Ben Carson Rips Critical Race Theory As Robbing Kids of ‘Same Hope Instilled in Me’

Those who sew racial division as a political tool are simply honoring a proud, longstanding Democratic tradition. The villains and heroes change but the aim of the narrative remains the same-to keep us at each others throats so no one sees what they are truly up to.

Former Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson blasted critical race theory in an op-ed at Fox News on Monday, saying that the controversial curriculum cannot be allowed “to rob American children of that same hope that was instilled in me” as he grew up poor and black in Detroit. Carlson, who served all four years of former President Donald Trump’s term as HUD chief, wrote that CRT is “the vanguard of a radical, revolutionary movement that seeks to overthrow the established order in every area of society, including capitalism itself.” In addition, the famed neurosurgeon warned that “this divisive ideology seeks to replace the traditional American value of equality of opportunity with a regime that assumes all White people are racist oppressors and labels all racial minorities as victims.” He went on to note that “while the classical Marxism from which CRT was born focuses on class conflict, CRT substitutes class for race, wholly ignoring the demonstrated failure of Marxist ideologies  –  unlike the people of Cuba who are protesting against Marxist failures at this very moment.”
