Republican state Rep. Dan Caulkins is calling on the masses to take a united stance against Critical Race Theory (CRT).

In Illinois’ Evanston-Skokie District 65, drama teacher Stacy Deemar recently filed suit in federal court, charging the teachings are divisive and “perpetuate harmful racial stereotypes.”

“It will take more than just one teacher standing up to the radical left who are pushing their agenda in our schools,” Caulkins posted on Facebook. "What are you doing?”

Deemar is being aided in her legal filing by the Southeast Legal Foundation, formed by journalist and activist Christopher Rufo. The legal coalition seeks to get CRT teachings and instruction struck down by the Supreme Court.  

As part of her complaint, Deemar further alleges District 65 school officials divided teachers based on their race and directed teachers to read a book titled “Not my Idea” to their students, according to The DC. In the story, the devil makes a “Contract Binding you to Whiteness” where the main character will receive “stolen land,” “stolen riches,” and “special favors” in return.

The devil in the story later defines whiteness as giving people the license “to mess endlessly with the lives of your friends, neighbors, loved ones, and all fellow humans of COLOR.”

The suit further details how another part of CRT instruction calls on teachers to ask students a series of questions about whiteness starting as early as in Pre-K, and ask Pre-K through second graders: “What is your understanding of whiteness?”

While requesting just $1.00 in damages, Deemar’s suit seeks a declaratory judgment and injunction on CRT teachings.
