The "Antiracist" Mental Health Threat That No One Talks About
Ridgley, Stanley K.
Academic Questions, v35 n1 p64-70 2022
"Antiracist pedagogy" is a major element of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion ideology that has found a comfortable home in the American university. But antiracist pedagogy is much more than an abstract self-evident term designed to elicit unqualified support. It has a particular meaning, content, and method, and its details are available to anyone who digs into the literature published in esoteric journals of university schools of education and off-campus non-profits. Antiracist pedagogy is a psychotherapeutic intervention program that divides students into two arbitrary categories based on race and dictated by ideology--oppressors and oppressed. The content of antiracism consists of a mélange of pseudoscientific speculations informed by paranoia that are then codified into a provincial theory emerging from schools of education. It is unsound and has no foundation in legitimate social scientific circles.
