Choice privilege : what's race got to do with it? / by Tate, Melissa.;
Includes bibliographical references."My destiny has never been pre-determined by my skin color, more than anything else, it is being shaped by the choices I make daily, good and bad." This book follows author Melissa Tate's early life growing up in Africa and eventual migration to the United States. Tate contends that, in America, it is a person's good choices, not their skin color, that determines the upward trajectory of his or her life. After migrating to the United States at age nineteen for college, her experience in America has been a living contradiction to the false "white privilege" narrative. In spite of being "black in America," Tate has been able to achieve great success to which she credits to hard work, determination, good choices, and her faith in God. Her story, like many African immigrants, is at odds with propaganda peddled by the left. She lives a life of privilege as the fruit of hard work, doing things in the right order and prioritizing life in a way that places God first, then family, then her career. Tate discusses the cultural parallels between African culture vs neo-Black American culture as a means to explain the economic disparities seen between African immigrants (who tend to thrive in America) and Black Americans. The larger neo-Marxist agenda behind critical race theory ideology, as a plot to racially divide and conquer the America from within, is discussed extensively in this book. Tate exposes this dangerous and divisive ideology as a "false religion" that is antithetical to biblical principles and an assault on the teachings of Martin Luther King, Jr. Tate offers solutions on how America can overcome this agenda, heal the racial divide, and fulfill its God-given destiny as the beacon of light, freedom, and prosperity in the world."-- page 4 of cover.

School of woke : how critical race theory infiltrated American schools and why we must reclaim them / by Xu, Kenny,author.(CARDINAL)863825;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 207-226) and index."Kenny Xu takes readers through a far-reaching, on-the-ground investigation of how Critical Race Theory infiltrated our public schools and transformed them into activism factories-with disastrous results. Awareness of the rise of Critical Race Theory (CRT) in public schools and how it has shaped our education system took the U.S. by storm over the last couple of years. When the COVID-19 pandemic sent children home to continue their education online, parents truly became aware for the first time how deeplyentrenched CRT was in the classrooms, and their eyes were opened to the insidious agenda thoroughly embedded in public schools. As a result, CRT and parental rights in education became some of the most explosive issues facing Americans today. In School of Woke, Kenny Xu provides historical context to the rise of Critical Race Theory in education, tracing it back to elite graduate schools in the 1970s and showing how the ideology became institutionalized and credentialed. Xu covers the battles taking place in the most problematic and contested school districts in the nation, including Loudoun and Fairfax County Public Schools in Northern Virginia and Santa Barbara High School in California. He also explores the lucrative business model behind the diversity consulting industrial complex that is instrumental in the curricular wars. He shows how educators and administrators have been gaslighting the public about the prevalence of this radical ideology in the classrooms, where children as young as five are being segregated in the classroom by race and are being taught that whiteness is inherently evil. Xu, the author of An Inconvenient Minority: The Attack on Asian American Excellence and the Fight for American Meritocracy, is one of the most perceptive and relentless critics of CRT and our culture's war on meritocracy. And now in School of Woke, Xu exposes how CRT is transforming public schools and having a destructive impact on our children's education-and their future. A work of colorful reportage, historical analysis, and cultural commentary, School of Woke reveals what it will take to extricate our next generation from the destructive trends in our once-vaunted public school education system"--

Eraced : uncovering the lies of critical race theory and abortion / by Amanchukwu, John K.,1984-author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Keep Your Eye on the Ball -- Nothing New Under the Sun -- Murder, She Wrote -- The Role of the Black Minister -- The Role of the White Minister -- Stockholm Syndrome -- What about the Children? -- Watch, Pray, Vote."Tucked in the Old Testament book of Isaiah is a warning meant for ancient Judah, but it might as well have been written for twenty-first century America: "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness" (Isaiah 5:20). Abortion and critical race theory are twin evils born of the same diabolical monster: racism. And yet, there are many in the church who want to call them good, even as America begins to unravel under their influence. In Eraced, John Amanchukwu Sr. dispels the myths surrounding abortion and critical race theory, and uncovers the Left's sinister plot to destroy the Black community and divide the church. Along the way, he brings to light important gospel truths to help all believers learn to think biblically about some of the most important and explosive issues of our day"--

Woke racism : how a new religion has betrayed Black America / by McWhorter, John H.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 191-192) and index.What kind of people? -- The new religion -- What attracts people to this religion? -- What's wrong with it being a religion? It hurts Black people -- Beyond "dismantling structures" : saving Black America for real -- How do we work around them?"Americans of good will on both the left and the right are secretly asking themselves the same question: how has the conversation on race in America gone so crazy? We're told to read books and listen to music by people of color but that wearing certain clothes is 'appropriation.' We hear that being white automatically gives you privilege and that being Black makes you a victim. We want to speak up but fear we'll be seen as unwoke, or worse, labeled a racist. According to John McWhorter, the problem is that a well-meaning but pernicious form of antiracism has become, not a progressive ideology, but a religion-and one that's illogical, unreachable, and unintentionally neoracist. In Woke Racism, McWhorter reveals the workings of this new religion, from the original sin of 'white privilege' and the weaponization of cancel culture to ban heretics, to the evangelical fervor of the 'woke mob.' He shows how this religion that claims to 'dismantle racist structures' is actually harming his fellow Black Americans by infantilizing Black people, setting Black students up for failure, and passing policies that disproportionately damage Black communities. The new religion might be called 'antiracism,' but it features a racial essentialism that's barely distinguishable from racist arguments of the past."--

Being Black in America's schools : a student-educator-reformers call for change / by Fuller, Brian Rashad,author.(CARDINAL)897264; Tubman, Abdul P.,writer of foreword.;
"In a polarizing and racially divided America, what do children of color learn about themselves before they even go to school? How do they see themselves and is that image only exacerbated by spending twelve years in a public education system that perpetuates negative stereotypes? Brian Rashad Fuller personally knows that the impact of low expectations can be devastating, as proved by the "school to prison" pipeline that so many students have experienced. He aims to make a difference in this humanizing and very personal portrayal of what it means to be Black in America's schools. As a Black man who has spent his life as a student and an educator, Brian shares his own story of navigating the world, overcoming his family struggles, and eventually entering an educational system that he believes is inherently racist, damaging, and disserving. He exposes the challenges Black students face in elite and predominantly white universities and spaces, dissects "Black exceptionalism" in the schooling experience, and offers a firsthand account of the emotional and psychological impact made by teachers, administrators, policies, practices, lessons, and student interactions. Most Americans are looking for answers on how to improve our education system - as illustrated by the critical race theory debate - but have not fully understood the lived Black experience, until now. With powerful insight into a thoroughly American institution, Brian offers present-day solutions, and liberating hope, for a centuries-long issue, as well as a galvanizing and radical step forward. It is a book essential to our challenging times."--
