New Jersey Passes Bill that Requires "Social Justice" and Racism Education in Public Schools
Manhattan Institute adjunct fellow Eric Kaufmann has a new report and original survey data that came out on April 7 on the “social construction of racism.” He concludes that ideology, partisanship, social media, and education influence Americans to perceive more racism than they did in previous years.
Across a range of surveys (including his own) Kaufmann found that:
• Ideology—and, to a lesser degree, social media exposure and university education—has heightened people’s perceptions of racism.
• Depression and anxiety are linked to perceiving more racism.
• The level of racism in society reported by whites appears to be driven more by political leaning than the level reported by blacks.
• Liberal whites are more supportive of punitive critical race theory postulates than blacks, who aspire to agency and resilience.
• Critical race theory appeared to have a detrimental effect on African-Americans’ feeling of being in control of their lives.
• As much as half of reported racism may be ideologically or psychologically conditioned, and the rise in the proportion of Americans claiming racism to be an important problem is largely socially constructed.
