About The Book
In schools and workplaces across the US, Americans are being indoctrinated with a divisive, anti-American ideology: Critical Race Theory (CRT). Based in cultural Marxism, CRT bullies and demonizes whites while infantilizing and denying agency to blacks, creating a deep racial rift. As Abraham Lincoln famously observed, “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” CRT aims to divide the American nation against itself and burn down the house.
In Black Eye for America, the authors expose the true nature of CRT and offer concrete solutions for taking back the country’s stolen institutions by:
- Describing CRT in theory and practice, accounting for its origins and weaponization within American schools and workplaces
- Explaining how this ideology threatens traditional American values and legal doctrines, including civil rights
- Equipping everyday Americans with strategies to help them resist and defeat CRT’s pernicious influence.
What The Critics Say
TESTIMONIALS FROM AROUND THE WORLD
Dr. Ben Carson, Read This Book.
To fight evil ideas, a society needs people with intelligence and courage. Without the latter, civilization as we know it will simply disintegrate. That is why Black Eye for America is so important: the authors combine equal amounts of intelligence and courage. If you want to understand Critical Race Theory and most importantly, why it is the antithesis of every beautiful idea in the American and Western worlds, read this book.
Dennis Prager, PragerUCRT Attempts To Revive Racial Prejudice
Critical race theory is attempting to revive racial prejudice, perverting justice and using discrimination as a social weapon. Carol Swain and Christopher Schorr’s book is exactly what Americans need to understand the threat critical race theory poses to all of us—and to help individuals, families, and communities chart a course to the American Dream.
Jonathan Butcher, The Heritage FoundationAn Accessible Explanation of CRT
Carol Swain and Christopher Schorr have written the first truly comprehensive and lucid book describing the essence, history, and true intentions of critical theory. They explain the origins of critical race theory and its relationship to current politics, history, civil rights and traditional American values. They end by offering effective strategies for challenging and resisting it. Unlike most descriptions of critical theory that leave one simply with a new set of confusing words, e.g, Marxism, here all things are explained in cogent language with clear examples. I have taught critical theory in graduate classes for twenty years and this is the most accessible and thorough explanation of its tenets, historical effects, and its real intentions around the world. If you wondered if you would ever see an accessible explanation regarding critical theory or critical race theory, the search is over – Swain and Schorr have pulled it all together here.
