Critical race theory is more insidious than even most conservatives realize

The much-maligned ideology is not “radical” or “left-wing” – it’s a tool of elitist control
In a recent post, right-wing social commentator and former academic Matt Goodwin announced that he had “just exposed how the British Psychological Society (BPS) had been captured by ‘anti-racist racists’.”
This post is the latest in a series in which Goodwin reveals that various institutions in the UK (including the BBC and the NHS) had been “fully captured by radical if not extreme ideologies.”
One might nitpick over the term “radical” – but if Goodwin is saying that most powerful institutions in Britain are dominated by woke postmodern ideologies, one can readily agree with him.
Goodwin’s latest post – by citing numerous telling passages from BPS publications – shows beyond a doubt that the BPS has adopted wholesale the postmodern ideology known as “critical race theory.”
Goodwin appears shocked by his discovery – but it should not surprise anyone interested in the development of the ideology of critical race theory over the past five decades to find that a professional institution like the BPS has been infected by it.
The march of various postmodern ideologies through universities and other institutions in the West commenced in the late 1960s in the United States, and has intensified exponentially since then – and the literature analyzing this phenomenon (both academic and popular) is vast.
