Radical Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez targeted human infants in her latest rant on CNN this week; accusing “guiltless” children of “gravitating towards members of their own race.”
"We should say why don’t you want our schools to teach anti-racism? Why don’t Republicans want their kids to know the tradition of anti-racism in the United States?" said AOC on CNN. "Why are they attacking the core roots of history in this country that strays anything beyond what we already know? … Why don’t Republicans want us to learn how to not be racist? Why don’t Republicans want kids to know how to not be racist?"
"Here's something that we know neuro-cognitively … Babies already start to gravitate towards members of their own race when they’re disproportionately exposed to just one race in their life," Ocasio-Cortez said. "It doesn’t mean that babies are racist, but what it means is that we already start to gravitate towards communities and people that we already know we're acclimated to."
"Children do not feel guilt about racism when they learn early on what racism is. In fact, children learn to recognize it and can engage in corrective behavior early," she added. "Republicans are using these words like critical race theory, which again is a law school curriculum that is not even taught in schools, and their argument is well, some teachers may be exposed to it."
"Oh, wow, so your child’s teacher is anti-racist and is actually fluent in how to dismantle racism and the dynamics of racism in a classroom. That is something that teachers should know how to do and Republicans are trying to ban this, are trying to ban us from knowing our own history," she said.
