National Review published an article titled: Salvation Army Peddles Critical Race Theory, Urges Members to Confront Their Racism. The article reports in part:
The Salvation Army, the Christian charity famous for its festive collection boxes and volunteers around the holiday season, has adopted the teachings of critical race theory, urging members to actively confront their faith’s historic racism.
In a guidebook titled “Let’s Talk About Racism,” the organization calls Christians to reflect on and rectify their contributions to the social inequities and prejudicial systems that have harmed minorities. Citing its “International Position Statement on Racism,” the organization writes that it “acknowledges with regret, that Salvationists have sometimes shared in the sins of racism and conformed to economic, organisational and social pressures that perpetuate racism.”
An accompanying document created by the Salvation Army’s International Social Justice Commission, called the “Study Guide on Racism,” claims that white people are responsible for “unconscious bias,” an idea promulgated by critical-race-theory advocate Ibram X. Kendi. Kendi argues that white people’s legacy of racism is irredeemable, and that the only remedy is reverse discrimination as a matter of retributive justice to level the societal playing field.
The study guide reads: “The subtle nature of racism is such that people who are not consciously racist easily function with the privileges, empowerment and benefits of the dominant ethnicity, thus unintentionally perpetuating injustice.”
Despite their best intentions and commitment against it, the charity claims, “people can unintentionally and unwittingly perpetuate racial division.”
“For instance, devout Christians who naively use racial epithets or a well-intentioned Sunday School curriculum that only uses white photography and imagery,” the Salvation Army writes.
Toward the end of its guide, the organization presents a glossary of social-justice terms for members’ reference, including ” anti-racist,” “colonizer,” “domestic terrorism,” “fascism,” “inclusion,” “institutional racism,” “micro aggressions,” “systemic racism,” and “whiteness.”

The Blaze also published an article titled Salvation Army goes woke with​ new anti-racist message, asks white donors to apologize for their 'unconscious bias'
Critical Race Theory (CRT) falsely declares that if you are white you are bad because you are inherently racist and if you are black you are a victim of that white racism. CRT’s contention that all white Americans are racist is blatantly bigoted, repugnant to humanity and a disgrace to Judeo-Christian values. Pushing CRT’s racist false doctrine furthers racism, delays real healing, wrongfully damages the self esteem of white people and unjustly instills hate in the hearts of black people toward white people.
It is very alarming to witness the Salvation Army, an organization that is suppose to have its doctrine based on Christian principles, succumb to extreme leftist Critical Race Theory propaganda that is pushed by Marxist Black Lives Matter and other far left groups.
Florida Family Association has prepared an email for you to send to express concern to Salvation Army officials and national advisory board members regarding them pushing the Marxist doctrine of Critical Race Theory.
