Former Trump Official Russ Vought’s Nonprofit Calls CRT a Threat to ‘Colorblind Society’

Swain also wonders how many apologies from Southern Baptist leaders on the topic of racism will be enough. The denomination was founded by churches that supported slavery, and Southern Baptists defended Jim Crow laws. The SBC apologized for its racist past in 1995, rejected t he Confederate battle flag in 2016 and passed a resolution on the Bible and racial reconciliation in 2021.

“I do think the manner in which the SBC was formed holds the organization captive on the race issue,” she said in an email. “I have lost count of the number of apologies and resolutions that the organization has offered since its founding. It is time for its leaders to accept the forgiveness that Christ offers and move forward.”

Swain has been vocal about her criticism of CRT on social media.

“We are living in an Orwellian world where the Left is attempting to erase and recreate America,” she tweeted recently. “Don’t let them!”

Ali worries any discussion about race or racial justice will now become labeled as CRT and any policies for addressing racial inequities will be rejected because of that label. And he doesn’t see the anti-CRT movement fading away soon.

“It’s going to be successful,” he said. “I feel like we are behind the eight ball.”
