    2024/10/30

    Dr. George Muir joins Dr. Haney to discuss the controversial topic of critical race theory (CRT) and its implications in the education system. Muir, a retired Air Force master sergeant and award-winning broadcast journalist, shares his insights from his recently published book, "Critical Race Theory in Your School: How to Fight Back." He emphasizes the importance of parents being vigilant about what their children are being taught in schools, as CRT has been subtly integrated into various subjects under different names. Throughout the conversation, Muir highlights the challenges he faced in researching CRT and the pushback he received for his views, urging parents to advocate for their children's education and maintain their rights as primary educators. The discussion ultimately underscores the need for awareness and action among parents to protect their children's upbringing in an increasingly complex educational landscape.

    In this conversation, Rev. Dr. Keith Haney and Dr. George S. Maurer discuss critical race theory (CRT) and its impact on society. They share personal experiences and insights into the topic, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of CRT beyond media portrayals. Dr. Maurer explains that CRT is a Marxist ideology that uses negative racial input to claim positive racial outcomes. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing the brainwashing techniques used in CRT and the need to stand against it. The conversation also touches on the challenges of addressing CRT in education and provides guidance for parents in identifying and addressing its presence in schools. Dr. George S. Maurer discusses how critical race theory (CRT) is being taught in schools and provides guidance on how parents can fight back. He advises parents to review their child's homework and course descriptions for signs of CRT, such as words like oppression, marginalization, systemic racism, and white supremacy. If CRT is found, parents should voice their opposition to teachers, school administrators, and school boards. Dr. Maurer also suggests getting involved with other like-minded parents and grassroots organizations. He emphasizes the importance of speaking at school board meetings and preparing a well-rehearsed speech to effectively communicate concerns. Additionally, he encourages parents to educate themselves on CRT by reading his book and staying informed through his Facebook page.


    Dr. George Muir, an experienced broadcast journalist and retired Air Force master sergeant, joins Dr. Haney for a compelling discussion centered on critical race theory (CRT) and its implications in today's educational landscape. Muir, who has spent over 35 years in journalism, recounts his personal journey into the controversial topic that has polarized communities across the United States. He shares how his explorations into CRT were sparked by the misunderstandings surrounding it, particularly after he published a book addressing the subject. Muir emphasizes the need for parents to remain vigilant about what their children are learning in schools, as CRT often lurks beneath the surface of seemingly benign educational content. He encourages open dialogue among parents and educators and advocates for a grassroots approach to challenging the infiltration of CRT in classrooms.


    As they delve deeper, Muir articulates the fundamental principles of CRT, describing it as a Marxist ideology that pits races against one another rather than fostering understanding and unity. He passionately argues that the narrative surrounding CRT often misrepresents its goals, framing it as a tool that exacerbates racial tensions rather than alleviating them. Muir's insights are bolstered by his experiences with former military colleagues and the challenges he faced when discussing CRT with peers, showcasing the societal pushback he encountered. The episode is rich with anecdotes, including Muir's encounters with educators who...
