Bion Bartning's new Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism (FAIR) just started in 2020, but it's grown to almost 40,000 followers who wish to stand for pro-human fairness and against the teaching of critical race theory in schools.
Why do they object to the philosophy of CRT? It's this:
"Instead of teaching our children that they are unique individuals united by our shared humanity, it insists that they identify as members of racialized identity groups locked in a zero sum battle for power."
They wish to stand for gratitude instead of grievance . . to inspire optimism instead of learned helplessness . . to encourage forgiveness instead of the poison of resentment.
Bartning is part of the movement of parents who feel a need to push back against the CRT direction being pushed in schools. He describes what alarmed him at his own kids' school in an article published in Wall Street Journal last year.
