DailyKenn.com — Marxism divides societies into two groups: Oppressors and oppressed. It gives the notion an academic tone by referring to the groups as the bourgeois and proletariat, respectively.
It is that template that appears to be the foundation of critical race theory (CRT). It is taught in California's government schools in grades K-12 and may soon be banned in other states, such as Texas.
The Epoch Times reports that researcher, editor, and filmmaker Christopher Rufoin has concluded that CRT is both divisive and harmful.

He said he saw how the theory manifests as a curriculum and a teacher training program as well as what its effects are on kids.
“First graders in Cupertino, California … are forced to deconstruct their racial and sexual identities and then rank themselves according to their power and privilege,” Rufo told NTD Television. “I did a story about middle school teachers in Springfield, Missouri, who were forced to locate themselves on an oppression matrix; and white, male, Christian, English-speaking teachers were told that they were inherently oppressors; and other teachers were told that they were inherently oppressed.”
He also wrote a piece about teachers in Philadelphia asking fifth graders to celebrate “Black communism” and simulate an “Angela Davis Black Power” rally.
