HECK, THEY CAN'T FACE BEING REPLACED BY THEIR OWN KIDS::

"We get some of the grossest telephone messages that you can imagine...Some of the stuff is hard to believe. It's full of venom," Delgado said. The University of Alabama law professor is the co-author -- with his wife, Jean Stefancic -- of several books on critical race theory.

The 82-year-old scholar says the messages accuse him of eating children, wanting to destroy the U.S., and hating white people. (Delgado is Mexican American; Stefancic is white). [...]

He blamed the new anger over critical race theory on those who are upset over former President Donald Trump's loss in 2020 and the nation's changing racial demographics.

The pandemic also played a role, Delgado said, since parents were forced to talk to their children and found out during the Black Lives Matter protests their children held more progressive views on race.

"Parent lost it. They blamed the teachers for indoctrinating their kids, even though the kids are growing up in a more diverse world."
