Skillet frontman John Cooper warns critical race theory and woke ideology is sparking a civil war in American churches
John Cooper, frontman for the Christian rock band Skillet, issued a dire warning about the damaging effects of critical race theory and woke ideologies have on Christians. Cooper says far-left ideologies are sparking a civil war in the American church.
Cooper noticed that social justice started seeping into the church around 2012, which confused the Christian rocker.
"I knew that I wanted to be a light to the world and I want[ed] to share the Gospel of Christ," Cooper told Fox News. "And I believe a part of that is loving people, and helping the poor, and so on and so forth, but there were things about the social justice movement that gave me a lot of red flags and I didn't quite understand what was happening. That is when I began to really delve into culture, philosophy, and those types of things."
Cooper explained that progressives alter the language and definitions of words, such as "anti-racism."
"What kind of Christian isn't against racism? I mean, that would be a very strange thing to not be against racism," the Skillet lead singer said. "But I need to know what you mean when you say [you oppose racism] so that I know what I am marching for or what I am standing up for ... Can we have a definition of terms? That would be really nice."
"They were going along with the terminology without understanding what they were going into, and now I think that's becoming very clear," Cooper said of the woke language. "We're having a bit of a church split because a lot of people really believe one way and a lot of people believe another way. I think we're seeing a civil war in the American church – over social justice."
"Critical race theory has become this bogeyman term and some people get really mad when you bring [it] up," he continued. "So, let's not say what critical race theory is. Let me just say what it does ... CRT is responsible for a new Christian book ... that is a book of prayers, including a prayer that says 'God please help me to hate white people.'"
"A conclusion of CRT is that ... majority-white churches that don't have black leadership are racist," Cooper said, explaining the complexities of critical race theory, and the hypocrisy of the ideology. "But if they do have black leadership, they may be racist because they're tokenizing blacks. But if they have a black man that they believe is gifted, and they want to send him to a Bible college – after that man gets done with Bible college, if he comes back to the white-majority church and the white-majority church keeps him for their own, then they could be guilty of racism for holding talent in the white community and not sending it out to the black community. But if that black man comes back afterwards, and they send him back to the black community, it's proof of racism because they don't want to be under black leadership."
As another example of CRT, Cooper cited when left-wing author Ibram Kendi, author of the book "How to Be An Antiracist," said that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett adopted two black children to shield her from accusations of being a racist.
The Christian rocker noted that just 10 years ago, Americans rarely talked about skin color, but "we talk about it all of the time now."
"It has made everything in life seen through a monocausality of the color of your skin," he said in the interview. "It's those kinds of things that I see as a completely separate worldview than Christianity. But it is being imported into the Bible, and then people are using Bible scriptures along with that worldview – but they don't actually go together. They're kind of imposing a wrong worldview with the words of Christ. So, now the words of Christ don't mean the same thing as they historically have meant."
He said that his "woke friends" question his Christian faith if he doesn't march for social injustices because they believe it's a "gospel issue."
Cooper called out Black Lives Matter for wanting to "destroy the nuclear family – that's the opposite of what God has said."
The musician also warned against having the "government take care of more people."
"Well, that's the opposite of what God says. It's the parents' job to govern the children," he said. "That is your mandate from God, and you can't buck against the design of God. You buck against the design of God, it bucks back."
Cooper, who is the author of "Awake & Alive to Truth," sees many of the social justice marches and protests as "performative," and aren't providing real solutions. Instead of marching, Cooper advises, "If you apply the wisdom of Proverbs to your life, you will thrive, and there is nothing that can stop you from flourishing because you are acting within the design of God."
The rock star admitted, "American church did not step up as I believe she should have" in regards to condemning racism in the past.
"And we look back at that and say, 'Man the church missed some big opportunities to be a light to the world – to have stood up during Jim Crow laws and during redlining, and during all of these various things,'" Cooper stated. "Because of that, we don't want to be on the wrong side – we don't want to be on the wrong side of history, and so people I think were kind of going along with a lot of the terminology."
Cooper lamented that it is really hard to have honest conversations these days because "people are ready to fight," but he counters the negativity by praying. "I'm not suggesting I always do a good job of this – but I always do pray that I could be full of the spirit of God in order to be gracious toward someone that I disagree with," he said.

This "Cancel" strategy is working to control people and is killing even hints of dissenting views in so many areas of society
It is a thought out and extremely effective strategy . The way people, companies, Govt bodies, Educations systems etc. are folding, I'm unsure it will be turned around

There has to be a collective revolt against this Orwellian madness. If not, it's irreversible.

The one I'm aware of is the one I was brought up with to an extent .. the ironically -called "United" church which went "woke" decades before woke was in vogue .. so I bailed from them long ago .. they forgot and left behind what they were originally about
As a kid they had been "light" in all regards .. a comfortable surrounding .. but sadly that left ages ago when they went all woke and judgmental of those who wouldn't go that route
I never thought they were typical of "most" others

Wasn't originally, but it did become exactly that some time back. For example, I could have taken openly gay assistant ministers if they were picked on merit, but they were so common it was clear they were picked to prove a point as that church went all woke decades ago
I never thought of it as typical of other churches .. of late it morphed into a breed all of its own almost overnight everywhere

"Critical race theory has become this bogeyman term and some people get really mad when you bring [it] up," he continued. "So, let's not say what critical race theory is. Let me just say what it does ... CRT is responsible for a new Christian book ... that is a book of prayers, including a prayer that says 'God please help me to hate white people.'"
"A conclusion of CRT is that ... majority-white churches that don't have black leadership are racist," Cooper said, explaining the complexities of critical race theory, and the hypocrisy of the ideology. "But if they do have black leadership, they may be racist because they're tokenizing blacks. But if they have a black man that they believe is gifted, and they want to send him to a Bible college – after that man gets done with Bible college, if he comes back to the white-majority church and the white-majority church keeps him for their own, then they could be guilty of racism for holding talent in the white community and not sending it out to the black community. But if that black man comes back afterwards, and they send him back to the black community, it's proof of racism because they don't want to be under black leadership."
As another example of CRT, Cooper cited when left-wing author Ibram Kendi, author of the book "How to Be An Antiracist," said that Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett adopted two black children to shield her from accusations of being a racist.
The Christian rocker noted that just 10 years ago, Americans rarely talked about skin color, but "we talk about it all of the time now."
"It has made everything in life seen through a monocausality of the color of your skin," he said in the interview. "It's those kinds of things that I see as a completely separate worldview than Christianity. But it is being imported into the Bible, and then people are using Bible scriptures along with that worldview – but they don't actually go together. They're kind of imposing a wrong worldview with the words of Christ. So, now the words of Christ don't mean the same thing as they historically have meant."
He said that his "woke friends" question his Christian faith if he doesn't march for social injustices because they believe it's a "gospel issue."
Cooper called out Black Lives Matter for wanting to "destroy the nuclear family – that's the opposite of what God has said."
The musician also warned against having the "government take care of more people."
"Well, that's the opposite of what God says. It's the parents' job to govern the children," he said. "That is your mandate from God, and you can't buck against the design of God. You buck against the design of God, it bucks back."
Cooper, who is the author of "Awake & Alive to Truth," sees many of the social justice marches and protests as "performative," and aren't providing real solutions. Instead of marching, Cooper advises, "If you apply the wisdom of Proverbs to your life, you will thrive, and there is nothing that can stop you from flourishing because you are acting within the design of God."
The rock star admitted, "American church did not step up as I believe she should have" in regards to condemning racism in the past.
"And we look back at that and say, 'Man the church missed some big opportunities to be a light to the world – to have stood up during Jim Crow laws and during redlining, and during all of these various things,'" Cooper stated. "Because of that, we don't want to be on the wrong side – we don't want to be on the wrong side of history, and so people I think were kind of going along with a lot of the terminology."
Cooper lamented that it is really hard to have honest conversations these days because "people are ready to fight," but he counters the negativity by praying. "I'm not suggesting I always do a good job of this – but I always do pray that I could be full of the spirit of God in order to be gracious toward someone that I disagree with," he said.
This is happening in liberal synagogues.

Others have called this projection—and that's true—but it is more than that.
So much of what the left does and how they act is built around hiding their own bigotry, the espousal of Critical Race Theory—an idea that pretends to social justice but is actually totalitarian in practice—just being one very contemporary example. (Yes, CRT is bad for whites, but it's even worse, ultimately, for blacks.)

They are not done - in fact are just starting
Next will be white heterosexuals are inherently biased / bigoted / evil toward other sex terms created (flavor of the day) ... supported with the similar twisted arguments they use for race
I'm sure they will find an argument that put's it all on white heteros alone, exempting "people of color" (if that's still an acceptable term today, sigh) .. again using a twist on their proven CRT arguments
Mark my words, that's next up .. and worse, this process will never end .. they will continue down this circular road constantly finding new vehicles of attack

"My encouragement to you is lean into it," Banks said, citing polling showing only a small fraction of Americans want their children being taught Critical Race Theory. "Lean into the culture war."

A Philadelphia-based radio personality, Chris Stigall, told The Epoch Times that critical race theory (CRT) is not only showing up in our schools and military but also in other places—even in churches. He believes that CRT is the racial version of Marxism.
Stigall hosts two different radio shows each day and produces a daily podcast as well. According to his website, "Talkers Magazine" has listed him as one of the "100 Most Important Radio Hosts in America" since 2009.
For the past week, Stigall has produced multiple programs on one topic: CRT. He told The Epoch Times that by the time he was able to return to church and his children were able to return to school after the lockdowns last year, he felt as though something radical had hijacked these institutions.
"I got back to church, and we were immediately hit with a critical race theory sermon, which was not anything that had been in my church before. My kids started to get hit with this 'diversity' and 'inclusiveness' stuff that is code for this critical race theory."
According to criticalrace.org, "critical race theory is an academic movement which seeks to link racism, race, and power ... Critical race theorists argue that American social life, political structures, and economic systems are founded upon race, which (in their view) is a social construct."
Stigall explained his understanding: CRT teaches white people that they are always guilty no matter how much they apologize. And it sends an even worse message to non-white people—that they are always disadvantaged, and there's nothing they can do about it.
In his opinion, CRT is a "purposeful provocation ... It pits people against one another, from day one, just by virtue of who they are." And he believes that this is totally antithetical to everything that America has striven to achieve as individuals.
Because of CRT teachings in schools, Stigall decided to pull his youngest child out of the public school system. He said his youngest child is still quite impressionable, and he doesn't want her to be steeped in this toxic ideology.
The radio host saw how his older children became so sincerely confused since the term "racist" was being thrown at them just because they are white. His biggest concern is that if the children are "fed a steady diet of 'you are a bad person,' how long do kids get that message before they do become really nasty, awful, hostile people?"
Stigall understands that Marxism divides people according to their economic status: the wealthy people are oppressive, and the poor people are oppressed. Similarly, CRT is the racial version of Marxism. "It's a deconstruction. That oppressed, oppressor dynamic is exactly the same as Marxism. [CRT] is just a different angle of looking at it," he said.

JULY 2, 2021 — JOHN HINDERAKER
How radical are they? The National Education Association boasts that it is not just the largest teachers' union, but
The NEA is currently holding its annual meeting. This is Item 39 of New Business:
The NEA will, with guidance on implementation from the NEA president and chairs of the Ethnic Minority Affairs Caucuses:
A. Share and publicize, through existing channels, information already available on critical race theory (CRT) — what it is and what it is not; have a team of staffers for members who want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric; and share information with other NEA members as well as their community members.
B. Provide an already-created, in-depth, study that critiques empire, white supremacy, anti-Blackness, anti-Indigeneity, racism, patriarchy, cisheteropatriarchy, capitalism, ableism, anthropocentrism, and other forms of power and oppression at the intersections of our society, and that we oppose attempts to ban critical race theory and/or The 1619 Project.
C. Publicly (through existing media) convey its support for the accurate and honest teaching of social studies topics, including truthful and age-appropriate accountings of unpleasant aspects of American history, such as slavery, and the oppression and discrimination of Indigenous, Black, Brown, and other peoples of color, as well as the continued impact this history has on our current society. The Association will further convey that in teaching these topics, it is reasonable and appropriate for curriculum to be informed by academic frameworks for understanding and interpreting the impact of the past on current society, including critical race theory.
D. Join with Black Lives Matter at School and the Zinn Education Project to call for a rally this year on October 14—George Floyd's birthday—as a national day of action to teach lessons about structural racism and oppression—even in places where it is illegal and requires civil disobedience. Followed by additional days of action that recognize and honor lives taken such as Breonna Taylor, Philando Castile, and others. The National Education Association shall publicize these National Days of Action to all its members, including in NEA Today.
E. Conduct a listening tour that will educate members on the tools and resources needed to defend honesty in education including but not limited to tools like CRT.
F. Commit President Becky Pringle to make public statements across all lines of media that support racial honesty in education including but not limited to critical race theory.
The proposal carries with it a $343,580 appropriation to promote CRT and undermine America. Will it pass? I assume so. In any event, it certainly reflects the attitudes of the NEA and the large majority of its members. My organization works hard to combat CRT and to improve the public schools, but in many areas, it probably is parental malpractice to put one's children in the hands of the extremists who now dominate public education.

A professor at Penn State University recently made an "average white" student stand up in front of a 700-person lecture hall and explained that he has an inherent "benefit" over any black student, regardless of his behavior.
Dr. Sam Richards, a popular sociology professor at the Pennsylvania school, was attempting to demonstrate the effects of systemic racism last month when he executed the unusual classroom illustration.
"I just take the average white guy in class, whoever it is, it doesn't really matter," Richards said as he approached a section of students.
"Dude, this guy here. Stand up, bro. What's your name, bro?" the professor then asked telling a student named Russell to stand up and face the class.
"Look at Russell, right here, it doesn't matter what he does," Richards continued. "If I match him up with a black guy in class, or a brown guy, even ... who's just like him, has the same GPA, looks like him, walks like him, talks like him, acts in a similar way, has been involved in the same groups on campus, takes the same leadership positions, whatever it is ... and we send them into the same jobs ... Russell has a benefit of having white skin."

Let them die!': PTA, NAACP official demonizes parents against critical race theory
Crowds gathered outside the Luther Jackson Middle School in Virginia, where concerned parents were rallying against critical race theory being taught to students in Fairfax County Public Schools. During Thursday's "Stop CRT Rally," a PTA and NAACP official spewed rhetoric against the parents, including proclaiming, "Let them die!"
An event flyer for the "Stop CRT Rally" stated: "It's not about race or equity, it's about a Communist Radical Takeover of America!" At the rally, there were counterprotests, including a diatribe delivered by federal employee Michelle Leete, who is also the vice president of training at the Virginia Parent-Teacher Association, vice president of communications for the Fairfax County PTA, and first vice president of the Fairfax County NAACP.
Leete lambasted anti-critical race theory parents, even going so far as to say, "Let them die!"
Asra Nomani, an education activist and vice president for strategy and investigations for the watchdog group Parents Defending Education, shared footage from the rally and counterprotest on Twitter.
"I listened, stunned, as Michelle Leete, an executive of the NAACP and the PTA, put a target on the backs of parents just because they have a different point of view," said Nomani, whose son recently graduated from Fairfax County Public Schools.
"What we heard tonight was hate speech, pure and simple. It was shocking that anyone would cheer and applaud a call to violence," Nomani told the Daily Wire, "Ironically, her hateful, intolerant words are a perfect illustration of the divisive ideology of critical race theory in action. In the name of tolerance, it preaches intolerance and is a betrayal of all values of humanity and decency."
Harry Jackson, who has three children in the Fairfax public school system and is president-elect of the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology Parent Teacher Student Association, told the Daily Wire, "I was in shock looking at the crowd, watching Ms. Leete pander to white liberals with her hateful rhetoric ... Her call to violence against every kind of parent, including parents who oppose changes to admissions policies at schools like TJ, also reveal that she has a serious conflict of interest."
Thomas Jefferson School for Science and Technology, ranked the top math school in the country, instituted a "merit lottery," where race became a factor in admissions and academic qualifications were a lesser determinant.
The Daily Mail reported that admissions data for the class of 2025 at the prestigious school shows that black students rose from 1% in 2021 to 7%, Hispanics grew from 3% to 11%, white students increased from 18% to 22%, but Asian students dropped from 73% to 54% because of the new standards.

Despite growing opposition to critical race theory (CRT) and a growing number of states passing laws to ban it from classrooms, education and teachers' unions are vowing to teach the controversial subject matter anyway. But one outspoken Florida mom says it's time to "fight fire with fire."
"I think parents have realized you have to fight fire with fire," Quisha King told the Epoch Times. "You have to be as strong, as forceful, and as unrelenting as they are."
King is the Florida mother who gained notoriety when she blasted the Duval County school board with strong opposition to CRT. In response to the National Education Association's threat to go after those who dared oppose CRT, King said "bring it on."
In an effort to help citizens fight back against the behemoth education system, Tea Party Patriots Action (TPPA) is now distributing a 46-page booklet (pdf) teaching parents and students how to get organized in their effort to fight back.
As described on its website, "the United We Stand toolkit is part of TPPA's campaign to encourage people to attend their local school board meetings to oppose CRT, and to urge a full return to in-classroom instruction."
"I think it's good to help parents understand how to recognize (CRT) and how to detect it because they don't really understand how it's being worked into the system," King said. "It's a great, handy guide so they're armed with something."
According to Mehiel, people need to start electing "non-teaching people on those boards," rather than repeatedly pulling from the same barrel of rotten apples. She also suggests people establish a good relationship with their local representatives.
In June, Mehiel organized the "Save our Students" town hall meeting in Vero Beach to rally community members to speak out against proposed lesson materials that pushed critical race theory in K-5 English Language curriculum.

Earlier by Ann Coulter: Critical Race Theory Is A Complex—Oh, Who Are We Kidding?
As we discussed last week, "critical race theory" is a subtle philosophical construct where the answer to everything is: THAT'S RACIST! Teachers hawking this glop are being defended by their journalist allies, who sneer that CRT critics are too stupid to understand the nuances of the theory.
The Aristotelian ideal of this sneer was Elle Reeve's "special report" for CNN—pre-taped to eliminate any danger of Elle being contradicted by someone smarter, such as a 10-year-old.
CNN's Brianna Keilar [Tweet her] introduced the segment by asking her: "Do these vocal opponents of critical race theory actually understand fully what it is?"
(That's what's known as a "rhetorical question," kids!)
Elle: "No." [Bored] "And why should they? It's an academic theory taught mostly at the grad student level. But what they think it means is teaching white kids that all white people are bad and racist. And so, of course they're afraid of that."
They're afraid!!! Wait—remind me: Who's banning books, again? Who's flipping out about "microaggressions"? Who's demanding that Big Tech censor people? Who's demanding "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces" from speech they don't like?
Parents aren't "afraid"; they're incensed. They're paying the salaries of people who spend all day telling their kids that America is racist. (Elle didn't give that explanation. Perhaps it frightens her.)
The "vocal opponents" of CRT who "don't actually understand fully what it is" seem to be mostly billionaire investment bankers—at least judging by the articles in the Daily Mail. Elle's conclusion: a "theory" that consists of going around shouting "RACISM!" is too complex for those guys to understand.
The format of Elle's pre-taped report consisted of her interviewing opponents of CRT ... then nailing them with her brilliant comebacks! Except even with CNN doing the editing, the CRT opponents sounded perfectly reasonable, while Elle's comebacks kept revealing her yawning stupidity.
Early in Elle's report, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz is shown saying, "Critical race theory says America's fundamentally racist." What a dope!
About 60 seconds later, Elle deferentially asks a hijab-wearing high school teacher to explain CRT. The teacher exclaims: "Race and racism is literally the building blocks of this country!" (Were I the editor of Elle's piece, I think I would have cut that part of her answer.)
Next, Elle talks to a parent fighting CRT, who says: "Don't force on our kids a particular worldview. Taking a wide brush and painting this country as structurally racist, it's insane ... it's a lie."
To this, Elle [Tweet her] patronizingly informs the parent that America's racism "isn't distant history." Her evidence of contemporary racism? "In the '90s, the crime bill gave much more severe sentencing to crack cocaine versus powder cocaine simply because black people were perceived as doing crack cocaine and white people weren't ..."
HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS? The reason crack penalties were so severe is because the Congressional Black Caucus demanded it. (And as long as I'm correcting Elle's false facts, the crack penalties were passed in 1986 and 1988, not "in the 1990s.")
Black churches, black leaders and black members of Congress were enraged by what the crack epidemic was doing to their neighborhoods. A 1986 New York Times article reported on "all-night vigils" held by the leaders of 60 black churches, who called the crack epidemic "a new form of genocide." Urban League President John Jacob railed against communities "held hostage by crack dealers," saying "drugs kill more blacks than the (Ku Klux) Klan ever did." Running for president in 1988, Jesse Jackson spoke of the scourge of crack cocaine and told a cheering crowd, "When I become president, the drug pusher is in trouble."
White supremacists—right, Elle?
This has been patiently explained roughly 1 million times. But why bother knowing stuff when smug arrogance is good enough for CNN?
Elle's next big "gotcha" was even more embarrassing, if that is possible. She rolled out the old chestnut about blacks being considered "three-fifths" of a human being in our Constitution. Yes, she really did that.
Here's her exchange with a college Republican:
COLLEGE REPUBLICAN: To paint the country as an inherently racist country from its founding I think is dangerous.
REEVE: The three-fifths compromise is written into the Constitution in which slaves are counted as three-fifths of a person.
SCORE!
How can you be in journalism and have no idea what the three-fifths clause means? No research is involved, Elle! Just read it.
The three-fifths clause means exactly the opposite of what Elle thinks it means. This was not a general statement on the slaves' humanity: it was about congressional apportionment. The slave states wanted to count slaves as full "persons" in order to increase the number of their representatives in Congress.
If you adored slavery, you'd want the Constitution to count each slave as a full person—as 20 people! The slaves still couldn't vote, but their slave masters would get more votes in Congress. It's the same idea behind California's demand that illegal aliens be counted when determining that state's congressional apportionment.
I can't even believe there's anyone in America who needed that explained again. (Next time, I'll just say: Get a home-schooler to explain it to you, Elle.)
It must have been embarrassing for everyone at CNN to watch this bimbo misstating well-known facts in a network "special report" that was supposed to show what cretins CRT critics are.
So how did the CNN hosts react? They were gobsmacked by the genius of Elle's report!
JOHN BERMAN: That was so great.
KEILAR: Right?
BERMAN: I mean, that was just so great, and just the way the questions are asked. Just by asking simple questions you revealed so much. I mean, that was just fantastic.
ELLE: Thank you.
My idea of hell is being condescended to by an idiot, forever and ever, with no respite. In other words, watching CNN.

'Fasting from Whiteness': Woke church in Illinois says during Lent it is avoiding music and liturgy created by whitesQuote
'This Lent we build our worship life around the voices of Black people, indigenous people, and people of color.'
A section on the home page of the website of the First United Church of Oak Park bears the headline, "Lent 2022: Fasting From Whiteness."
"For Lent this year, First United is doing a mix of 'giving something up' and 'taking something on.' In our worship services throughout Lent, we will not be using any music or liturgy written or composed by white people. Our music will be drawn from the African American spirituals tradition, from South African freedom songs, from Native American traditions, and many, many more," the website states. "For Lent, it is our prayer that in our spiritual disciplines we may grow as Christians, united in the body of Christ with people of all ages, nations, races, and origins."
Turning Point USA posted a photo of a church sign that bears the headline, "Fasting from Whiteness" — the sign includes the message, "This Lent we build our worship life around the voices of Black people, indigenous people, and people of color."
Don't miss out on content from Dave Rubin free of big tech censorship. Listen to The Rubin Report now.
The church is unabashedly pro-LGBT, declaring on its website, "We welcome lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people into the full life and ministry of the church, including ordination, expecting and encouraging them to share their talents and gifts in the life, liturgy, leadership, and employment positions of our congregation, as our ministers, teachers, members, visitors, and friends."
