FROM THE LAST ENGLISH PRINCE:
The Scarabeus sacer, sacred to ancient Egyptians, is actually the lowly black-winged dung beetle. The status afforded it is reflected in the images of this stout-bodied beetle which were cut into gems or fashioned from stone. Engraved with historical or religious inscriptions which ran along the underbelly, the replicas served as amulets or were used as impression seals.
Today, we are witnessing the resurrection of the Cult of the Scarab and the worship at the altar of what is imagined to be a rising sun across the nation. Critical Race Theory is a dung beetle rolling along its pile of excrement across our educational landscape, creating a generation of schoolchildren emerging from the ball. They are inscribed with historical footnotes. And emerging from the ever-expanding ball, they will move into adulthood with distinctive profiles fashioned by disinformation.
This is not purloined from Soviet-style disinformation which carefully crafts the tissue of lies which are peddled along. Critical Race Theory is a more deeply specialized and devious form of the warring craft. Agitation propaganda is not just about the dissemination of lies. It can present as a preponderance of truth which when presented without balance, becomes a lie. This is the nature of CRT. Carefully crafted, are the historical footnotes, delivered with venom and lacking perspective.

Appropriate comparison!
Thank you for posting, Pasto. Continuation of thoughts will be made later today.

"I hate it when these things do that!" Funniest horror movie ever.
Working with Cult Awareness Network, I knew of at least one Egypt-tinged satanist cult which used the scarab frequently as a symbol.
Their leader beat conviction for child molestation (and later, sex trafficking) by claiming "the children were coached". Just sayin'.
I have never heard of Cult Awareness Network, but I think CRT adherents are brainwashed members of a cult. Generally speaking, cult members lose their faculty for rational and critical thinking. Not a lot of that going around with CRT membership.
Years ago, I read a "Book of Cults" by Bob Larson. It seemed a good primer.
