SUPERBLY SAID – AT 10:15 P.M.  ET:   Do you know Carol Swain?  She's a brave, African-American, former professor at Princeton and Vanderbilt Universities, and a conservative.  I was struck by her statement on the American condition, which sums up so much of what we see, and so much of what is reducing us as a nation.  Please note this, from bizpacreview:   

“The greatest threat to American society today… is coming from the diversity, equity, inclusion industry,” warns retired Princeton University and Vanderbilt University Professor and author Carol Swain. “It is steeped in critical race theory which is Marxist. It divides people,” the professor added in an appearance on The Ingraham Angle.

“When you think about what is taking place on college campuses and also now in K-12, children are being bullied, they’re being shamed. Teachers are being encouraged to teach nonsense, and they may justify it by saying it is fighting racism, it’s helping racial and ethnic minorities; it’s really harming everyone’s child,” she insisted about the radical agenda that has rapidly gained currency across the country in schools, government, and in corporate America.

Prof. Swain was on the Fox News Channel show as a follow-up to Ingraham’s opening monologue in which the host, among other things, lamented that Joe Biden said that he plans to root out systemic or institutional racism. Ingraham opined that this is a mere ploy by cynical liberals apparently like Biden, who know better, but are nonetheless seizing upon that mantra to help them stay in political power.

According to Swain, white liberal academics are using their platform to indoctrinate students into becoming advocates for critical race theory and similar initiatives. “So systemic racism is not the problem in America. Racism is a problem, but it’s coming from the political left, and it’s been turned upside down,” she declared.

COMMENT:  Such a crystal-clear description of where we are.  We must ask ourselves where our children, especially minority children, will be in 20 years if the current educational craze continues.  They will be nowhere.  They are being taught to hate, to divide, and to disparage the very society that gives them their rights and their freedom.  They are not being taught how to participate usefully in that society.  And the minority child is surely not being taught how to survive and prosper.

Read Carol Swain.  She has her finger on the pulse.
