St. Stithians continues to promote Critical Race Theory
Many elite South African schools have followed the American trend of proselytising the the theories related to Race and Gender Theory. Parents are increasingly worried about what amounts to indoctrination for a political agenda.
It is indoctrination because it is not intended to inform about the theories; it is intended to ensure children believe them even though they are highly contested.
Much experience has shown that its teachings on racism actually produce schism and prejudice, instead of diminishing racism. The gender ideology may be worse because it emphatically promotes ideas that many will see not only as counter-intutive but scientifically wrong.
St. Stithians has received considerable criticism for perpetuating these theories. These are theories supporting ideologies that are questionable and should be open to vigorous debate. Why is St. Stithians co-hosting a seminar promoting them? And does it intend to offer an equal opportunity to those who hold contrary views?
