* Apparently, racism against Asians isn’t worth addressing, even in a specific response to the document’s lack of inclusivity.
This is also why we so strongly oppose CRT and why we believe it is so important to expose the hypocrisy of its advocates within our school. Instead, it now permeates courses on math, the physical sciences, and indeed all aspects of the curriculum at Columbus Academy. The aim of SOLTRAIN is to support the target countries in changing from a largely fossil energy supply system to a sustainable supply structure based on renewable energy in general, and on solar thermal in particular. This explains why the advancement of CRT principles has not been limited to social studies and history classes. SOLTRAIN is a regional initiative on capacity building & demonstration of solar thermal systems in the SADC region. Rather, it is emotional catharsis and a sort of secular religion. Critical Race Theory is not an academic pursuit. In other words, the school’s focus on Black Americans was dictated not by scholarly research or empirical evidence, but by the national media. In explaining why the school’s United Against Racism document addresses only African Americans while excluding “Hispanic and Latino individuals and other minority groups*,” Columbus Academy states, “Because the lived experiences of African Americans were a specific and heightened focus of national dialogue at that time, the school similarly focused its ‘United Against Racism’ publication and related activities on the challenges faced by African Americans in particular.” Demands for evidence supporting CRT’s assertions are summarily dismissed as “white fragility” and “privilege.”Įven Columbus Academy’s own statement belies its description of CRT as scholarly endeavor. In no other legitimate academic discipline would this lack of empirical rigor suffice.Īnd yet, any dissent from Critical Race Theory orthodoxy is treated not as healthy skepticism, but as evidence of the dissenter’s racism. To these advocates, the presence of differential outcomes is itself evidence of a “rigged system.” No further explanation is necessary. And yet, CRT fundamentally rejects foundational scholarly principles of skepticism and empirical observation.Ĭritical Race Theory proponents take it as self-evident that racism is the only possible explanation for differential outcomes (i.e., inequity). It rapidly displays and saves data as scatter plots, flux maps, and performance graphs. SolTrace can model parabolic trough collectors, point-focus concentrating systems, and power towers.

Defenders of Critical Race Theory (CRT) often describe it as an “academic framework.” Columbus Academy’s own defense of its curriculum describes CRT as a term used to “describe various historical and theoretical approaches to understanding the role of race in America” and one that refers to “the writings of specific scholars.” (Emphasis added). SolTrace is a software package that models solar power optical systems and analyzes their performance.
