Since Conservative organizations aren’t engaged in a well-coordinated response to the Left’s mendaciousness, it signals the Left that they can get away with pushing the boundaries even further. Like a child testing the resolve of their parents, this will continue until they get appropriate resistance, or they succeed in attaining their goals.
For a while now their target has been America. Since they can’t (yet) take that on directly, the Left’s strategy has been to undermine its pillars (Science, Family, Religion, Freedoms, etc.). In arguably their boldest attack to date, they have been repeatedly proclaiming the incivility and criminality of being white.
Most white people think that this friction is just about racial differences — but they could not be more wrong. Racial inequalities, real or imagined, are just a spark to ignite an explosion, to blow up their much bigger target: America.
Simply look at what the Leftists (e.g., here) are identifying as evil characteristics of being white, and see how few actually have anything to do with racial injustices. Remember, everything on this list is characterized as being BAD:
The Scientific Method
Objective, rational linear thinking
Quantitative emphasis
Independence and autonomy
Self-reliance
Must “do something” about a problematic situation
When taking action, intent counts
Majority rules
Justice based on English common law
Property protection
Respect for authority
Rules for communication are based on the “King’s English”
Avoid conflict
Be polite
Holidays based on Christian religions
Primacy of Judeo–Christian traditions
No tolerance for deviation from the single-god concept
Hard work is the key to success (Protestant work ethic #1)
Work before play (Protestant work ethic #2)
Adherence to time schedules
Plan for future
Delayed gratification
Tomorrow will be better
Having a written tradition
A nuclear family (father, mother, 2.3 children is the ideal social unit)
Children should have their own rooms, be independent
Again, we are being advised to discard ALL of the above, simply because they are supposedly “white norms,” that non-whites have been “oppressed” into following.
The reality is that every tradition, practice, belief, rule, etc. has an origin that can be traced back to Adam and Eve. If we want to assign blame, they are the ones who made a bad choice. Our options are:
1 - We can double down on their error and go further into the abyss, or
2 - We can learn from their mistake and choose God as the answer.
In other words, as long as we are trying to substitute secular (human) value systems for Judeo-Christian standards, we will continue on a downward spiral to a VERY dark and destitute place…

As a sitting school board director of a large suburban Seattle district, I’ve struggled against the Leftist majority. Trying repeatedly to restrain from futile proselytizing, my altruist intention was to simply “represent” a traditionalist perspective. All the evidence was there of the odious agenda to “abolish whiteness”.
You have captured it succinctly. The managing administration of state employees collude with the public sector teachers union in the adoption of rot: SEL, CRT, CSE, etc. The SB is the Pretorian guard that ensures the public’s awareness and interference is blunted. The union is the money-laundering arm of the Democrat Party to elect public officials that further push the mind-numbing garbage. Taxpayers are paying for the revolution.
They are telling us what they are doing. They do not even hide it anymore. Those with eyes to read, minds to discern, ears to listen and souls that are centered need to find their voices while there is still time.
The students in the academic halls who are screaming “decolonize the USA” did not just become radicalized in college. They were nurtured in the incubators of public K-12 and then let off the leash once away from home and in the company of the crowd.
This is happening everywhere.
There is a reason so many kids are no longer required to do homework.
But, you should do yours.
Your summation on this subject brings to mind a quote by none other than Joseph Stalin: "America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: Its patriotism, its morality and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."
