Anti-American sentiment in critical race theory teachings is dangerously divisive and will just serve our enemies across the globe, particularly communist China, according to former Trump Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
“I’m worried about some of the things that are being taught in our schools,” Pompeo told Sunday’s “The Cat Roundtable” on WABC 770 AM-N.Y. “If we teach that the founding of the United States of America was somehow flawed. It was corrupt. It was racist. That’s really dangerous. It strikes at the very foundations of our country. I certainly worry about that.
“It’s called critical race theory, the 1619 Project. But in the end, they’re attacking the central understandings that we have shared together for 245 years. It’s an attempt to divide the country. If that continues. If that is allowed to flourish and prosper, then we could lose this thing that is so special. We can’t let that happen.”
Critical race theory is defined by the Encyclopedia Britannica as the concept in which race is a socially constructed category ingrained in American law intended to maintain social, economic, and political inequalities between whites and nonwhites. It holds that the U.S. society is inherently or systemically racist.
“If we lose faith in our constitutional principles,” Pompeo added to host John Catsimatidis, “some adversary, like the Chinese Communist Party will come and undermine what has made our country so special.”
