Abstract
Critical Race Theory is sweeping across the country, changing the way people see the world and creating its own version of American history. Critical Race Theory proclaims a different path towards “freedom” and “liberation”, yet it is a mirage, and the tactics they use to fight the systemic racism in the United States only produce more racism. Key terms like "intersectionality" and "racial equity" are used to describe how they plan to dismantle hierarchies and racism, yet these ideas are not what they seem at first glance. Critical Race Theory is a worldview that is not just about race: it is a lifestyle that answers key questions about who we are, what is wrong with the world, and how we can fix it. Yet, these answers are antithetical to the Christian Worldview.
