Don’t let protesters overrun America’s institutions

Published June 8, 2020 4:35pm ET



The whole problem with the notion of institutional racism (a concept born of the post-Marxist ideology of critical race theory) is that it assumes that institutions have feelings and are sentient. An institution has no emotions — nor does it think. It is an entity. A thing. It has no heart, no will, no focus, no brain. It is merely infrastructure. A tool for people.

It is people who act, not institutions. If one observes racism, one would never condemn the building in which the person lives or works as being racist because that would be nonsensical. Rather, one would condemn the person’s ideas, words, or acts as being unjust and racist.
