7. Confronting woke institutions

President Trump’s now-rescinded ban³⁶ on CRT training in federal agencies should be reinstated and state governments should follow his lead, as Arkansas already has.³⁷ We need much more action on this front.³⁸ At all levels of government, we should be pushing for changes to fiscal and regulatory policy to make life more difficult for companies who push CRT on their employees and easier for those who do not. Tax shelters for foundations and nonprofits that fund CRT should be scrapped. Employee civil rights protections should be aggressively enforced and, indeed, extended to encourage employees to sue companies for subjecting them to DEI workforce training. If there are additional grounds on which to target CRT companies—anticompetitive practices, for example—we should pursue those as well.

In addition, we believe that no compelling public interest is served by instructing young Americans to hate their country and their fellow citizens. As such, we can think of no reason for government to continue to subsidize CRT college instruction through grants and loans. Obviously, students should be free to take whatever course they are willing to pay for themselves. Policymakers should also consider the academic and broader societal merits of related, heavily Marxism-influenced fields. Certainly, degrees in CRT and perhaps, in related fields, should be delisted from fulfilling education requirements for government hiring purposes.

Moving beyond public policy, we can incorporate the principles of “voice, exit, and guerrilla warfare” described in the previous chapter into our efforts to dissuade major institutions from pushing CRT. Briefly, you can “voice” your objections to CRT public rhetoric and to DEI training. If, for example, you are a major stockholder or supplier to a “woke” business, or even if you are just a consumer of business products (we all are), you have leverage. If the institution fails to relent, you can exert additional pressure by depriving it of your resources (“exit”): your money, your time, etc. Finally, we can think of nonvoice/ exit approaches to combating CRT in the institutions as (figurative) “guerrilla warfare” tactics: e.g., working to undermine the legitimacy of CRT-promoting institutions.
