We are in a fight not of our choosing. Proponents of this woke ideology have chosen the fight. It has punched us in the face with lies woven into a narrative for fools and cowards that serves to advance the political power and financial interests of those vested in permanent racial animus. How this isn't obvious to people is beyond me.

We must be prepared with counter-arguments, but just as important, courageously articulate an aspirational vision based on Reverend King’s ideals. We must rehabilitate this vision, continue working to bring it to life, and celebrate successes along the way. People want to have hope. We need to give them hope.

I believe continuing down the rationale path of disproving the woke stance of them being the "only ones who care about change" is the smart play. Long term strategic approaches to solving the problems impacting the races attempting to be "helped" by CRT teachings would be my preference. The argument against CRT is never going to win the emotional battle of opinions and will never stop the woke of their argument they are "doing the right thing". Similar to tough parental decisions to be strict with your kids because you care about their long term success, we must make clear the ideas against CRT-focused curriculum isn't because "we don't care about those groups". It is because we DO care and hope to not continue this empty debate for decades. I believe if the approach can be anchored in the same way we would argue that we wouldn't allow our children to get away with blaming external forces for their struggles in life, we should make clear that we care so much about the historical lack of success for certain races in America that we would like to give them a more substantial strategy to long term success.
