The intellectually shallow waters of the foundations of Critical Race Theory indicate the equally shallow culture we have become. Our having succumbed to such a poorly framed ideology reveals the flaws in the American church, American education, and the American family.
Dr. James Lindsay has a Ph.D. in mathematics and also has a background in physics. He has become one of America's leading experts on Critical Race Theory (CRT). It is his thorough understanding of the subject that makes him very clear on one point: CRT has been weighed and found wanting.
During his visit to Oklahoma, he will be meeting with a number of Oklahoma's political & educational leaders. We are excited that he will be our featured guest this coming Wednesday at the OCPAC luncheon.
|
|
TO INTRODUCE DR. LINDSAY:
10 MINUTES OF EXPLOSIVE POLLING RESULTS
|
|
We are going to have Bill Shapard at OCPAC for a full presentation soon. But, to help lay some groundwork for Dr. Lindsay, we have asked Bill to give us a ten-minute taste of some fascinating polling that is just now available. He pulls the covers off the issue of where the minds of Oklahomans are regarding Critical Theory and its closely related cousins - those headline-grabbing organizations that led the 2020 riots. |

INTRODUCING LUCIA O'CONNOR
The wife of Oklahoma's new Attorney General
JOHN O'CONNOR
|
|
Lucia O'Connor will be with us this week to say hello and speak for a few brief moments about what the new Attorney General hopes to achieve during his tenure.
After Dr. Lindsay finishes, Lucia O'Connor will join the School Boards 4 Kids committee meeting at the Central Oklahoma Home Builders. Thanks to Reed Downey, Chairman of School Boards 4 Kids, for making the invitation.
How important is SB4Kids?
Read this email from one of our constituents in Tulsa. He is a medical doctor who was told this by a teacher in Tulsa (a teacher who also serves on the school board):
Hello Mr. Downey - good evening! Serving on this GOP Committee with you is a tremendous privilege. I would love to learn more about your school board resources. My Board Member told me my concerns with finances of the district were “none of my business.” This board member is a liberal Democrat and feeds the Tulsa Public agenda. Any tips would be wonderful. Hope to hear from you soon.
"School finances are none of your business!"
~Tulsa School Board Member
Join us as we re-educate these school
superintendents and their runaway boards!

Restoring the Mind of America
|
When Samuel Blumenfeld and Alex Newman wrote Crimes of the Educators, they added a subtitle which could very well have been used as a subtitle for Cynical Theories, the book this week’s OCPAC speaker recently wrote.
Blumenfeld and Newman’s subtitle reads: How Utopians are using government schools to destroy America’s children.
This is akin to Dr. James Lindsay’s subtitle: How activist scholarship made everything about race, gender, and identity … and why this harms everybody.
Dr. Lindsay is right. It is as a result of American education that our nation, its people, and its churches are under a vicious assault.
|
Blumenfeld and Newman spoke of it in terms of criminal activity. They documented their charge of public-school treason without much effort.
They simply quoted the April 1983 publication of the National Commission on Excellence in Education.
Its final report, a nation at risk, said: “If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war. As it stands, we have allowed this to happen to ourselves.”
|
"In other words, our educators are engaged
in a deliberate dumbing down of America."
Treason took center stage in 2020 as Cultural Marxist leaders on American soil employed Black Lives Matter, the Democrat Party (and its grip on city governments), and Covid. These were all used to shut down churches and small businesses (and never forget that the large corporations thrived!). In addition, they put the fear of governmental tyranny into the hearts of Americans.
Who would have guessed that the most transforming political movement in America, the 2020 revolution, was ignited by the small ideological sparks created by the writing of little-known members of academia busy re-writing America’s epistemological foundations?
Ideas have profound consequences.
Just read the opening pages of the Word of God!
|
When mathematics PhD, Dr. James Lindsay, began his work to uncover what was behind the insanity of an educational, political, corporate, and entertainment world gone hopelessly mad, he found it was in fact a movement in academia.
The American classroom had become a rudder guiding a revolution.
Politically-minded activists in "higher education" sought to eviscerate from America all the sanity and rationality embedded in Western Civilization (and Christianity).
They claim they are giving cultures considered to be "backward" the justice thought to have been denied them by the politically and economically privileged (white people).
These postmodern political activists contend they are establishing a "hand-up" to America's sub-dominant cultures.
In reality, they only position themselves to the the tyrannical ogres they accuse the dominant culture of being and offer nothing but intellectual, spiritual, moral, and economic poverty.
THE RISE AND TRIUMPH
OF THE MODERN SELF
|
Another academic watchdog is Carl R. Trueman, PhD, University of Aberdeen.
Dr. Trueman has occupied a number of academic posts. He served as Princeton University’s William E. Simon Fellow in Religion and Public Life.
A member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church, he brings classic fundamental theology to bear on the responsibility of the church to shape culture in a God-honoring fashion.
It stands as a companion of Dr. Lindsay’s 2020 publication, Cynical Theories.
He speaks of the way culture has lost any sense of mimesis (fixed universal truth) as it has decayed by means of its having embraced poiesis (an undefined world molded only by the whim of autonomous human beings).
It is as if even our pulpits have caved to the lust of mankind to ascend to ultimate divinity. Without any shame, we have formally embraced an idea first proposed by Lucifer to Eve and later codified by Frederick Nietzsche in his Ubermensch and his concept of the deification of man.
|
As a result, we have become a culture gone mad. As you may know, Nietzsche himself died a madman, spending his final days in a mental asylum.
Speaking of mental asylums, be sure to read what Open the Books discovered last week. (According to the research that $500,000 of your CRT "academic" tax dollars did, fish names are racist. See article below.)
These ideas were birthed in the soil of minds with no foundation other than their own limited reasoning. They have given birth to the 21st century snowflake and the frantic and desperate search for safe places.
The fragility of the American people is the fruit of the fragility of the mind which has not discovered epistemological bedrock. The Bedrock uncovered by the presupposition that the Bible is the Word of God.
Without this presupposition, ultimate authority has vanished from the mind of 21st century man. Morality is turned on its head. The purveyors of objective (Biblical) truth are accused of hate speech with an attached criminality that warrants not only dismissal from employment, but also incarceration.
I'll stop here.
This Wednesday, we will hear from Lucia O'Connor. She and her husband (Attorney General, John O'Connor), stand solidly behind our effort to expose and terminate this war against mankind. She will speak briefly, but profoundly, of what is coming from our new Attorney General.
Her husband, John O'Connor, will be speaking to us in October.
Bill Shapard, founder of Sooner Polls, will get us fired-up this Wednesday by unveiling fresh polling on the perspective of Oklahomans on Critical Theory. In a span of about 10 minutes, he will reveal some surprising results.
Dr. James Lindsay is a fantastic communicator and will give you an understanding of the black cloud that enshrouds what passes for academia.
This will be an important meeting not just for you. Your friends, family, church members, pastor, and every other leader in your community will find a better perspective on the radical de-programming of the American mind.
Let’s get to work and, by the grace of God, see Oklahoma, our sister states, and our nation discover our foundations in the Word of God.

We have work to do.
Please join us!

THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA'S
AGENCIES | BUREAUCRACIES | LEGISLATURE
|
Senator Standridge spoke about the hypocrisy of Oklahoma's education bureaucrats. They seek to force children to be muzzled while they attend meetings un-muzzled and comfortable. Watch our meeting video to see pictures to substantiate! |
Senator Merrick is leading the effort to address the state-wide emergency of mandated vaccines. This must be addressed immediately. Lives of Oklahomans are being ruined.
Below, we continue our call for a special session. Please continue to call every week to the Governor, the Speaker of the House, and the Senate Pro-Temp to ask for this session.
|
Senator Dahm spoke about the way agencies flex their muscles in the face of our lawmakers. He continues to work to end those tactics. He represents the kind of leadership we need in the state as well as in Washington.
Lets pray God would continue to raise up men like Nathan Dahm, Jake Merrick, and Rob Standridge!
We need these kinds of men to represent us on 23rd & Lincoln as well as in Washington!

TWO WEEKS AGO
40 YEAR-OLD CLASSIC
7 minutes with
DR. WILLIAM S. BANOWSKY
|
Dr. William S. Banowsky was one of the most unique Presidents at the University of Oklahoma. He was the charismatic leader who rebuilt Pepperdine University and made it a world-class institution.
When he spoke at the Campus Crusade for Christ Luncheon on April 16, 1979, he presented a classic foundation for the true university.
We presented this at OCPAC on Wednesday, September 8, 2021.
The former O.U. President went to be with the Lord forty years after he spoke to Campus Crusade for Christ in 1979, almost to the day, on April 28, 2019.
Watch the 7-minute Banowsky video here.
|
Why is a PhD in mathematics so concerned about CRT?
Here is the reason he gives:
"It is a malicious form of bullying and – when institutionalized – a kind of authoritarianism."
He goes on to explain that, “These changes are happening with astonishing rapidity and are very difficult to understand. They stem from a very peculiar view of the world – one that speaks its own language. They use everyday words differently from the rest of us."
"These scholar activists speak a specialized language. Intellectually, they are a world away."
THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH POWER
"They are obsessed with power, language, knowledge, and the relationship between them. They interpret the world through a lens that detects power dynamics in every iteration, utterance, and cultural artifact – even when they are not obvious or real.”
UNIVERSAL REALITY REPLACED
“Universal reality was replaced by multiple allegedly equally valid knowledges and truths, constructed by groups of people with shared markers of identity related to their positions in society.
Knowledge, truth, meaning, and morality are therefore, according to postmodernist thinking, culturally constructed and relative products of individual cultures, none of which possesses the necessary tools or terms to evaluate the others.
“Thus, sociopolitical power is the
ultimate determiner of what is true.”
These are only some of the foundational elements of his message. They have established him as one of America's leading experts on the subject of Critical Race Theory.
He closes chapter three with this:
“Their work is of very little practical relevance to people living in previously colonized countries, who are trying to deal with the political and economic aftermath. There is little reason to believe that previously colonized people have any use for a postcolonial Theory or decoloniality that argues that math is a tool of Western imperialism, that sees alphabetical literacy as colonial technology and postcolonial approbation, that views research as the production of meta-texts of colonial knowledge, that confronts France and the United States about their understanding of big black butts."
Come Wednesday to get the full dose!
Then, sign up for School Boards 4 Kids and help us
crush these tyrannical enemies of the human race!

FRANK URBANIC
PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
by Bob Linn
|
2 PM MONDAY, SEPT 20
WHISKEY NIGHTS
1164 N. MacArthur Blvd, OKC, OK 73127
|
Frank Urbanic has become the most vocal attorney to advocate for the people of Oklahoma and the rule of law. In the wake of efforts by the extreme left to destroy small business in America, Frank Urbanic has done more than just fight for the middle-class. He has brought victory to our doorsteps.
He filed and won a lawsuit against the tyranny of the mayor and city counsel of Oklahoma City. He was also victorious in his lawsuit against the city of Guthrie. He has mounted victories against the State of Oklahoma.
There are more victories in his path. He will make a major announcement Monday, September 20 at 2 PM. As you read this, I will be returning from Colorado Springs. However, I'd like a number of you to support him by being in the room to represent OCPAC and School Boards 4 Kids.
He will be a featured speaker at OCPAC soon.
I'll see you all this Wednesday!

CRITICAL RACE THEORY
FISH NAMES ARE RACIST
by Adam Andrzejejewski
August 20, 2021
|
Researchers have turned to fish for their racism studies. Find the study here.
It took $583,652 to determine that calling fish "rough" or "trash" is the product of the dominance of white males in the North American freshwater fishery industry for the past three centuries.
|
These four professors received $583,652 in collective annual salaries.
Here is how it breaks down:
UC Davis paid the two professors a
combined $311,123 in wages (FY2019).
The Oklahoma and Wisconsin professors
were paid a collective $272,529 (FY2020).
All pay records are publicly posted online at OpenTheBooks.com and are the latest year available.
Over the year-and-a-half this study was done, additional research was done by an unpaid professor emeritus at UC Davis, a UC Davis postdoc researcher, a UC Davis PhD candidate, a researcher from the private University of Notre Dame and researcher with the non-profit Nature Conservancy.
The researchers argue that since white males have valued only select types of fish and dominated the management of freshwater fisheries, the native fish faced discrimination. These native fishes, the study says, historically fed Black and Indigenous people of color and immigrants.
There is a “bias against ‘rough fish’ — a pejorative ascribing low-to-zero value for countless native fishes,” the study states. “One product of this bias is that biologists have ironically worked against conservation of diverse fishes for over a century, and these problems persist today.”
These problems include allowing overfishing of native species, which leads to a decline in their population, the study said.

I now plan to articulate more clearly the necessity of vast public engagement in the access of all public documents which tell us what our agencies have been doing on our behalf.
Of course, it is quite obvious we need to restore the integrity of our Oklahoma bureaucracies, and the SA&I office in particular.

ENEMIES WITHIN THE CHURCH
By Bob Linn
|
Pastor Cary Gordon narrates this soon-to-be-released film exposing the Marxist infiltration into America's churches, seminaries, and Christian missionary movements.
Those involved in the film include Trevor Loudon and Curtis Bowers.
|
This film exposes shocking developments throughout the entire breadth of 21st century Christendom. Protestants, Catholics, and the Orthodox church have been infiltrated. Our beloved evangelistic organizations have seen wolves in sheep's clothing rise to the very top.
The head of the Russian Orthodox church is a KGB agent. The Pope is a Marxist. The evangelical church has been deeply penetrated. That penetration goes to the very top of institutions we thought were rock solid. This includes the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), the Southern Baptist Church, the former Campus Crusade for Christ (now, CRU), and many others.
The evidence is iron clad. I was on the staff of Campus Crusade for Christ and worked with founder and President, Dr. Bill Bright. Sadly, I have been made aware that Marxist concepts have become pervasive at their national conferences over the past few years. It is both clear and stunning. Marxist language is now a part of their programs on campuses throughout the nation.
I've also spent many years in the Southern Baptist Church. In addition, my wife and I founded a PCA church in our living room many years ago. In spite of my close relationship with all these institutions, the evidence of their fall from Godliness is overwhelming.
In the near future, I plan to focus on the developments within the organization I once knew as Campus Crusade for Christ.
It is important to expose these enemies who have crept into Christendom. These have entered our Christian institutions in an effort to destroy the Church. The "gospel" they promote will bear no fruit. Marxist ideology mixed with Bible verses will produce neither salvation nor the health, peace, and prosperity of civilizations.
Marxist concepts like social justice, critical race theory and the myths inherent in the concept of "white privilege" are ungodly, contrary to all of the Scriptures, and represent evil and destructive weapons designed to destroy the church, the family, and societies. They are drenched in narcissism and hatred.
These ideas, now permeating most of our seminaries and academic institutions (beginning in elementary school), will soon destroy the nation if we do not expose them for the evil they represent.
|
PLEASE HELP US FINISH THIS PROJECT BY CONTRIBUTING HERE.
$40,000 is needed to complete the film.
Consider the opportunity prayerfully.
Thanks!
