and joe, two of the bravest people i've ever met, as well as their families. as well as dr. rodriguez and everyone that worked to help save and improve the quality of life for many people that work at nyu langone medical center. i'm laura ingraham and this is a special edition of the ingraham angle. as we've just come off celebrating america's independence we have to remember the biggest threat to our traditions and institutions are increasingly coming from within. so critical race theory poisoning the highest levels of government corporate bored rooms university and now even our kids schools, they're teaching it there. tonight we're going to hear from parents who are fighting back including a black father who went viral for calling out crt for the evil it i don't go that

it is. also hear from the journalist who exposed the critical race theory movement chris russo as well as the princeton and vanderbilt professor dr. carol swanking. but first the racism gold rush, that's the focus of tonight's first angle. >> because public schools have become cesspools of far left political thought, many parents views don't align and can't afford private or parochial schools rightly feel that their children are trapped. plus many of those private schools are just as bad anyway, if not worse. now, i can't tell you how many parents i run into complain about this dynamic. well, today, former attorney general bill barr delivered one of the most important speeches in recent memory on the dire state of public education in america. >> the state of our public schools is becoming an absurdity that is scarcely to be believed. while an astonishing number of

public schools failed to produce students proficient in basic reading and math, they spare no effort or expense in their drive to instill a radical secular belief system that would only -- that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. >> laura: thus the obvious question. why should we send our tax dollars to schools that end up teaching our kids to hate the country? so by choosing an aggressive secular human focus which is now laced with critical race theory, teachers and administrators have created their own taxpayer funded radicalism. they think they shouldn't answer to anyone outside their own sphere on issues outside curriculum or anything related to life at school. they want complete and total control, no questions asked. well, parents, forget it. be damned. we saw this during covid where

teachers summarily dismissed parents' concerns about remote learning. >> if you're going to call me out, i'm going to [bleep] you up. sorry, that's just me. >> they want to pick on us because they want their baby sitters back. >> laura: baby sitters. and now with the back drop of covid and the death of george floyd the school dictators feel like they have the wind at their back. many eager to embrace critical race theory throughout their curricula in every subject in every aspect of schooling. and all this wokeness costs big bucks for anti american race huck sisters. we learned that schools in montgomery county maryland paid nearly half a million dollars on something called an anti racism audit. and they gave it to a group called the mid atlantic equity consortium which, you know, get this, is funded by your tax

dollars via the department of education. of the $19 million the group has raised since 2001, 17 million is from taxpayer-backed cash. what a scam. so in the past four years, these race hustlers haven't received a single private donation. so in montgomery county, dr. mcknight, she's now the acting superintendent, claimed the anti racist audit would, quote, examine the district's systems, practices and policies that do not create access, opportunities and equitable outcomes for every student's economic and social emotional well-being and would analyze policies and practices and impact staff. let me translate this for you. they're preparing, as are many schools across america, to bring racial propaganda into school subjects, every syllabus and every academic award given out,

they're going to hire scores of rabbit anti americans, for whatever's left of students and faculty. if you're white you're de facto guilty and if you're not white you're given special status and consideration. they call this diversity equity and inclusion, dei. but it's really just plain old racism. here are the types of dei consultants and lectureers hired for the reprogramming. meet loyola mayor mount sharey at water for the school district in california to lecture faculty on anti racism. >> one of the favorite things i like to do in my mull tar counseling class when i walk up there is to race your hand if you're racist. right, race your hand if you're racist and they're all telling the truth but also by the end of this, you know, lecture and discussion you'll understand that you're telling the truth and you're also lying at the

same time. and that's because we have implicit by as ease that you can't tell me that you're not racist. >> i like her two fingers up. now, of course ms. at water's cliche ridden idiot is repeating what she learned in some other seminar. very deep thinking. not quite. but just as dangerous. and things are just as toxic in our university again funded by the taxpayers. last month the higher education board of governor's meeting show cased a pathetic array of race groving buffoons. >> when we teach philosophy we teach the old dead white philosophers and yet there's a lot of people who wrote philosophy besides those individuals. >> i want to stress, i've spoken to students about this and the absence of a diverse curriculum is the absence of affirming your

humanity. our campuses are well underway with implementing the ei training mod wal for students. >> many campuses have it as freshman orientation so it would be required. >> freshman orientation, you have to get the kids early from the moment they step foot on campus just in case their high school didn't set them straight about how racist america really is. the legislature should shut this down. not a single taxpayer dollar state or federal should go toward the promotion of what is a corrosive and racist philosophy. not in k-12 and not in higher education. >> confronting this issue, i think, is the most urgent task for people who are concerned about religious liberty. religious liberty is not safe in the united states as long as we

have the kinds of public school system we have, the forced monopoly, and the indoctrination of children into these radical secular progressive orthodoxy. >> laura: now barr has it right. he went on to says the solution is to give parents universal school choice where their tax dollars travel with them and they get to choose where to send their kids to school. and while things are dire on college campuses, there are rays of hope. the board of trustees at unc chapel hill struck a note for common sense by revoking a tenure offer to hannah jones the creator of the 619 project. of course in response the race mongers claim the college boards of trustees are themselves racists. well, look, it's all they have. naturally the biden administration is full steam ahead with critical race theory in the schools. the us department of education issued two proposed priorities last month that would direct

federal grant money to projects that, quote, incorporate racially, ethnically cul referral diverse perspective into teaching and learning and literacy skills. come on, this screams boone doggle. but they poked the bear, 20 states attorneys general against any project that characterize the united states as racist or founded on principals of racism or that assign fault blame or by as to a particular race or to an individual because of his or her race. folks, it's my firm belief that democrats will rue the day that they linked arms with the marxists on this issue. i think most suburban women who voted for the decent old joe biden didn't think that this was part of the bargain. and the next time they walk into the voting booth, they're going to have a chance to strike a blow against the racial

industrial complex that wants to wreck america as it robs us blind. and that's the angel >> explosive no expose reveals how teachers in portland oregon are preparing students. now, not to be productive citizens, but to be revolutionaries. ruffo writes the political education programs in portland area districts constitute a training ground for child soldiers. this is not hyperbole. some of the active groups are run by teen-agers and dozens arrested in last year's violent. here's portland wroght last summer. warning this is graphic. >> stop. >> not sitting my [bleep] down. >> get them out of here [bleep].

[bleep]. >> laura: the person you saw kicking the victim in the head was 14. joining me now chris, contributing educator at city journal. chris even though portland is about as far left as any major city could get, why should every american be concerned across the country about the indoctrination about the schools going on there? >> well, portland area schools have adopted a new philosophy called the press, originally a marxist theory that came from brazil as one of the key teaching frame works and students are being told that they need to achieve critical consciousness about their own oppression and the education system needs to be reoriented towards achieving liberation, achieving revolution and you see it in every facet of the schooling. and what's most important and most damning is that not only were many children arrested during those riots but actually many portland public school teachers were arrested and through my reporting i've shown

some of these teachers despite being arrested for violent riots are still employed by the district. they've doubled and tripled down on revolutionary rhetoric and that's what they're pushing can to the youngest people in our society. >> laura: meanwhile if you ate a hotdog near the capitol on january 6th you could be in console carry confinement. exaggeration but there's a program called tech smart to help improve literacy for students in kindergarten through fifth grade and i want to show video you obtained of one of the coaches teaching these students. >> justice fighters, you may have heard some things in the news about people protesting and injustices in our country. you've trained for this moment all year. the fight for justice. now is the time to show that you will fight for justice. >> laura: chris, what does this

have to do with improving literacy? >> yeah. it doesn't. but what you've seen is the bureaucracy has been idol iced and she has been told the students to be justice fighters and get out in the street and fight along with the protesters in portland and this same teachers according to witnesses who observed it also engaged in essentially george or well's two minute hate program in this public school they allowed minority teachers to berate white teachers for 90 seconds in a kind of display of public apology for your whiteness. these are the kind of things that are happening within institutions. i have the documents. i have the videos. and if you're not in your school district now, they're pushing to put it everywhere in the coming years. >> laura: yeah, chris, this is a video you say was sloane to third grade students at the

beaver ton school district just outside of portland. >> one of the most freeing things that white people can do or non-poc people, actually any human being on the planet can do right now is to just say, of course i'm racist. what happens when i say of course i'm racist is what it does is it says, oh, this is not a personal or morale failing, this is not because i'm a bad person, this is not because i'm some evil terrible being it's because it's the structure of the society i've been emersed in. >> laura: eight and nine years old have been told it's a racist country and they're racist. really quick chris. >> i spoke from a woman from iran saying she grew up chanting death to america before school and she told me what's happening the indoctrination of her child in beaver ton public schools reminds her of what was happening back in iran. they're end asking up these red flares to warn us what's happening in the schools should terrify all americans and i hope that we can come together and push back.

>> laura: well, none of these people should be employed as teachers period. they should all lose their job. will they? chris thank you >> coming up from coast to coast parents are rising up against critical race theory that is infecting their kids' schools. first we're going to expose the toxic curricula being taught then we're going to hear from parents fighting back. don't go away. i am robert strickler. i've been involved in communications in the media for 45 years. i've been taking prevagen on a regular basis for at least eight years. for me, the greatest benefit over the years has been that prevagen seems to help me recall things and also think more clearly. and i enthusiastically recommend prevagen. it has helped me an awful lot. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

america. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪♪ >> laura: mr. markowitz, eighth grade algebra, 11th grade russia, ms. joba spanish, mr. vartulli, chemistry, mrs. martin, oh, she was great, human physiology. mr. buccas taught government. these are some of the outstanding teachers i had while in the public schools in connecticut. i feel so grateful. i think a couple times a week at least i feel so blessed to have been taught by them and to have gotten to know them. these were men and women who took their jobs very seriously. they were tough but fair. they were rigorous, but also

accessible. middle class families like mine made up i think most of the student body. the rich kids, they had, for the most part, no reason to go to private schools since the public schools were so great. the town's board of education back then was pretty responsive to the concerns of tax paying parents and the pta was well run and generally very well respected. i don't recall ever hearing my teachers talk about politics, let alone pushing their opinions on us. boy, have things changed. today, led by radicals running the nea and the aft, too many teachers either don't want to be in the classroom at all, or when they are in the classroom they're advancing poison us views about our founding, our history and traditional family values. increasingly, critical race theory infects not only the teaching of american history but the core discipline, even math and science, and how they're

taught. >> along with our curriculum, so we want to talk about all the other things, the components that will create an anti racist school system we have to look at it systemically. >> let's put it out there and address systemic racism. >> racism has to begin by holding up a mirror and taking a hard look at your baez ease. >> sean: more parents are realizing is itself racist. i'll say it again, is itself racist. that white people are guilty and harbor unconscious by as. even if you don't have children in public schools, this should matter to you, your tax dollars keep the lights on and the teachers paid. we spend, on average, nearly i think $13,000 per pupil in the public school system annually,

according to the census bureau. but most busy parents, they don't know that they're also paying the salaries of school board members like insufferable left wing blow hard and falls church school board member philip rightinger. >> i feel the need to help change our course and do more for diversity and inclusion. we need to fight inequality and racism with action. we need, as we are, to reform curriculum. we need to pursue, as we are, a diversity equity and inclusion policy for our schools that unites us and specifies further action. >> laura: the only further action needed is to run that guy off the school board. i wouldn't rely on him to change my tire let alone change my kids' curriculum. are you kidding? think about how sick this is. children have been learning at home for now almost a year in places like falls church. and what they obsess about is

trump and how racist and rotten america is. but where's the market for this? i don't believe there is a community anywhere in the entire country, outside of maybe washington, dc, new york, la, where the parents are saying, well, we hate this country and we want you teachers to teach our kids to hate this country, too. but radical teachers and consultants, they not only don't listen to parents who raise objections, they viciously attack them. courtesy of the daily wire, we learned nah in louden county, virginia, they actually created a black list, i thought you couldn't say that anymore, of parents who oppose critical race theory. members of the anti racist facebook group sprang into action listing dozens of parents often including where they live, their employers or their spouse's names. avoiding these people isn't enough to stop the spread of their evil rhetoric. again, the language of

punishment is what they use. now, remember, these are the people molding your children in their formative years. hillary the former teacher at potomac high school and now a paid education consultant for the district is spending her time plotting against district parents. regarding the anti crt movement, critical race theory movement, we would like to compile a document of all known actors and supporters. please comment below with legal names of these individuals, area of residence and/or school board known, known accounts of social media, and any other info you feel is relevant. of every single one of these teachers and consultants should be terminated immediately. defaming those who pay your salaries? threatening to dox them. i have a question can any other employees get away with doing

that to their customers parents have to do more than just post on social media and talk amongst themselves about all of this. they must start to form mass movements to take back our education system, demand hearings on the state and the federal level. don't just show up at school board meetings. run for school board. any school that is teaching our kids to hate america should be denied funding period. want to know who gets this? ron desantis gets it. >> florida civics curriculum on corporate foundational concepts with the best materials and it will expressly exclude unsanctioned narratives. let me be clear. there's no room in our classrooms for things like critical race theory, teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money.

>> laura: bravo. now, can you imagine if there was a public school somewhere in the country where kids were taught not to blame the south for the civil war? or that giving the women the right to vote was a mistake. everyone would rightly demand an immediate stop to this. i know, many conservatives you're watching you're saying, oh, just forget about the public schools, push for vouchers. we love vouchers and the fight for vouchers but that's a mistake. because on too many oh is cas we've just picked up and left major institutions and that just resulted in moving them further to the left. now case in point, conservatives are an endangered species at our universities and look at what that's accomplished. anyone over the age of about 35, maybe 30, they know that you can have public schools in america where peopleical people can get a good education without indoctrination. we had those schools no most of

our history. massachusetts native who are ras man is considered the father of education. he believed public schools were essential to preserving our republican. it was a night in 18 41 that he wrote armies, navy, are means of security and defense, but schoolhouses are the republican line of fort fix and if they're dismannedled ignorance and vice will pour in their lesions of every bleach. while the left is already far along in the dismantlement and until we mobilize and take back these school boards we will continue to see the vice and the ignorance pouring out and that's the angle. >> last night we shared video of louden county virginia parents into their school district for pushing critical race theory onto their kids. but what we didn't show you was

the black lives matter protesters showed up to shout those parents down. >> if somebody disagrees with critical race theory you're considered a racist which is really not the case. there's no line of distinction either you're for or against it and if you're against you're automatically a racist. and that's not doing society any good. >> that's exactlyning us now aro fighting against critical race theory for our schools, fight or our schools and nicky neely parent and founder of parents defending education. ian let's start with you you spoke at that news conference. so what happened after the blm crew, it wasn't all that big but they showed up. but what happened. >> there was about four of them, local blm activists we refer to them as chardonnay antifa but as we were about to start our press conference these folks came in with their banner and physically occupied our space we set up to conduct the press conference and then when the parents, and these

parents are dead indicated parents that have been working every day all day to go out there and get petitions to recall this school board and when they started speaking, these folks, they didn't want to hear from them. all they wanted to do was disrupt, continually interrupt, harass them and call them racist. now eventually we were able to get the press conference going and then when we were done, with the exception of one individual, all the rest of them just left. you know, they didn't take the time to talk to the press or take the time to put their views out there. all they want to do is is disrupt and silence the opposition as they say. >> laura: now nicky what do you think would have happened if you tried that little routine with the black lives matter press conference? >> oh, we would be all over the main stream media for starters. >> laura: yeah. >> which strangely it's weird to find the washington post and a lot of these other dc outlets not covering this. it's just a total mystery to me. >> laura: democrat candidate for virginia lieutenant governor debated la of night and they did touch on critical race theory,

specifically your county. sean perryman said critical race theory is not even being taught in our schools, it's a republican dog whistle meaning racist where anything they disagree with is critical race theory. ian is that true? they claim it's not even present, not even a factor. >> that's absolutely nonsense. we have actually invoices from the equity collaborative in california to louden county public schools in virginia where they say teaching teachers and coaching teachers on critical race theory. they talk about culturally responsive training, you don't have to spend too much time on google to put those terms in to understand cultural responsive learning is the tool to implement critical race theory concepts. they are trying to gas light. they realize they are on the losing end of this debate and trying to explain. you know the thing, when you're explaining you're losing and we're feeling momentum out in louden county. we have hundreds of parents committed to recalling this school board and giving kids an

education in things like math, science reading typical things you want your kids to learn to succeed in life. >> laura: nicky washington post columnist christine is throughout defending critical race theory saying call for racial accountability can feel like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge your behavior, that of your and is fors can harm others. in icky that's what our children should, especially if they come from other countries, and many of the families in louden county are from other countries, nothing to do with slavery, not even from this country but they're supposed to be steeped in all of this to learn that america is an awful rotten country how is that educating our kids? >> we're supposed to be paying for the since of our fathers. my kids were put in internment camp but i'm not chasing after white people. we can't keep blaming everyone. certainly we can teach better,

but we can't shame and blame people, especially the time in mental health for children who have been out of school for coming on 15 months at this point to tell them they're bad people because of the color of their skin and characteristics it's sick emotional abuse and that's why we see people around the country standing up like ian's doing and other people around the country. >> laura: it takes gusts. both of you, it takes courage and your being on this show tonight and your doing what you're doing every day on this issue, you're inspiring people across the country and this movement is growing and we're going to keep covering it. thank you for doing what you're doing >> a father daughter duo went viral for their videos rejecting critical race theory in the black lives matter movement. ahead the father explains why this should be an issue for every parent. stay there.

smart. >> see, this is how children think right here. critical race theory wants to end that. not with my children. it's not going to happen. we need to stop crt, period, point blank. children do not see skin color, man. they love everybody. >> laura: well, that message from cori to his daughter royalty is something every parent should agree on. now, he's just one of many parents across the country against critical race theory and the damage it's doing to our kids in school. cori joins us now. thanks for being with us. why is it so important for you to talk about this issue with your young daughter you? >> well, it goes toward the youth, you know, it goes toward young people you know, i want my daughter to treat people with respect no matter if they're black, white, yellow, brown. like i said in the video, you know, i want people to know that people should be judged by their character and not by their

color. >> laura: there was a moment today on television when eugene robinson of the washington post, he made a point about critical race theory. watch. >> right wings are all a flutter about critical race theory. history has a way of winning. history has a way of making its effects known no meter tries to stop this phenomenon. so we're going to keep telling the truth. >> laura: kory, is this rejection of critical race theory, as he said, a right wing issue only in your view? >> no, absolutely not. you know, i think that anybody who doesn't have in their mind that they want people to be judged, you know, by just your race or your color or your creed, nationality, you know, i think that goes through all

spectrums, you know, liberal, democrat, right, left, it doesn't matter. >> laura: well, then some schools in the washington, dc area, kory, they're actually having these race holes or surveys. some consulting group comes in to tell everybody how racist they are even if they don't think they are, of course they are. and so the white kids have to separate into one group and then the black kids, the people of color, separate not other groups and they have to do different workshops and the white kids have to do the workshop where they apologize and examine their racism. what about that approach to teaching and education? >> why are we going backwards in america? are we trying to go back to jim crow? we're going back to segregation. we need to be moving forward. we need to be teaching people there's no difference between if you're white or black. why is that so hard for some of these people that are implementing these people in

schools? i don't understand. it's so racist. it is so racist. >> laura: well, the point they're making is america is systemically racist to her core and because america's systemically racist, everything has to be taught through that lens to prevent further corrosion of our country. >> well, frederick douglass said that the constitution is a glorious liberty document. and i believe the same thing. and that, you know, frederick douglass and martin luther king believed we were systemically racist and there was no way that we could change, then i don't think that they would have fought as hard as they did to change. they knew we had something called the constitution, right? and it's for liberty of all men, right? and all races and all creeds. so --. >> laura: kory this interview is going to be seen by a lot of people but your viral video was awesome thank you so much for joining us. coming up we're going to

show you how the left is even brain washing the youngest of our kids. former princeton and vanderbilt professor carol swain is here next. and you need it here. and here. and here. which is why the scientific expertise that helps operating rooms stay clean is now helping the places you go every day too. seek a commitment to clean. look for the ecolab science certified seal.

>> other than providing public funding for basic education, the other purpose of it was to

effectuate the melting pot. to instill a sense of common identity to promote a solidarity among students as american. but now the schools have taken the opposite mission, of separating us. of teaching unbridgeable differences. of dividing us into many different identities destined to be antagonistic. if that's the purpose of education now, to drive us, to separate us from each other, to drive us apart, then why shouldn't we have diverse school system? >> laura: former trump attorney general bill barr does ask the right question. why should we send our tax dollars to schools that end of teaching our kids to hate each other and hate the country? here's what barr is talking about. this is a video used in schools across the country meant to soften the blm riots as we saw

last summer as we see it packaged in this kind of harmless cartoonish fashion meant to kind of ennewer kids into the structural methods. >> a built in system of bias that makes life easier for white people and more difficult for black people and people of color. black men are killed by police at more than twice the rate of white men. like on may 25, 2020. that's when a black man named george floyd died in minneapolis minnesota. the demonstrations aren't only about mr. floyd, they're about a pattern of violence against black people and a tendency for our suffering to go unnoticed. >> laura: now, that video is being shown across elementary schools in the united states, even in red states. but parents are standing up to this racial bullying and misrepresentation. here's one father, palm beach county, florida. and it was just this week and he was reacting to the video we

just showed you. >> it's completely inappropriate material for those kids and it's a socio political message. my message you to is stay the hell out of my living room. okay? that's my place. if i want to talk about current events me and my wife can impart any guidance we want to, that's our place and our line, stay in your lane. 40 minutes of the first training mod wal all about skin color, skin color, skin color, race. are we not past this crap as a society? unbelievable. i'm telling you right now, if you support this ideology, this philosophy where skin color and group identity matters more than the substance of the individual, you are a racist, okay? shake your head. i'm seeing you shake your head. i'm saying it to your face. i'm calling you a racist if this is what you believe. >> laura: okay. that guy's amazing me. joining me now from florida is

dr. carol swain former princeton and vanderbilt professor. carol are we finally seeing a tipping point where parents take notice and start getting involved? >> i believe so. all across the country, as parents learn more about critical race theory and the forms it takes, i mean, innocent words that we all thought we knew the meaning of have been changed. and so when the left talks about equity, they're not talking about equal opportunity. they have rejected color blindness. they have cancelled america. and we are fortunate now that parents are understanding the destructiveness of the critical race theory agenda that takes away from academic learning. they're becoming more confident about standing up and pushing back. >> laura: well, dr. swain, it's not just dads speaking out, moms are, too. >> yes.

>> laura: and there was another parent who spoke out at this event slamming the district over its priorities. >> you all have your way while you were teaching students how to be mindless robots in a box of conformity. it is time for all to relearn and teach our children how proud, the us constitution, the florida constitution, our bill of rights and declaration of independence are. >> laura: our founding documents, carol. if those are determined to be, by the left, systemically racist, than what is america? america's an illegitimate country. that's where we're headed next. >> well, i can tell you that the founding documents, and our constitution, our civil rights laws, with the equal protection clause and the civil rights clause bans discrimination against anyone on account of their race, including white people. and we need to keep resisting

critical race theory by pointing out that it is unamerican, it runs counter to civil rights laws, the equal protection clause. it involves bullying and shaming people because of the color of their skin. that's not something we should be doing in america. >> laura: final thoughts when we return.

>> laura: i want to end with something my old boss ronald reagan once had. freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from that that warning proved all too prescient. we have to stand up, we have to stand up for this country that we love. we certainly can let our kids and our grandchildren be taught that we are a horrible, awful, racist place that's really irredeemable. this is a country that is unlike any other. it is special because of our freedom. and our history, sometimes complicated, it still amazing.
