Riassunto

Critical Race Theory, Critical Pedagogy, Postmodernism, and Critical Theory have become deeply embedded in America's K-12 schools over the past four to five decades. Parents throughout the Western world have become aware of programs and initiatives based on these ideologies and have begun to speak out against these controversial philosophies.

But, what are they? What does "CRT" mean, how is it being implemented in your child's classroom, and what can you do about it?

Critical Condition explains these concepts and provides the reader with thorough citations and direct quotes from original sources.

Praise for Critical Condition:

"The opening line of Matthew Nielsen's new book is an essential reminder for everyone interested in the state and future of American education: "Schools exist...for the education of children.

In Critical Condition, Nielsen breaks down many of the issues that make that one critical goal more difficult to achieve today. In the first few paragraphs and then throughout the book, he explains the malign power of the major teachers' unions, the sheer remarkable SIZE of the bureaucracies that now control modern K-12 schools, and the bizarre 'social justice' curricula featured in many of the universities which produce the teachers of today.

Most notably, he focuses on the growing influence of radical critical theories within the K-12 system itself. Speaking as a veteran of the war against excessive Wokeness, within organizations like 1776 Unites and the Foundation against Intolerance and Racism (F.A.I.R), Nielsen has produced one of the most compelling analyses of this problem I have yet read. Our schools may indeed soon be in "critical condition" if his core suggestions are not adopted."
—Wilfred C. Reilly, PhD, Professor of Political Science, Author

“Philosophies first taught in colleges and universities—including postmodernism, Critical Race Theory, other anti-liberal-education ideologies—are now staples in K-12 classrooms. Nielsen’s Critical Condition will help readers grasp how Enlightenment ideals have been under attack for decades and what must be done to restore genuine education to our schools.”
— Stephen R. C. Hicks, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, author of Explaining Postmodernism: Skepticism and Socialism from Rousseau to Foucault.


“The Enlightenment ideals that built the most prosperous civilization in history are under attack. That war is now being fought in our schools. Parents. Do you know what your children are being taught in school? "Critical Condition” provides a glimpse into the shocking reality of ideological indoctrination in American K-12 education.”
