“Targeted Universalism” In Your School
After a Critical Race Vanguard took over our local school district, this statement
appeared on the school’s website:

“Equity means giving special focus to certain groups, to better serve those
groups that have been under-represented or under-served. When we focus on
these groups, the whole district benefits (this is ‘Targeted Universalism’).”

What is “Targeted Universalism”?
“Targeted Universalism” is an oxymoron.

“Targeted Universalism” is fancy, alternative jargon for Critical Race Theory’s

“Equity”.

“Equity” means “Equality of Outcome” or simply, Socialism.

Oregon's new "Freedom of Expression” series.

‘racial discrimination’.”

powell’s Writing
Post-racialism Or Targeted Universalism?
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
john a. powell’s OBI writeup on “Targeted Universalism” reads like a Marxist Cult:

“Targeted Universalism” is referred to as “Equity 2.0”.

“Targeted universalism ensures that all groups—and people—achieve the

universal goal.”

“Outcomes, not treatment, is the touchstone.”

“The goal is not, and should never be, equalization of resources, but achieving
the universal goal. In some cases, this will require unequal resource
expenditures.”
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
john a. powell’s OBI writeup on “Targeted Universalism” reads like a Marxist Cult:

“Targeted universalism is both a way to operationalize belonging and create

agendas for aligned transactional and transformative changes.”
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
“One group’s interest is entangled with the
condition and interests of another group.
Through the practice of targeted universalism,
the sentiment that ‘we should all belong’ is built.”
"Targeted Universalism: Equity 2.0"
“In place of the old bourgeois society with its
classes and class antagonisms we shall have an
association in which the free development of
each is the condition for the free
development of all.”
The Communist Manifesto
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
To illustrate the cluelessness of john a. powell’s “Othering & Belonging Institute”
(OBI), the OBI liked this tweet comparing their cult language to that of cult leader
and serial murderer, Charles Manson:

Charles Manson
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
It is fitting that the Critical Race Theorists at the OBI would like a tweet comparing
their ideology to that of Charles Manson. Both Critical Race Theory and Charles
Manson advocate for the intensification of “Race-Consciousness”.
“Targeted Universalism”: A Marxist Cult
“A Case for Race-Consciousness”, Aleinikoff, T. Alexander, “Urges race-
conscious measures to reach racial justice…”

“Race Consciousness”, Peller, Gary, “Depicts the Critical Race Theory

movement as a revival of nationalist perspectives and race consciousness.”

“The Los Angeles County district attorney believed that Manson intended to start
a race war.”
