Critical race theorists have accumulated significant influence over many Canadian institutions, as shown by the pervasiveness of terms like “white privilege” and “systemic racism.”
The historic Empire Club of Canada has even chosen to advocate for CRT to be taught in public schools. However, institutions like the Empire Club ignore that there are different perspectives on CRT within minority communities. There are many Canadians of diverse backgrounds who oppose the controversial ideology and do not feel critical race theorists speak for them.
On February 21, the Canada Strong and Free Network will showcase black community perspectives that are being ignored by CRT-influenced institutions today. We will discuss why CRT is the subject of such controversy, why people feel the need to oppose it in schools and workplaces, and if CRT can ever offer a path to a more just society.
Hear from a number of important voices in media and politics:
The Canada Strong and Free Network (formerly the Manning Centre) was founded in 2005 to support Canada’s conservative movement by networking best practices and ideas pertaining to limited government, free enterprise, individual responsibility and a more robust civil society.
