Libby Emmons, senior editor for The Post Millennial, appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox News show on Friday evening to discuss racism within the New York City school system. This comes amid a push a for anti-racism rhetoric following the death of George Floyd.

Emmons discussed the topic of racism in school, telling Carlson:

"I am worried. I have been worried for some time. It was rather interesting, after George Floyd's death, my son's school, at the suggestion of the school's chancellor, Richard Carranza, started doing anti-racism lessons, and talking about the protests and the riots..."

"What was really interesting to me is that, with lessons in anti-racism, they were teaching bias where perhaps none had existed before."

Emmons continued: "They were teaching my son and the students in his class, which are primarily first and second generation immigrant students that we are not equal, that, in fact, white students have inherited a legacy of racism from their grandparents and parents. That their grandparents and parents may not even be aware that they have inherited this legacy."

She went on to say that students are made to feel that there is nothing they can do about this kind of inherent racism.

Carlson responded by saying that it reduces people to the characteristics that they were born with and cannot control, and are then the victims of attacks based on those immutable qualities.

Emmons published an opinion piece in the middle of last month, drawing out what she had learned about the school system that her fourth-grade son has been entrenched in, writing: "Other than a few packets during Black History Month, fourth graders have not yet learned about the Civil Rights movement or the enslavement of Africans and their descendants in bondage"

"But they are now learning that the United States is founded on racism, that racism is the pervasive undercurrent in American governance, law enforcement, social interaction, employment, literature, arts, entertainment, real estate, and education."

What this entails is that students in schools that teach this sort of ideology are receiving an interpretation of history before they are actually taught the substance of that history. Students are not being encouraged how to think about issues, but what to think about them.

The children are not the only ones who experience the consequences of what is being taught in schools. The parents of those children, Emmons explains, have a responsibility to find out what is being taught in their child's classroom and to take action against it.

Emmons said in a recent article: "It may seem hard to reconcile the need for schools to open with the realization many parents have had this past term that critical race theory and revisionist history have thoroughly infiltrated classrooms at pretty much every grade level. Parents who are able can chuck it all in, switch schools if they can find one that hasn’t been infected by this propagandist, racist rhetoric, others can homeschool."

Parents deciding to move their children out of the way of these dogmatic talking points is not a permanent solution to the issue. Emmons added that "while families find workarounds for their own children, that doesn't really solve the problem. We need a robust educational system. Wholesale abandonment of the public school system will result in generations of kids who are subjected to every progressive educational ideology that comes down the pike. That isn't what we want for America's children."

Those who are responsible for the education of students have an agenda, which was revealed in the release of a recent video of a New York City Two Community Education Council (CEC) meeting that took place on June 29. The video showed the dark reality of the New York education system, with "accusations of racism, forced apologies, and secret investigations..."

This comes amid the nation-wide discussion of Robin DiAngelo's 2018 book, "White Fragility." The book describes that white people, though they are not aware of it, are inherently racist, and that there is nothing that a white person can do about this.

Though these ideas have been widespread in colleges and universities across the country for some time, they have finally penetrated elementary schools.
