UC Berkeley supports #shutdownSTEM and Black Lives Matter
Berkeley was one of the last higher learning hold outs to not adopt a full Critical Race Theory policy. That has changed. Don't know what CRT is? When you hear the word "equity" by government, that's a part of CRT.
I know what you're thinking. Look chicken little telling everyone the sky is falling. I'm stating it's mainstream. If you work at a medium sized business to corporate sized job? You've had CRT training. You're in the military, you've had CRT training. You're kids at college, they've been drowned in it. You're kids in K-12, they're just starting to get it. Art, Music, Shakespeare, Science, Math, these are all dominated by whites and therefore racist in origin and concept.
Now the focus is that science, math and specifically STEM (Link to what is STEM) are inherently racist and should be removed. This discussion with Bert Weinstein, an evolutionary biologist who was cancelled and labeled racist by students at Evergreen College discusses why cancelling STEM is a bad idea. His argument is the way to uplift any social minority groups is shown to be with education and knowledge, yet the direct opposite is being done.
Shutting down STEM is basically science denial. My opinion is that if such a movement is left unchallenged, CRT will (as I believe it's purpose is to) destroy the current culture in a revolution similar to one's we've seen through history in Russia and China. That cultural revolution is necessary step for a new political system to develop and take power. <see Russia 1928-1932, see China 1966-1976>. Isn't that the point though? It's not really about racial issues, CRT as a cultural revolution is a red herring to bring about a new political order. The illogical and absurdism that math and STEM are racists because sociologically white people created them isn't the end game, it's the removal of a capitalist system in favor of a different one.
