Red Guards Here?

The New York Post has a story about a woman who grew up in Mao's China. She likens our "critical race theory/action civics" movement to Mao's Red Guard upheaval. The Post quotes Xi Van Fleet as saying:

Critical race theory has its roots in cultural Marxism — it should have no place in our schools. You are now teaching, training our children, to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history. Growing up in Mao’s China, all of this seems very familiar.

Historians and foreign affairs experts agree the Red Guard movement set China back a generation and destroyed much of their vast cultural patrimony. We don't need its like here.
