"Root Out Racism" is not Critical Race Theory

Many Members Of The Church Are Confused By Those Conflating Root Out Racism with Critical Race Theory The Charge from President Nelson and President Oaks to "Root out racism" and "lead out" against prejudice does not imply support for Critical Race Theory. In fact, looking closely at President Oaks' words since President Nelson made the charge in the October 2020 General Conference, shows just the opposite. Yet many members of the Church and BYU professors make the claim that this important message from our Church leaders is to be carried out through radical leftist ideologies and practices. We need to be able to discern the differences. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Come Follow Me LDS - Genesis 28-33, Jacob Becomes Israel

Jacob Separates from Esau Then Reconciles in a Covenant Theme The story of Genesis 28-33 is told in a covenantal outline. Jacob leaves Esau then reconciles with him in an "embrace", similar to an embrace at the veil. The story seems to use the meaning of the names of the children born to Jacob as anchor points. Jacob and Rachael meet at a well. More trickery. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Canada Moving Toward Minority Report Government?

Trudeau and Canada Move Toward "Pre-Crime" and a Social Credit System When Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act it gave him unprecedented powers as Prime Minister. He was able to circumvent due process and the courts, compel private businesses to assist him, to detain not only the protesters but those who financially and otherwise supported the protests, and to cut them off from the modern economy. Earlier this week he revoked the Emergencies act but he and his administration made it clear that they were going to make some of the provisions "permanent". Then came the re-emergence of Bill C-36. A "pre-crime" bill in the vein of The Minority Report that allows citizens to turn each other in if they think someone may post something online with "unacceptable views" Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

Neal A. Maxwell on Social Justice, Equality, and Secularism

In 1974 Neal A. Maxwell wrote a very applicable and telling article in regards to egalitarianism, equality, and secularism. It should be an anchor and reference for everyone trying to navigate the waters of Critical Race Theory, Critical Social Justice, and our changing institutions as well as parsing out a woke ideology from President Nelson's charge to "root out racism". It is telling that the primary egalitarian and "equality" ideology of the day was Communism/Socialism globally, yet he could have written this article today as it applies directly to the Social Justice movement. Why? Because they are rooted in the same Marxian tenets. They act the same and they will have the same results.

Come Follow Me LDS - Genesis 24-27, The Abrahamic Covenant

The Abrahamic Covenant is covered from Abraham to Isaac to Jacob. The birthright inheritance and the birthright blessing are both representations of Exaltation. Women are represented at wells and are the "throne". Jacob's story of the birthright blessing seems to be couched in Day of Atonement imagery. Website - https://www.cwicmedia.com

But what is happening at BYU is tragic. The professors have conflated the words of the prophets with Critical Social Justice and a radical leftist worldview. The purpose of this episode is awareness.

The Machine Behind the Utah K-12 Gender Policy

There Is A Larger, Woke Machine At Work A careful analysis of the proposed Utah K-12 Gender Policy shows something much larger at work. While offering love, charity, and support to those who are marginalized is noble and necessary, a complete overhaul of the systems of Liberal Democracy and Western Civilization is at hand. As we change these systems we change our culture. As we amplify newly recognized identities through radical, knee-jerk systemic change, we diminish and remove traditional identities such as family members and family as a whole.
