Michael Breen: Spotlighting differences just leads to more division between people

To The Daily Sun,

After some confusion, the hard-pressed Moultonborough School Board understood they had conducted gender ideological training and had its curriculum. Among this gibberish-laden and never adequately reviewed curriculum’s endless misrepresentations, the most objectionable is the eugenics-Critical Race Theory notion that one’s race and nationality “create one’s sense of self: the state of being who we are.”

This belief that races or nationalities have distinct natural norms which determine “who we are” was justification of U.S. slaveholders, white and Black supremacists, and countless other delusional racists. It was the rationalization of Japanese and Nazi extremists in the murdering millions of “inferiors.” It incentivized genocides in Bosnia, Cambodian, East Timor, Rwanda, the Darfur Region and Guatemala. Today, diversity, equity and inclusion/eugenics burdened universities’ call for separate dorms, separate graduations, alongside the elimination of Jews “from the river to the sea.” Likewise, Ibram X. Kendi’s “anti-racist” claims that white citizens are racist since infancy and require punishment, as well as Kristene Clark’s (DOJ, Civil Rights Division) assertion that the “Blacks” are genetically superior to others, all share these eugenics beliefs.

This belief, integral with gender ideology’s “identities,” is reinforced in Moultonborough’s curriculum that calls for attendees to publicly declare their racial/nationality “identity” which supposedly created “who they are.” To believe in eugenics, we would have to believe that our individualism — our identity, our value, is not our own; it is dictated by skin complexion and facial features. In sum, eugenics is a hate-laden, intellectually bankrupt, and historically demonstrably dangerous lie.

Conversely, it’s Dr. Martin Luther King’s philosophy that fits with our hearts and intellect. Clearly, the content of one’s human character, is the core of “identity.” It is not limited or enhanced by, one’s race, nationality, or other superficial differences. Sadly, Moultonborough’s promised clarification — correcting this already taught eugenics falsehood — remains unrealized.
