“Hackademia” took another shot at pushing Marxism as the everything’s racist crowd found fault with white marriages.
As the ideology of Karl Marx was proffered in antithesis to Judeo-Christian society, so too have the zealots who espouse the radical philosophy continued to target the pillars of stability holding it up. For George Mason University College of Education and Human Development associate professor Bethany Letiecq, this included committing to “disrupting, and dismantling White heteropatriarchal supremacy” stemming from marriage.
Letiecq, a white instructor who populates her social media feed with Trump Derangement Syndrome and leftist talking points, pushed her theory on “marriage fundamentalism” in the Journal of Marriage and Family that contended the unions seen as holy to many promoted white supremacy.
“Marriage fundamentalism can be understood as an ideological and cultural phenomenon, where adherents espouse the superiority of the two-parent married family,” the abstract for her paper argued. “But it is also a hidden or unacknowledged structural mechanism of White heteropatriarchal family supremacy that is essential to the reproduction and maintenance of family inequality in the United States.”
***New Article***
Here, I argue that marriage fundamentalism (MF) is a key but hidden logic of White supremacy. To advance intersectional justice, we should consider how MF operates alongside other forms of structural oppression to maintain inequalities.https://t.co/hYJxRFnccJ— Bethany Letiecq (@BethanyLetiecq) February 5, 2024
Describing herself as “a White, cisgender woman … currently living with my partner and co-raising our children in a committed heterosexual union outside the institution of marriage,” Letiecq explained who she drew upon “critical feminist and intersectional frameworks to delineate an overarching orientation to structural oppression and unequal power relations that advantages White heteropatriarchal nuclear families (WHNFs) and marginalizes others as a function of family structure and relationship status.”
As with critical race theorists and other Marxist ideologues, she rooted her theory to colonization as she promoted the idea that “marriage fundamentalism has been instantiated through laws, policies, and practices to unduly advantage WHNFs while simultaneously marginalizing Black, Indigenous, immigrant, mother-headed, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ+) families, among others.”
Naturally, her web of intersectionality concluded, “unless and until we commit to understanding, disrupting, and dismantling White heteropatriarchal supremacy and the ways in which modern iterations of laws, policies, and practices continue to perpetuate it at a structural level, it will remain an enduring feature of American society.”
Combatting her radical theory, University of Virginia sociologist and director of the National Marriage Project Brad Wilcox told The College Fix, “Marriage is an institution that has advanced the common good in many civilizations, from Europe to the Americas, and from Asia to Africa.”
“Marriage benefits children of all racial and ethnic backgrounds,” he added as American Principles Project president Terry Schilling said likewise in telling the outlet the paper “suggests far-left academics are ramping up their attacks on the family, the most important institution in society.”
“Although the social science on the immense benefits of strong, intact families is unimpeachable, this author simply waves them away,” the pro-family group leader stated. “She ignores the extreme harm that has come to minority Americans as a result of family breakdown in their communities.”
Adding to the pushback, social media users spoke their piece in asserting Letiecq was “a horrible person. Hack-ademic trash.”
You’re such a horrible person. Hack-ademic trash

Marriage as a value would be a profound improvement in black communities, but the left’s masters don’t want husbands & fathers to take the place of government so they won’t condone it.

Marriage promotes christianity. It’s not about race to these antichrists, it’s about destroying the christian faith and the natural order of belief in their faith.

If you hate marriage, you are in the thrall of Satan.
