Critical Race Theory in Civil and Political Leadership Education

Race still lingers as a major issue in American politics in ways that seem hard to understand. We are constantly being referred to as a nation founded on white supremacy. Terms like white privilege and whiteness are still gaining traction, as the belief that being white alone is enough to make you racist continues to … Read more

Robust Skepticism: Understanding Propaganda and Persuasion

It has been a couple of weeks since I have written anything. I needed some time to sit back and reflect on what impact, if any, my writing was having on readers. Writing is just like anything else. People want to feel as if there is a payoff in their efforts. My writing has generally … Read more

Feminism: A Self-Destructive Movement that Needs to go Away

  If there is one thing I despise above all else, it is the feminist movement. No, it isn’t because I am a male chauvinist pig who thinks women exist to please men, and the women’s liberation movement gave them too much power. (Well, I might be a little chauvinist.) Feminism destroyed the nuclear family, … Read more

Critical Theory, Critical Legal Studies, and Postmodernism: The Roots of CRT.

Writing about Critical Race Theory has become an obsession of mine. I am trying to find the words and writings of those that have had the most influence on its development to show readers that it is much more than a lesson aimed at elementary school children. For example, in my book A Critical Look … Read more

Psychology in Public School: From John Dewey to Brock Chisholm

It is hard to describe what I am feeling. I watch the news, and the created perception that somehow Biden is going to be held accountable for having classified documents in his possession, and all I can think is that we are somehow being mocked. Our media masters, after all, have admitted to us in … Read more

Operant Conditioning and the Purpose of Public Schooling

  This year started with a bang. The nation was treated to yet another circus sideshow which was portrayed as a vote for the new house speaker. The joke was truly on us as twenty republicans were shown holding out in a fight against McCarthy becoming speaker, only in the end, to see him win … Read more

Understanding CRT Research: Creating a Nuanced Perception of Racism in America

Nothing will drive a person crazy on a Sunday morning like reading up on some good old Critical Race Theory research. I find it both fascinating and disturbing at the same time. Fascinating in the sense that the theory itself has become so adept at turning everything into an issue of structural racism, and troubling … Read more

Understanding the Tenets Driving Critical Race Research in Medicine

    Last week, Fox News ran a story about Critical Race Theory being a part of the curriculum in several of the nation’s top medical schools. This is not surprising, as CRT itself is a theoretical research model used to examine the so-called – structural systems of discrimination – which oppress minorities in America. … Read more

A CRT of State: A New Area of Critical Race Research

Here I sit once again, a typical Sunday morning where I spend a great deal of time reading and writing. While I generally have no problem coming up with topics that interest me, conveying the message to readers in a way they would find not only interesting but helpful, is the challenge. I am often … Read more

Queer Theory and the Deconstruction of Identity: Understanding Critical Theory Research

    On any given day, a scroll through social media produces videos of parents challenging local school boards over sexually explicit material children are exposed to in public schools. In the past week alone, I have seen several, and one even made headlines. An Iowa mother showed up at the school board meeting dressed … Read more
