Ban Critical Race Theory Marxism at Loyola Academy
Let God, the Level Playing Field, and Free Debate Reign at Our School
A Proposal for Reform: The God-Is-King Mandate
This is post five-of-six in a series explaining Critical Race Theory and its replacement of the Catholic religion at Loyola Academy, a Jesuit high school, in Wilmette, Illinois. Today’s post, an open letter to the chairman of the school’s board, summarizes all of the previous work in the series and outlines reforms required to oppose Critical Race Theory.

Dear Mr. Walsh,
The leaders, and many teachers, at Loyola Academy are lost souls. They are a danger to the students. To guide the school away from cruelty and deceit, and vicious plans, the school must restate and rebuild its commitment to the love of God. You are the person who must lead this change, or you must find the person who is capable of this difficult mission.
Loyola Academy, in the reforms it must undertake, should return God to the central place in the life of its students and teachers. Prayer, mass, reading the Bible, and good works should be a part of every day of life at Loyola Academy. The love of the Catholic Church should be a part of every day of life at Loyola Academy. The love of God should define every day at Loyola Academy.
Young Catholics need practice to learn their faith, just as they need practice to learn any skill. You teach Catholicism by practicing Catholicism. Whenever it was that the basic and necessary practices of the Catholic faith were cut out, the change was a tragic mistake. Generations of students at Loyola Academy have been led away from God and the church. They have been taught, as I was 40 years ago, that the choice of faith is something they should decide when they are adults. Yet for all of history children are taught what their parents believe. Catholic parents of Catholic children go to Catholic schools where Catholic teachers show them how to live like Catholics. This is true when the world is sane.
The old theory of the Jesuits saying that the choice of religion should be an adult decision sounds defensible. The practical consequence is a mass conversion to loss of faith, a common outcome of a Loyola education. The loss of faith is, in my opinion, the aspiration of the Jesuits.
A newer more destructive path into faithlessness at Loyola describes the theology teachers as dedicated Marxists running under the street name “Progressive.” They preach the commandment of “social justice.” Their bible is Critical Race Theory Marxism. The original sin is systemic racism. If that is true, and if it is true that Marxism is the antithesis of Catholicism, and if it is true that Marxism is the highest form of evil yet conceived by man, then Loyola and the Jesuits have made a fundamental break with God.
If all of this is true, and I believe it is, then Loyola Academy is not Catholic.
We should judge the Jesuits on the consequences of their actions. The loss of faith is overwhelmingly common among graduates. Hatred and contempt for the church are more likely than not. This derives from an obvious source: the malevolent atheism of the Jesuits.
We should return Loyola to the Catholic faith. We should dedicate our school to forming God’s warriors. The return requires a broad condemnation of the Jesuits’ pretense to belief. An ambitious leader wedded to Catholic faith would seek a separation of Loyola Academy and the Jesuits.
In an open and inspiring expression of God’s love, to address a defining issue of the day which has a deep impact on school life, the board must boldly and confidently state and confirm its unwavering commitment to the principles of a colorblind society. I ask you to lead the board to affirm and champion a level playing field at our school and in American society.
All persons of any race must be treated at Loyola Academy as God’s children. Every teacher and student and administrator are the same in that they are unique, not based upon the color of their skin, but they are unique based upon the gift of life and special purpose which God has given to each of them. We are all, individually, made in the image of God. We cannot be judged by or reduced to our skin color or our sex.
The board must affirm that Martin Luther King is not a white supremacist or a systemic racist, as he is described in Critical Race Theory, and as is taught through the work of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The board must confirm that the civil rights movement fulfilled the unequaled promise of the American founding. Every American citizen can demand equal rights and equal freedoms.
The civil war and the civil rights movement perfected the original aspirations of the founding fathers. Their thinking brought to life the greatest government in the history of the world. We have a government dedicated to the rights of the individual. We are free from the dictates of a king. We are free from the violent demands of a mob. We are free to answer to ourselves. We are free, if we choose, to serve God.
In upholding our love of God, and in affirming the unique gift and purpose of each and every student, and in dedicating our life to a free-and-fair and level playing field for all, we must cancel and end all of the work of Critical Race Theory at Loyola Academy. It is, among its multitude of evils, a perfect expression of hatred for the level playing field. If we embrace and champion a level playing field, Critical Race Theory must be expelled. While it reigns at Loyola, and while Diversity, Equity and Inclusion reigns at Loyola, and while Black Lives Matter reigns at Loyola, it is not a Catholic school. It is a Marxist church, driven by unconscious hatred, in the disguise of a Catholic school.
Critical Race Theory, best summarized as Race War Marxism, seeks to abolish capitalism and the constitution by use of a race war. The class war under the old Marxism is replaced with a race war, but both forms of Marxism work towards the same end -- revolution. The race war has been initiated into its first stage through the demonization of the white race. The purpose of the demonization is to bring about the revolutionary goal where every citizen enjoys equal wealth and status. This was called the classless society under the old Marxism, but now goes by the name of “equity” to hide its Marxist nature.
Critical Race Theory says whites oppose equity to maintain their white privilege and to guarantee their racist commitment to white supremacy. Those who support America as founded, probably 95% of Americans, should understand that the goal of Critical Race Theory is to fundamentally attack the basic freedom which says a person owns what they have earned through their work. If you insist you own what you have earned, you are by definition a racist oppressing minorities.
This Critical Race Theory religion, obsessed with dividing us into groups against each other, is dedicated to overturning America as founded. It is committed to an economic system whose signature output, by the historical record of Marxist societies, is state bankruptcy, systemic poverty, and the murder of citizens. This freakish religion must be condemned and expelled, or Loyola Academy students will be a plague. They will spread a deadly disease wherever they go. They will be made by our school into malignant preachers of hatred.
Consider the education of a Critical Race Theory student. Their indoctrination requires “teaching whites from childhood that they’re collectively guilty of past crimes and generally inferior,”[1] according to Professor Jason Hill, who teaches in the philosophy department at DePaul University. He has been studying Critical Race Theory for 25 years, and is its most forceful critic. The theory requires teachers to “annihilate the souls”[2] of white students. Teachers must employ against white students “a protracted process of induced guilt, shame, embarrassment, and extortion.”[3] Teachers of Critical Race Theory must “morally paralyze”[4] white children with shame; a shame which they cannot expel except by renouncing their whiteness and identifying as a member of an oppressed group.
Lost young white girls, for example, may choose to escape their whiteness by identifying as male. They will take on a transgender identification and give themselves a high social standing, and free themselves of their white history. While they may gain social acceptance, they will radically undermine a basic factual truth of their life. Who can honestly pretend that a troubled teenager will find their true purpose by pretending they have changed their sex?
The brutal self-abnegation of children sought by Critical Race Theory teachers clarifies the brutal dishonesty of Father McGrath, the former president of Loyola Academy. He could not even admit that Critical Race Theory requires children to apologize for their race, when it requires apology as a beginning step toward the middle step of complete self-hatred and then ends in the final step of conversion to Marxism. "Let me be clear,” Fr. McGrath said. “We have never -- and will never -- ask students to apologize for their race.” The truth under Critical Race Theory is that students will apologize for their race. Students will denounce their race. Students will abandon their race. They will seek an identity which cancels their race.
Critical Race Theory, as Father McGrath should have explained to you and the board and every Loyola parent and student and teacher, seeks to “abolish the white race by any means necessary,”[5] according to the Critical Race Theory philosopher Noel Ignatiev, because “treason to whiteness is loyalty to humanity.”[6] Critical Race Theory says “the fight against white supremacy becomes the central immediate task”[7] for a dedicated believer.
When loyalty to “white supremacy is eliminated as a force within the working class, the decks will be cleared for action … against its enemy."[8] The enemy, under Critical Race Theory, is America. The enemy is the constitution. The enemy is capitalism. The enemy includes all the pillars of American society. The enemy is the family. The enemy is God. The Marxists will defeat all of these enemies by deforming their students into weak mindless adherents lost in this world except when protesting anything and everything.
An equity-driven society ruled by Critical Race Theory practitioners would correct the racism white “ancestors inflicted upon a competitor race.”[9] The correction is made by redistributing equal wealth and status to all. The new Marxist leaders can only impose equity with totalitarian powers. Those powers will not be freely given by tens of millions of Americans, who think of their house and their car and their bank account as their own. So Critical Race Theory Marxism, if it continues to amass power, leads us into civil war, while it pretends to be a simple and virtuous affirmative action program.
Everything good in life must be destroyed to overturn white supremacy, patriarchy, and capitalist oppression. This is the new religion Father McGrath introduced at Loyola, and which you must now support or oppose. This decision will define your board tenure and your public legacy. It will be the most consequential decision of your life, even if, as I expect, you make your choice with an answer of silence and a policy of accommodation. My expectation is that you will provide a leadership by cowardice. This has been the norm now at Loyola Academy for decades. Cowardice is the leadership practice at all the institutions which have surrendered to Critical Race Theory Marxism.
We have witnessed Loyola’s commitment to the race war and the Marxism of Critical Race Theory and the systemic racist prejudice of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The school has demonized white students based upon their race through the teaching of Peter Jansen, who required students to answer this question: “How do you benefit from white privilege, and how have you held onto that benefit (despite knowing the harm it does)?[10] The school has promised to force out of work any teacher who objects to Critical Race Theory.[11] The school has promised to hire only teachers who believe in Critical Race Theory. The school has committed to making race a primary factor in hiring teachers and administrators.[12] This commitment is in direct opposition to the legal framework which lawful hiring should follow and violates basic principles of fairness.
Loyola has advocated for the end of whiteness, which is described as the central problem in American life, according to the guest lecturer Jacqueline Battalora. [13] Loyola has taught that all whites are sociopathic. [14] Loyola, through its guest lecturer David Stovall, has said America is living under the pandemics of capitalism and white supremacy.[15] Loyola has taught that whiteness is “genocide, slavery, and wrongful land appropriation.”[16] These are all religious precepts of devotion to Critical Race Theory Marxism (For a detailed listing of the evidence of the use of Critical Race Theory at Loyola Academy, please see “Race-War Marxism Invades Loyola Academy".). They have all been taught to Loyola students.
As Critical Race Theory and its public face, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, gain momentum in the years ahead, students at Loyola will be taught that the highest form of racism is the level playing field won by Martin Luther King. Color blindness and civil rights and equality of opportunity and the level playing field will be described as “the epitome of racism.”[17] “The most threatening racist movement,” wrote Ibram Kendi, a leader in the Critical Race Theory movement, “is … the regular American's drive for a 'race-neutral' one.” [18] The “language of color blindness—like the language of ‘not racist’—is a mask to hide racism,” Kendi wrote in How to Be an Antiracist.[19]
The greatest legislative achievement in America, equality for all, and paid in a river of blood by the civil war, is now an act of white supremacy. Students will learn to hate equality under the law. They will learn to love breaking the law guaranteeing equal rights. “Social justice” will require them to hate dedication to a level playing field.
The current influence of Critical Race Theory is, by far, the greatest threat the school and its students have ever faced in its history. The same is true for our country. We cannot tolerate at Loyola Academy those who seek hatred of all whites to encourage the destruction of America and the constitution, and who do so behind the disguise of an innocent program of affirmative action called Diversity, Equity and Inclusion.
To understand the changes Loyola Academy can expect in the years ahead, consider the fate of one individual working in a major corporation ruled by Critical Race Theory Marxism and Diversity Equity and Inclusion.
Zac Kriegman was the director of data science at Thomson Reuters, one of the biggest news organizations in the world, which has an audience of one billion every day.[20]
Mr. Kriegman, whose job was to apply new machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms to news data, analyzed the numbers on Black Lives Matter. He was the resident guru on math and numbers at Reuters. The Black Lives Matter theory says that racist white cops target blacks for death and murder blacks to satisfy racist animosity. Mr. Kriegman studied the numbers and concluded this central claim was false.
He posted his research[21] to an internal web site at Reuters where controversial matters could be debated and criticized. Among key facts which influenced his findings: Black Americans kill 37 percent of police officers killed on the job and police kill blacks in 34 percent of cases where unarmed suspects are killed by police.[22]
The percentage of blacks who kill police and the percentage of unarmed blacks killed by police are a near-perfect match. While not a proof in itself against the racist-policing theory, these critical numbers suggest police violence against blacks matches the frequency of violent encounters requiring the police to use deadly force.
Black Lives Matter took a different approach to the math in police shootings. They argued that black males represent only six percent of the population, but police kill unarmed black males at almost six times the rate which should be expected from their population size.[23] Why would 34 percent of unarmed suspects killed by police be black males when they are only six percent of the population? This gap proved the racist intent of white police officers. The gap justified the 2020 protests against systemic white racism. The gap created the reason for being for Black Lives Matter.
The data makes sense of the gap and refutes the Black Lives Matter theory. The bottom line is that black males are much more likely to commit crime and so police are much more likely to engage them in a violent encounter.
The propensity of black males to commit murder is in the statistics. Black males are 53% of all homicide offenders when they are just six percent of the population.[24] Young black males (14-17 years of age) commit murder at 10 times the rate of other males in their age group.[25] Young black males are 27 times more likely to kill compared to the average American.[26] All of these statistics suggest the percentage of unarmed blacks killed by police should be higher than 34 percent of all cases.
Unarmed black males are killed by police in numbers disproportionate to their population size but black males commit crime at rates disproportionate to their population size. This basic math and basic logical analysis of black crime are withheld from stories on Black Lives Matter. The racist-police-killing-blacks theory is upheld as valid by suppressing the evidence. Literally tens of millions of Americans believe the Black Lives Matter theory, as do the vast majority of influential writers and broadcasters in Big Media, as do most or all of the “theology” teachers at Loyola Academy.
Far more consequential for protecting black lives, the number of blacks killed in homicides every year is catastrophically high, and the number of blacks killed by police every year is, by comparison, inconsequential.
About 18 unarmed blacks are killed by police every year, but roughly 10,000 blacks are killed in homicides every year.[27] Black males are the killers in nine of ten of the 10,000 black homicides.[28] If we want to save black lives, we must stop blacks killing blacks. The threat of police killing blacks is a gargantuan fiction by a simple recognition of its extreme rarity.
Blacks murdered by black killers is a serious threat to black lives. We have ignored this central issue due to a fiction propounded by The Washington Post. They championed the Black Lives Matter hoax. They went all in on the laughable disproportionate-black-shootings math.
The worldview of Black Lives Matter, that racist cops endanger blacks, that this endangerment is the most consequential existential crisis in the black community, is a fraud and conspiracy theory.
The real world consequences are no hoax. Antifa and Black Lives Matter led billions of dollars of looting and property destruction in the summer 2020 riots. More than 650 protests included violence, assaults on police, vandalism or looting. Two thousand police officers were injured.[29] At least 25 people died in the protests. Over 16,000 rioters were arrested.[30]
Murder has increased dramatically after the May 2020 death of George Floyd. His death served as a central proof that racist white police threaten the lives of all blacks. The defund-the-police movement, a major far-left political-policy initiative, based its argument for “reform” on the Black Lives Matter hoax.
At Reuters, Mr. Kriegman hoped his internal report to his colleagues on Black Lives Matter would start a major correction of false reporting across the entire media universe describing police violence, rioting, defunding of the police, and black homicide. He knew the Black Lives Matter movement stole attention from true danger in the black community. For his efforts to tell the true story on Black Lives Matter, an effort driven by his moral commitment to do his part in making black life safer and better, Thompson Reuters fired Mr. Kriegman.
Critical Race Theory Marxism, and its training arm, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, has, in the case of Thompson Reuters, subverted the company’s dedication to truth; especially the reporting of hard truths. A principled reporter lives to tell hard truths. By firing Mr. Kriegman, it’s hard to imagine how Thompson Reuters could betray itself more completely.
The theory of Critical Race Theory says white police are oppressors, and murderers, of blacks. The theory says the white supremacy of the American patriarchy protects itself by instructing police to kill blacks. In the world of fact, if homicide is a form of oppression, then blacks are the oppressors of blacks. Blacks are the killers of blacks. Blacks are the pervasive danger and threat to black lives.
Should this simple fact be widely known, Critical Race Theory Marxism, where the preeminent fact of life is that whites are the oppressors of blacks, the theory falls like a house of cards. The theory falls deep into the realm of quack conspiracy. The place where it belongs. The problem today is that quack conspiracy believers are running the world.
Mr. Kriegman lost his work and livelihood for telling the truth inside an organization which, by its central purpose and mission, is dedicated to telling hard and difficult truths. Critical Race Theory Marxism ruined the guiding principle, the search for truth, at Thomson Reuters.
In the coming years, if we do not explicitly and openly cancel and end Critical Race Theory Marxism in business, in government, and in schools, the guiding principles of every institution where it rules will be corrupted and thrown away. You will know we have fallen to that place when the entirety of reality will be described as systemic racism.
In the future, we will see people lose more than their job for speaking truthfully. The extremity of totalitarian measures taken against dissidents will ratchet upwards. After being fired, speakers against hard-left state power will have their bank accounts closed and confiscated. In the next advance, those who question Critical Race Theory Marxism will be sent to prison. The full circle of totalitarian governance will be complete, and rule us all, when people like Mr. Kriegman are censored on social media; are fired from their job; have their bank account confiscated; are physically removed from their family and home; are jailed on fabricated charges; and, if judged extreme in their dissent, are executed for their free speech.
This is not baseless speculation. This is the pattern of Marxist history. As many as 250 million citizens of Marxist countries suffered the pain of death for their dissent against the “social justice” state.[31] Marxist murder dwarves the estimated six million Jews killed by Hitler, an unspeakable tragedy which is widely considered among Americans as the greatest atrocity in human history. Marxism makes the Holocaust a minor event, and Marxism is the primary goal of our ruling class.
The Marxist murders of the 20th century foreshadow our present danger in America. The broad ignorance of the murder of the Marxist past testifies to the extreme powers of Big Media to suppress any story. Marxist murder is the biggest story and greatest historic event of the past 100 years. It is very poorly known. And for good reason. If the bloody murder of Marxist’ governments was known, support for the Marxist movement would vanish; meaning Critical Race Theory and the progressive movement would collapse. (For the detailed argument equating the theory and Marxism, please see “Critical Race Theory is Race War Marxism”.)
Racist police killing blacks is not the existential threat in America today. Racism is not our existential threat. Climate change is not our existential threat. These fabricated causes are a diversion. They are a means for the acquisition of power. They are a Trojan horse. They are meant to distract attention from the central failures of the Democratic Party. They are meant to promote chaos. They have many purposes, all of which require a fictitious dishonest narrative.
Critical Race Theory Marxism, or just plain Marxism, is the preeminent existential threat in America today. This religion seeks to end our capitalist constitutional republic dedicated to free-and-fair opportunity for all. It seeks to destroy the level playing field.
The totalitarian mindset which banned truthful reporting at Reuters now controls almost all of major media. Big Media routinely buries stories of the greatest public interest when they undermine left-wing power. The same mindset controls major corporations, and especially Big Tech. Working in concert with major media, Big Tech routinely censors conservative voices and stories which support the conservative view.
The same mind and ideology controls the gargantuan bureaucratic federal state in Washington D.C. The Deep State manages trillions of spending authority. The Deep State governs police, prosecutors, courts, jails, and military forces of uncountable size. They are capable of inflicting extreme deadly force. They could jail tens or hundreds of thousands or millions.
The same Marxist mind controls academia, which defines and shapes the thinking of new leaders. They have begun to adopt a loyalty oath to Critical Race Theory Marxism as a pre-qualification for professors.
The leaders in all of these great fields of power must believe victory is immanent. They must just wait for the right moment to destroy the right, to cancel the constitution, and to seize totalitarian control. Their accumulation of power is breathtaking. The weakness of the conservatives is frightening.
The loyalty oath now spreading through higher education is the same loyalty oath that Principal Terri Jackson said would be imposed at Loyola Academy on all teachers. Her continued employment at Loyola is the most important verification that Critical Race Theory Marxism continues to run the school; even if the open revolutionary machinations of the 2020-21 school year have been forced underground.
Loyola Academy, if it fails to expel Critical Race Theory Marxism from the school, will be creating the future leaders of the totalitarian movement now committed to strangling America and abolishing freedom. It does not matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican. If you ignore this threat, you will be colluding in the creation of a tyranny. You will be advancing an ordinary but fallen state of human affairs, a demeaning state of bondage, and the condition against which the Founders declared revolution. You will be supporting, by inaction, a new age of slavery in America.
My profound fear is that you will do nothing consequential. You will not fight the most consequential battle of our lifetime. You will not even stand up for the level playing field, something you almost surely believe in.
The reforms required at Loyola Academy are simple and radical. Every administrator who supports Critical Race Theory must be fired. The effort to enact Diversity Equity and Inclusion, the training arm of Critical Race Theory, must be closed and ended. The Racism Initiative must be closed. Affirmative action must be cancelled and condemned. All theology teachers who support and advocate for Black Lives Matter, the Marxist street army of Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, must be fired.
All of these ideas and their proponents openly violate the level playing field. The spirit of their religion forbids the consideration of opposing views. They openly violate the spirit of our laws, which guarantees equal rights, and which should legally forbid the use of race or political ideology as a factor for or against admission, hiring, and firing, and should forbid the redistribution of income required to attain the goal of Critical Race Theory, the classless society, now called equity.
Any teacher committed to Marxism in the theology department is committed to the murder of God. It is true even of those teachers who cannot comprehend it or admit it. It is true even of the teachers who call themselves Catholic. It is impossible for a Marxist to call themselves Catholic when their political philosophy is dedicated to the destruction of God and family, and their religion brings to a society slavery, bankruptcy, and murder. God does not want slavery, bankruptcy, and murder for his children. God does not want to abolish the family. God does not seek his own death. Marxism and Catholicism can never fight on the same side.
When Marxist views attain near-monopoly status among teachers, as I believe they have at Loyola, only a committed deceiver could continue to call the school religious or Christian or Catholic. Why then did the Jesuits make Loyola Academy Marxist?
Critical Race Theory Marxism is the perfect vehicle for the Jesuits to attain beatification. They can picture themselves as the holy saviors of the poor, and present that picture to the world, and worship themselves as the author and idol of that heaven. Critical Race Theory Marxism is the perfect vehicle for the Jesuits to give themselves permission to have sex with all of God’s children. There are no rules about sex in the Marxist faith. So Marxism has allowed the Jesuits to transform their order into a sex club with free room, board and spending money. To keep up appearances, they do a little community organizing and mouth commitments to social justice.
Critical Race Theory Marxism is the perfect vehicle for the Jesuits to transform their loyalty from a religion devoted to love and self-sacrifice to a religion devoted to hatred, power, violence and personal desire.
To implement the radical changes required at Loyola, whose extreme corruption derives from decades of cowardly and selfish leaders on the board and at the school, who knew that an ideological monopoly was gaining strength among teachers, who should have anticipated that it would end in the current crisis, who pretended that there was no remedy, and who pretend now that there is no crisis, the board must commit to a 20-year period of conservative leadership at Loyola. A mild remedy after decades of progressive leadership.
The goal should be to make a school which is ideologically balanced between right and left. Both sides of a debate must have sufficient power to oppose each other in a reasonable manner, in the unending competitive quest for truth, which is one of our great purposes here on earth, which is one of the great inventions of the west, and which the Jesuits and the board and the school leaders at Loyola have destroyed by allowing an ideological monopoly among faculty.
Both progressives and conservatives on the board long ago abandoned a fundamental principle. They abandoned the requirement for viewpoint diversity among teachers and administrators. This failure has led now, at least in the theology department, and probably in all the departments, to a school filled with a faculty and staff which can only see, hear, and tolerate one opinion. Those persons who allow only one opinion embody both ignorance and totalitarian enthusiasm. In itself this commitment disqualifies them from leading and teaching in a school committed to open-and-fair argument.
Making my analysis, and your judgment, of present circumstances imperfect is our unacceptable ignorance of the facts. The ideological commitments of teachers and administrators must be known. We cannot manage ideological diversity if we don’t know the ideological commitments of the staff. Simple practices can be put into place to ensure transparency. It would take all of an hour to go from ignorance to near-perfect knowledge with a simple survey of faculty and staff. Without having exact numbers, we know the issue of ideological monopoly is acute in the theology department, as they have broadcast their beliefs, with Black Lives Matter posters displayed in their classrooms, at least in the 2020-21 school year.
A school without viewpoint diversity among teachers is equal to a school without books and classes. It’s agenda is indoctrination, not the hard-won powers of thinking, writing, arguing, and persuading. Marxist indoctrination is Loyola’s future unless you lead a radical change.
I fear you will not have the courage or principles or commitment to pursue reform. I presume you have a private life of wealth and dedication to your family. You would understandably give them highest priority. Is it even possible for you to contemplate the personal sacrifice required for public leadership in a time of upheaval such as the time we live in now?
Race War Marxism, commonly known as Critical Race Theory, is an evil religion. Its evil will be your legacy if you fail to expunge it. You must recognize that a line has been crossed. Think of Critical Race Theory as the moral equivalent of a curriculum leading students to a life in organized crime or professional pornography. You would not allow your child to attend a school where they were taught a life of crime. You would not allow your child to attend a school where they were prepared for work in the porn industry. You would not allow your child to attend a school dedicated to hatred of whites and the overthrow of America and its constitution, and which hides the commitment with unending euphemism. You currently serve as chairman of the board of that school.
If you care about what is right; if you believe in the Catholic Church; if you fear God; if you stand up for basic decency; if you love the American dream; if you believe in a level playing field and a colorblind society; if you believe in open-and-fair argument; then you will condemn Critical Race Theory and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. You will use all of your skills and energy to prevail in their expulsion; first at Loyola, and then, when your victory has been admired, wherever your help is needed.
A simple and gradualist remedy, for the coming years, is to hire conservative teachers until there is a strong competitive mix between left and right. Students and teachers at Loyola should both be devoted to debating and defending all ideologies, both right and left. Even and especially the viewpoints they disagree with. Loyola will create great leaders when it creates great writers and great debaters. A good writer can take any side of an argument and win. He can win based upon fact and logic. We must elevate viewpoint diversity, among administrators and teachers, and in classroom instruction, and in student aspirations, as an unbreakable obligation and sacred principle.
Until the necessary changes are made, I hope parents and students will oppose the current leadership of the school. I ask alumni and parents to end all financial support of Loyola, as has already been promised by a leading contributor. His objections to the ideological retardation of Loyola made him request the removal of the school’s plaque commemorating the generosity of his family. I encourage students and teachers to file written complaints with the school president and the board when they are subjected to racial and political prejudice.
I will assist teachers and students in pursuing litigation against the school for racial and political discrimination. I ask any recent applicants for teaching and administrative positions at Loyola to contact me if they feel they have been denied employment due to any form of discrimination. We will seek to file a formal discrimination suit against the school, similar to the action taken by a teacher in the Evanston public school district.
I ask major donors to initiate litigation against Loyola for fraudulently describing itself as a Catholic school and for soliciting and accepting their money under false pretenses. If alumni-and-parent giving stops, and a sufficient number of legal cases against the school are initiated, and if parents and students object, with phone calls and letters, to the racist hatred of Critical Race Theory Marxism, then all of this together will force out the poison which has spiritually bankrupted Loyola Academy.
My personal effort against Critical Race Theory Marxism at Loyola will not end until all of the reforms described in the God-Is-King Mandate are adopted by the board and put into practice by the school. They seek first to put God at the center of education. The second goal is an open commitment to the level playing field, a commitment that requires the abolition of Critical Race Theory, as the theory seeks the abolition of the level playing field in favor of equity. The third goal of the mandate seeks teachers and administrators of diverse ideological backgrounds. We must hire conservatives until the school achieves an ideological balance. The final goal is a school devoted to the search for truth and the daily practice by every student, in written argument and in spoken debate, of a vigorous defense of one’s position. This requires a sacrosanct commitment to the fair treatment of opposing sides, a righteous commitment outlawed under Critical Race Theory Marxism, which sees itself as the beginning and end, the Alpha and the Omega, and the sum of all knowledge.
The new president, Father Gregory Ostdiek, should make a formal written commitment to the mandate. He must commit to clearing the school of Critical Race Theory; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; affirmative action, Black Lives Matter and all of their proponents and derivatives. If he refuses the commitment; he should be fired. A new leader, committed to ending all the Marxist programs at Loyola, and committed to reintroducing the Catholic faith, must be given the authority to act, with broad authority to hire and fire.
After the mandate is adopted, and the reforms are put into place, the changes will have the side effect of making Loyola Academy an intellectual and spiritual powerhouse. Our students will come to be known for their ability to write, think, and argue. They will therefore have critical powers required for any true leader. They will boldly venture forward to serve in the four corners of the world. They will be made strong by the privilege and power of loving God with all of their heart, all of their mind and all of their soul. They will be made unbreakable by virtue of the incomparable privilege they will carry within them – God’s love for each and every one of his children.
I pray you will find the intelligence, the independence, the principles, and the courage to lead Loyola Academy away from the vile hatred and ruthless sociopathic goal of Critical Race Theory Marxism. Lead our children back to reverence for America. Teach them to pledge allegiance to our great country. Lead our children back to love of their parents. Teach them to honor their mother and father. Lead our children, by your courageous example, into the heavenly power of serving God.
I speak for the great glory of He who is most high. I speak by the power of the Father and his Son. The Holy Spirit writes my words. My guide is unlimited awe. I am filled, far past measurement, by the grandeur of God’s final victory, glorious and unending, now and forever.
God has only one commandment for us now, Mr. Walsh. Fight, crush and destroy the leaders of evil. They are all around you, but you must open your eyes to see.

The God-Is-King Mandate is summarized in this essay. This essay is part five of a six-part series explaining Critical Race Theory. The mandate outlines reforms proposed for Loyola Academy, a Jesuit high school, in Wilmette, Illinois. The mandate is available for review here.
Michael David White, the author, is editor of the The Right Track Magazine.
Previous essays in the six-part series: Post #1 in the series described broad assumptions of Critical Race Theory and the efforts of the Jesuit president to cover up its use at Loyola (What I ask of you, Fr. McGrath). Post #2 provides a summary of Critical Race Theory (Critical Race Theory is Race War Marxism). The third post described evidence of the use of Critical Race Theory at Loyola Academy (Race War Marxism Invades Loyola Academy). Post #4 describes the horrors of the Marxist religion (A Short Summary of Marxist Methods and Murders). Today’s post summarizes all of the previous work and proposes a solution to the Critical Race Theory crisis (Ban Critical Race Theory Marxism at Loyola Academy).
