The Radical CRT Guru Endorsed By Biden’s Education Department

According to her own words, Bettina Love wants nothing less than to “abolish” America as we know it, and to indoctrinate our children with the radical agenda of the Marxist political left. These are the ideas that the Biden administration apparently wants taught to students across the country.

As Fox News recently reported, the Biden Department of Education included a “guide” published by Love’s “Abolitionisting Teach Network” (ATN) in the federal government’s school reopening manual, which instructs school districts across the country how to use new federal funding under Biden’s “American Rescue Plan.”

As the Department of Education document makes clear, that funding is not merely to be spent buying school districts extra gallons of hand sanitizer. The Biden administration intends to use the money to infect our young people with extreme left-wing CRT ideology that undermines the very foundations of our country.

Thanks to the amazing work of Stanley Kurtz, Americans are getting a deeper look at the ideas being pushed by the Biden administration’s hitherto unknown CRT guru, Battina Love.

As Kurtz describes, the Biden-endorsed booklet published by Love’s organization is called a “Guide for Racial Justice & Abolitionist Social and Emotional Learning.”

Among the things the guide asks teachers to do? “[D]isrupt Whiteness and other forms of oppression.” The administration now claims this was an “error”, and that it does not support the aims of ATN. But was it?

As Kurtz points out, Bettina Love is all the rage among “progressive” educators, despite the fact that she is not as famous as better-known CRT prophets such as Ibram X. Kendi and Robin DiAngelo. Love’s 2019 book, We Want to Do More Than Survive, provides an illuminating look into her idea of what constitutes “Whiteness.”

As Love describes in her book, her family wasn’t religious, but she attended a Catholic school as a child where she was taught by nuns who adhered to the American ideal of colorblindness—a concept that Love now claims is “anti-black.” Her transformation into an extremist started when she began attending an after-school program run by a leftist college student who decried the thinking of figures like Martin Luther King, Jr., Rosa Parks, etc. in favor of the more radical thought of Angela Davis, Malcolm X, and the Black Panthers. This is when, in Love’s own self-description, she went from merely “surviving” to “thriving,” per the title of her book.

Love considers much of modern education, including standardized testing, as part of the “educational survival complex.” She argues that it must be totally dismantled and replaced by an “antiracist” alternative that roots out “systemic oppression” and helps transform society. Included in that vision are goals such as the destruction of capitalism and what Love calls “Whiteness.”

As Kurtz highlights, Love believes that “Whiteness” has made the United States a “spirit murderer” of minority children, and she appeals to a tradition of radical politics which she claims is totally separate from the Founding Fathers, the Declaration of Independence, and the Constitution. Abolishing “Whiteness” means, in her words, overturning the “Eurocentric, elitist, patriarchal and dehumanizing structures of racial capitalism and its liberal underpinnings.”

In its place, Love would educate students in what she claims is a form of civics. But it’s not the kind of civics that teaches young people to pay taxes, vote, volunteer, “and have good character.” She considers these concepts nothing but code for “comply, comply, comply.”

Instead, Love argues that the destiny of “dark folx” depends on how much they “disobey and fight for justice.” This leads her into the advocacy of so-called “action civics”—a form of political indoctrination that does nothing to teach the next generation about our constitutional system, but instead subsidizes opportunities for students to engage in leftist demonstrations, protests, and activism. This sort of civics, according to Love, will help dismantle racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, classism, “mass incarceration,” and immigration enforcement. Thus, the core of “education” for Love is totally transforming the United States of America.

“Abolitionist teaching,” she says, “is…a way of life, a way of seeing the world, and a way of taking action against injustice.”

Just like the other leading CRT figures who praise her work, Love refuses to engage in genuine debate about her ideas. If anyone opposes her agenda, they are working on behalf of “Whiteness,” Love says, which she claims, “is addicted to centering itself, addicted to attention, and making everyone feel guilty for working toward its elimination.”

In other words, she pathologizes those who disagree with her, and dismisses them out of hand as racists. No matter how incoherent her arguments may be, however, they are being endorsed and deployed by the Biden administration, left-wing activists in various states, and Democrats pushing multiple federal bills in Congress designed to nationalize civics education.

The Biden administration can claim that supporting Love’s booklet was an “error” all it wants. But it is clear the only “error” was getting caught. Biden’s attempt to impose a national civics curriculum infused with CRT is directly inspired by the work and ideas of Battina Love and other proponents of this dangerous Marxism. Parents, grandparents, teachers, administrators: beware.

So I am to assume this Bettina Love (lace) ” self radicalized herself ” & is now attempting to convert any & all she can get her slimy fingers on…Just a matter of time, she’ll get done in by her own kind & she will be found d**d in a dark alleyway somewhere & then completely forgotten about… Hell, I’ve forgotten about her already!

Bettina Love is a great choice for Jackass Joe, she is a first-class Black racist who embraces empty ideologies and sells her anti-white propaganda to like-minded fools.
Whiteness is a form of oppression according to this mental mutant. Bettina just loves using the modern convinces available; the telephone, satellite communications, television, computers, all invented by “White men”.
Stop using them, Bettina, to show that you live your delusional anti-white racist ideas.

As bad as Obama was, as anti-American as Obama is, Biden is worse. Some attribute it to senility, to dementia, and think he is being controlled by others. While Soros and some hard leftists in his administration may exert some limited control, Biden is purely corrupt at heart and always has been. Those who thought he was some kind of moderate Democrat never bothered to look at his voting record. As far as CRT goes, it has but only one purpose: to sow hatred and distrust in our society to divide and destroy it. It is pure evil intended to drive a far bigger wedge between the races than ever before, and it is being aided by BLM and Antifa guided by radical leftists. If someone cannot get this under control, we may suffer the next civil war and it will be as bloody as the first one. This war will be a guerilla conflict fought in our city streets and depending on who controls the Whitehouse and Congress at the time it erupts may well determine which side the government and our military takes. Today I know which side that would be, and it is not good. I pray a peaceful end to this is found but it does not look promising.

“Surviving” to “thriving”, while treading in water too deep while “diving”; this is the ‘so-called’ surviving she propounds that not very long does one on atheistic Darwin/Marxist tread, before they are in essence dead!

Capitalism and the Protestant work ethic,
Or atheism’s relative, immoral pathetic!

A deceived mind would love a dictatorship,
HISTORICAL PROPAGANDA – judge actions not the lip.

”We’ll rewrite history and the truth!”
”America, is evil!” Indoctrinate the youth.

Oppression and death, rewriting is and is not funny
Vicious totalitarianism – yet, they somehow make sunny?

Parents put down social media, start reading the facts,
Before a neo-Stalin, lying on your backs.

Funny how from Socialism, they run to the United States,
Yet, liberties bastion the social media hates!

None say, “Should we go vacation to scuba?”
And, “Yes, let’s quick, hurry to, Cuba!”

Tis non-existent even then!
Who moved job, home and family to Cuba, when?

For centuries they’ve been coming to America, in groves,
This is what non- CRT, true history shows!

“Let’s honeymoon in, RUSSIA”, would raise a brides dander,
Unless you’re the radical, Bernie Sanders.

Atheistic Darwinism or the Biblical God, always in view,
The foundational battle – is only two!

This war has long been in our schools! ! ,
The Bible/Ten Commandments or secular humanism rules!

I know this is wishful thinking: ALL STATES NEED TO REJECT ALL FEDERAL EDUCATIONAL AID FOR THE TIME BEING, STATES’ TEACHING CURRICULUMS NEED TO REFLECT ALL HONESTY OF THIS NATION’S PAST WITHOUT BIAS.

Everyone needs to attend their local school board meetings and determine who on the board is supporting this garbage and then vote them out! Also meet with the principal and if possible superintendent and explain you DO NOT WANT this taught in your schools.

It is a sad commentary where our government has, not only allowed but led this country’s schools to indoctrinate our children with communist and marxist philosophy and belief, posturing them and their children for a diminishing representative republic to the point of demise…totally not recognizable to what our Founding Fathers had in mind for us.

We as Christians, must look at where we are with our current federal government, in particular the current President and his administration, and remember what happened in Germany in 1930. Germany was the “frog that got boiled in the pot”. By the time they woke up, it was too late. It is time for our pastors, teachers, and all that legally vote, to rise up and take a stand.

The schemes of the satanic led left are so subtle that we are like the frog in a pan of cold water on top of the fire and when it boils it is too late for the frog or “us” to jump out. Not only are they having an effect on our younger generation but the Christian community has compromised and apostasy is occurring rapidly.

Is there anyone in Congress that will purpose Impeaching Biden for not abiding by the oath of office he took to Protect our nation from unlawful invasion. He is allowing criminals from foreign nations, drug cartels, sex traffickers and COVID positive invaders to walk into our country. He is destroying our country in broad daylight. These people are dropped off in towns that have no idea they are coming. That should be enough to impeach him and his VP who is allowing this also.

Everything about racism should be kept OUT OF THE SCHOOLS. Kids get along regardless of color if the adults would leave it alone. If CRT crap is going to be in schools, my grandkids are going to be home schooled. Already enrolled one in a Christian school for this year.

The country’s National Public Education System has no real competition and therein lies the problem. We continually pump more and more of tax payers money into this failed system and receiving dismal results, especially in Democrat run large cities. We cut cut the current Public Education System in half and set up Public School Vouchers, add Charter Schools and subsidize Religious & Parochial Schools with the other half of the current budget. We’d get exactly the same results in the public schools but parents could offer their kids a real education in these alternative schools.

As long as the American people continue to refuse to stand up and fight to protect their rights and freedoms from those that openly seek to strip them all away, this type of activity will continue until no rights and freedoms for the average person remains. The choice is in the hands of the American citizens as to what kind of country they will ultimately live in. Doing nothing or waiting around for someone else to “save you from yourselves” will only lead to a country where God given personal rights and freedoms is a distant memory.
