Have you ever wondered if your baby is racist? You should, according to the Arizona Department of Education.
The Arizona Department of Education has created an "equity" toolkit claiming that babies show the first signs of racism at three months old and that white children "remain strongly biased in favor of whiteness" by age five.
Journalist Christopher Rufo is doing a major research project on the wokeness of education, and his investigations have revealed how far critical race theory has spread in America’s institutions – including, most alarmingly, in schools.
His latest discovery is that the Arizona Department of Education has released a new ‘equity’ toolkit intended to help families and teachers tackle racism among children. It advises that even babies as young as three months old can show racial prejudice. The evidence? They ‘look more at faces which match the race of their caregivers’.
The toolkit says that children must be made aware that ‘the reality in which they are embedded ascribes unearned privileges to their whiteness’.
This madness is the inevitable result of the cult of critical race theory. No one should be surprised that those who see racism everywhere see it in babies, too. Once, kids were viewed as uniquely free of society’s prejudices. But racism is now considered to be so pervasive that even the most innocent are seen as stained by this original sin of the cult of wokeness.
Last year, ‘anti-racist’ activist Ibram X Kendi released Antiracist Baby, aimed at turning pre-schoolers woke.
This divisive racial obsession has no place in schools, nurseries or anywhere where kids can be found. As Adventists looking for Jesus to return, we must not raise a generation of children to think that ‘race is an essential part of their identity’. If these apostate religious zealots get their way, wokeness will be shoved down children’s throats the minute they come out the womb, unless they are aborted first—another cardinal doctrine of the religion of social justice wokeness.
And so they blunder on. To prevent their babies from becoming racist, parents must start to utter anti-racist spells and incantations from birth. I wonder what, exactly, is expected. Should white parents don blackface every third time they care for their child, so it grows up to see blacks as equal caregivers? Should they make ‘Black Lives Matter’ their child’s first words? How about cutting off contact from all other white children so they cannot racistly prefer them as playmates at age two?
This is the sort of nonsense so ridiculous that only a university graduate could convince xirself that it is beneficial. But we have a better way (1 Corinthians 12:31).
God gave the Adventist Message as a unique gift to humanity. Our Message transcends the self-absorption of anti-racism and the fervid dogma of social justice, bidding His people to come out of the cold sarcophagus’ of Babylon’s madness.
In Him, we have peace eternal that lies like a great calm on the Sea of Glass. Loving Him supremely leads us to love one another (John 13:34-35; Ephesian 4:2).

“And may the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you, so that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all His saints” (1 Thess. 3:12).
