for my time.

It’s good to see that the President’s executive order is working.
