Harsh Critic of Sharia Law Says Critical Race Theory is ‘Worst Philosophy’ Ever

OPINION | This article contains the author's opinion.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who is a Somali-Dutch scholar and activist, has a message about critical race theory.

During an interview with Fox News, she called it a “nihilistic” practice that will teach children to “hate” one another.

This sort of “wokeness” which is become trendy in America merely stokes division, Ali says.

“It divides us into people of different races and it says that these racial differences are irreconcilable and then divisions along gender, along transgender, along immigrants,” she said.

“It sees no reconciliation, no coming together unless the people that they describe as eternal victims, black people, people of color, women, transgender people, unless they unite to destroy and dismantle our existing institutions,” she continued.

“It’s a very nihilistic, zero-sum game. It’s the worst philosophy I’ve ever come across,” Ali said.

“What CRT tells schoolchildren and teachers, educations, is that small children can only relate to one another based on their color and their gender and all of these other identity details that they have,” Ali said.

“So you have one set of children who will hate the other. Black children and children of color will hate White children because they’ll associate them with oppression, and they’ll see them as their oppressors.”

“White children, on the other hand,” Ali continued, “will hate America because they will feel that it’s the legacy of America that has saddled them, burdened them with this terrible history.”

She concluded, “Both sets of children will look at America and America’s legacies and institutions and all that they have either with contempt or with hatred and anger or a combination of all.”
