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 l laura: this is a special edition of the ingraham angle. as we celebrate america's independence we have to remember the biggest threat to our traditions and institutions are increasingly coming from within. critical race theory poisoning the highest levels of government, corporate board rooms, universities and even our kids tools. we are going to hear from parents who are fighting back including a black father who went viral for calling out crt

for the evil ideology it is. we will hear from the journalists who exposed the critical race theory movement and the former princeton and vanderbilt professor doctor carol swain but first the racism gold rush, that is the focus of tonight's first angle. because public schools have become cesspool far left political thought many parents don't align or can't afford private or parochial schools rightly feel their children are trapped, plus many of those private schools are just as bad anyway if not worse. i can't tell you how many parents i have run into who complain about this dynamic. former attorney general william 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 scarcely to be believed.

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 have been unimaginable just a few years ago. laura: the obvious question why should we send our tax dollars to schools that end up teaching our kids to hate the country? by choosing an aggressive secular humanist focus laced with critical race. teachers and administrators have created their own taxpayer-funded radicalism. they think you should answer, they don't think they should answer to anyone outside their sphere on issues like curriculum or anything related to life at school. they once complete and total control no questions asked while

parents, 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. >> they want their babysitters back. >> with a backdrop of covid and the death of george floyd the school dictators feel they got the wind at their backs, many are eager to embrace critical race. throughout their curricula across every subject and every aspect of schooling and this cost big bucks funneled to anti-american race -- courtesy of judicial watch we learned schools in montgomery county, maryland paid nearly half $1 million on something called an antiracism audit and they gave it to a group called the mid-atlantic equity consortium which, 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 scale. the past four years these haven't received a simple private donation so in montgomery county doctor mcnight, the acting superintendent claimed the antiracist audit would, quote, examine the district's system, practices and policies that do not create access opportunities, and equitable outcomes for every one's social and emotional well-being, policies and practices and tax status. let me translate this for you. they are preparing as our many schools across america to bring

racial propaganda into school subjects, every syllabus and academic award given out, higher scores of rabid anti-american ideologues destroying what is left of objective merit for students and faculty alike so if you are white you are to factor oh guilty. if you are not white, you're given special status and consideration. they promise diversity, equity, and inclusion but it is plain old racism. they i consultants and lecturers hired for the reprogramming, meet loyola psychologist sherry atwater recently hired in california to lecture faculty on antiracism. >> one of my favorite things to do in my local multicultural counseling class, raise your hand if you are racist. and they are all telling the

truth but also by the end of this lecture and discussion you will understand you are telling the truth and you are also lying at the same time because we have implicit biases, you can't tell me you are not racist. laura: her cliché ridden idiocy is a product of decades of educational decay, she's repeating what she heard in another seminar. very deep thinking, not quite but it is dangerous and things are just as toxic in our state universities funded by taxpayers. last month the pennsylvania state system of higher education board of governors meeting showcased a pathetic array of race groveling both humans. >> when we teach philosophy we teach philosophers, a lot of people, not just individuals. >> i want to stress i've spoken to students about this and the

absence of a diverse curriculum is the absence of affirming their humanity for campuses that are underway with implementing the nodule for students with many of our campuses are including in their freshman orientation, it would be required. >> you've got to get those kids early from the moment they step foot on campus just in case there high school wasn't woke enough to set them straight about how racist america is. the republican majority in the pennsylvania legislature should shut this down. not a single taxpayer dollar should go toward promotion of corrosive and racist philosophy not in care-12 and higher education. >> confronting this issue i think is the most urgent task for people concerned about religious liberty.

religious liberty is not safe in the united states as long as we have a kind of public school system we have, and indoctrination of children into these radical secular progress of orthodoxies. laura: he went on to say 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. things are dire on college campuses, but there are rays of hope. the board of trustees at unc chapel hill struck a note for common sense by revoking a tenure offered to hannah nicole jones, creator of the widely discredited 6019 project. in response to that the race mongers claim the college boards of trustees are themselves racist. it is all they have. naturally the biden

administration's full steam ahead with critical race the reason schools, the department of education issued two proposed priorities last month that would direct federal grant money to project the, quote, incorporate racially, ethnically and linguistically diverse perspectives into teaching and learning and promote information literacy. this screens boondoggle, 20 state attorneys general are fighting against these plans that oppose any government funds going to any project that characterizes the united states is irredeemably racist or founded on principles of racism or bias to a particular race or individual because of his or her race. it is my firm belief that democrats will rue the day they linked arms with the marxists on this issue. most suburban women who voted for decent old joe biden didn't think this was part of the bargain and the next time they

walk into the voting booth they will have a chance to strike a blow against the racial industrial complex but wants to wreck america as it robs us blind and that is the angle. how teachers in portland, oregon are preparing students not to be productive citizens but to be revolutionary, the political education programs constitute a training ground for child cultures, the most active, run by teenagers and dozens of minors were arrested and last year's riots which is a glimpse that soldiers rot last summer, a warning, this is graphic.

the person you saw kicking the victim and the head was 14. manhattan institute senior fellow contributed editor and city journal even though portland is as far left as any major city can get why should every american be concerned about the indoctrination going on in the schools there? >> portland area schools adopted a new philosophy originally a marxist theory is that came from brazil, students are told they need to achieve critical consciousness about their own oppression and education system needs to be reoriented towards achieving liberation and revolution and you see it in every facet of schooling and what is most important and damning is not only were many children arrested during those riots about many portland public

school teachers were arrested and some of these teachers despite being arrested for violent riots are still employed by the district, doubled and tripled down revolutionary rhetoric and that is what they are pushing to the youngest people in our society. laura: a hotdog near the capital on january 6th you might be in solitary confinement, you're immediately suspect. there is a program in portland 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. >> you may have heard some things in the news about people protesting injustice in our country. you train for this moment all year, to fight for justice. now is the time to show you will fight for justice.

laura: what does this have to do with improving literacy? >> it doesn't but what you've seen his bureaucracy has been totally submerged in this ideology. this teacher is speaking to elementary school students, they need to be justice fighters, and get out into the streets and fight along with the protesters in portland and the same teacher according to witnesses who observed this also engaged in essentially george orwell's 2-minute hate program, they allowed minority teachers to parade white teachers for 90 seconds in a kind of display of public apology for your whiteness, these things are happening within the institutions. i have the documents, the videos. if it is not in your school district now they are pushing to put it everywhere in the coming years.

laura: this was shown to third-grade students just outside portland. >> one of the most freeing things white people can do or non-poc people, any human being on the planet to do right now is say of course i am racist. what it does is it says this is not a personal or moral failing, it's not because i'm a bad person or some evil terrible being, it is because that is the structure of this society i have been immersed in. >> 8 and 9-year-olds are told racist country, they are racist, really quick. >> i spoke with a woman from iran who said she grew up in tehran chanting death to america before school and what is happening, the indoctrination of her child in the schools reminder of what was happening

back in iran. they are sending out red flares to warn is what is happening in schools, it should terrify all americans. i hope we can come together and push back. >> none of these people should be employed as teachers, they should all lose their jobs. will say? parents rising up against critical race theory that is infecting their kids schools, first we will expose the toxic curricula being taught and hear from parents who are fighting back, don't go away.

announcer 1: as they head toward the finish, warren has built a substantial lead and headed for her fourth gold medal! announcer 2: she's ahead of the world record pace by at least half a second and she - oh wait, wait... what's she doing? announcer 1: i think she's doing a headstand. why would she do that? announcer 2: she's stopping. she just, she stopped. announcer 1: i've never seen anything like this. announcer 2: she was so close to the finish, and she stopped. announcer 1: i don't know what she's thinking! announcer 2: this is unbelievable. i've never -

america. that's the focus of tonight's angle. laura: teaching against america is the focus of tonight's angle. mister markquote, eighth grade algebra, eleventh grade russian, spanish. mister byrd tule, chemistry, mrs. martin, human physiology, these are just some of the outstanding teachers i had in public schools in connecticut. i feel so grateful. a couple times a week at least i feel so blessed to have been tossed by them into 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 most of the student body. the rich kids had for the most part no reason to go to private schools since the public schools were so great, the town board of education back then was pretty responsive to the concerns of taxpaying parents, the pta was well-run and generally well respected. i don't recall ever hearing my teachers talk about politics little pushing their opinions on us. boy have things changed. today led by reticles running the nea and nfc, they don't want to be in the classroom at all but when they are in the

classroom they are fainting poisonous 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 disciplines, even math and science and how they are taught. >> we want to talk about all the things that the school system we have to look at the system, put it out there and uproot systemic racism. >> antiracism has to begin by holding up a mirror and taking a look at your own biases. laura: more parents coming to recognize this far left ideologies itself racist. i will say it again. is itself racist and it maintains that all white people are guilty, privileged, and harbor unconscious bias at the very least. even if you don't have children in public schools this should matter to you. your tax dollars keep the lights on and teachers paid.

we spend on average 13,$000 per pupil in the public school system annually. that according to the census bureau but most busy parents don't know they are also paying the salaries of school board members like insufferable left-wing blowhard philip ridinger. >> i feel the need to change our course and do more for diversity and inclusion. we need to find inequality and racism with action. we need as we are to reform curriculum, we need to pursue as we are at diversity, equity and inclusion policy for our schools but unites us and specifies further action. >> the only further action needed is to run that guy off the school board. i couldn't rely him to change my title and change my kids curriculum. how sick this is, children have been learning at home for almost

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

the language of punishment is what they use. these are the people molding your children in their formative years. hillary holtman legal the former teacher at potomac false heiskell and now a paid education consultant for the school district is spending her time plotting against district parents. regarding the anti-crt movements, we would like to compile the documents of all known actors and supporters, please comment below with legal names of these individuals, area of residence and or school board, known accounts of social media and any other info you feel is relevant. every single one of these teachers and consultants should be terminated immediately. the feigning those who pay your salaries, threatening to theoh asked him.

can any other employees get away with doing that to their customers? parents have to do more than coast on social media and talk among themselves about all of this. they must start to form mass movements to take back our education system, demand hearings on state and federal level, don't just show up at school board meetings. run for school boards. any school that is teaching our kids to hate america should be denied funding period. wants to know who gets this? rhonda santos gets it. >> florida civics curriculum, foundational concepts with the best materials and it will expressly exclude and sanctioned narratives, there is 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.

>> 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 giving women the right to vote was a mistake. everyone would rightly demand an immediate stop to this. many conservatives watching say just forget the public schools, push for vouchers. we love vouchers and the fight for vouchers but that is a mistake. because on too many occasions we just picked up and left major institutions and the resulting in moving them further to the left. case in point conservatives are an endangered species at universities and look what that is accomplished. anyone over the age of 35, maybe 30, know that you can have public schools in america where people can get a good education

minus the political indoctrination. we had non-ideological public schools for most of our history. massachusetts native horse man is considered the father of public education in this country. he believes public schools were essential to preserving our republic. it was in 1841 that he wrote garrisons, armies, navies are means of security and defense. schoolhouses are the republican line of fortification and if they are dismantled and dilapidated ignorance advice will pour in their legions through every bridge. the left is already far along in the dismantling and until we mobilize, take back these school boards we will continue to see the ignorance pouring out and that is the angle. last night we shared video county virginia parents terry and their school district for

pushing critical race theory onto their kids but what we didn't show you was black lives matter protesters showed up to shout this parents down. >> somebody disagrees with critical race theory considered a racist which is not the case. there is no line of distinction, for or against it you are automatically a racist, that's not doing society any good. none of us any good. >> that is what racism is. jillian: two parents fighting against crt in their schools, executive director of fight for our schools, nikki neely, president and founder of parents defending education. let's start with you. you spoke of that news conference. what happened after the blm crew showed up? >> there are four of them, local activists, we referred to them

as chardonnay antifa but right when we were about to start a press conference you had these folks come in with their banner and physically occupy the space we had set up in order to conduct a press conference in with a parent, these parents are dedicated parents working every day all day to go out there and get petitions to recall the school board and when they started speaking these folks didn't want to hear from them, all they wanted to do was disrupt, continually interrupt, harass them and call them race which eventually we were able to get the press conference going and when we were done with the exception of one individual the rest of them just left, they didn't take the time to talk to the press or put their views out there. all they want to do is disrupt and silence the opposition. >> what do you think would have happened if you tried that routine with the black lives matter press conference? >> we would be all over the mainstream media, weird to find the washington post and a lot of dc-based outlets not covering this. it is a total mystery to me. >> democrat candidates for virginia lieutenant governor

debated last night and they did touch on critical race. specifically your county. sean pearman said critical race. not even being taught in our schools. it is a republican dog whistle, anything they disagree with is critical race theory. they claim it is not even present, not even a factor? >> absolute nonsense which we have invoices from the equity collaboratives in california, two county schools in virginia, teaching teachers and coaching teachers on critical race theory, they talk about culturally responsive learning, don't have to spend much time on the google machine to understand culturally responsive learning is the educational tool to implement critical race there he concepts. they are trying to guess like people, they realize they are losing end of this debate and trying to explain, when you are explaining your losing and we are feeling momentum in loudoun

county, we have hundreds of parents committed to recalling the school board and giving kids in education in things like math, science, reading, typical things you want kids to learn to succeed in life. >> washington post columnist christine mbas defending critical race. saying calling for racial accountability can feel like an attack when you're not ready to acknowledge your behavior, that of your ancestors has harmed others. that is what our children should be steeped in is if they came from other countries which many are from other countries, nothing to do with slavery, they weren't even in this country but they are supposed to be steeped in all this to learn what, that america is an awful, rotten racist country. >> we are supposed to pay for the sins of our fathers, my parents interned in a german camp but i'm not chasing after bunch of white people because we can't keep blaming everybody else, we can teach american

history better but should not be trying to shame and degrade children particularly mental health for children who have been out of school for 15 months at this point, tell them they are bad people because of the color of their skin, it is emotional abuse and wiki people around the country standing up just like other people around the rest of the country -- >> it takes guts, it takes courage and you're being on this show tonight doing what you are doing every day on this issue your inspiring people across the country and this movement is growing. we are going to keep covering it, thank you for doing what you are doing. a father daughter duo went viral for videos rejecting critical race theory and the black lives matter movement. at the father explains why this should be an issue for every parent.

on who they are -- >> if they are nice and smart. >> this is how children think right here. critical race theory wants to end that. not with my children. not going to happen. we need to stop crt period, point blank. children should not the skin color, they love everybody. >> that message is something every parent should agree on. many parents across the country speaking out against critical race theory and the damage it is doing to our kids in schools. corey, thank you for being with us. why is it so important for you to talk about this issue with your young daughter q >> it goes towards young people. i want my daughter to treat people with respect no matter if they are black, white, brown, i want people to know that people should be judged by their

character and not by their color. on television when eugene robinson of the washington post made a point about critical race theory. watch. >> the right-wing is all a flutter about critical race theory, history has a way of winning, history has a way of making its effects known no matter who tries to stop this phenomenon. we will keep telling the truth. laura: is this a rejection, this rejection of critical race. he said a right-wing only issue in your view? >> know, absolutely not. anybody who doesn't have in their mind that they want people to be judged by your race or your color or your creed,

nationality, that goes through all spectrums, liberal democrat, right lower left, doesn't matter. laura: some schools in the washington dc area are having these race surveys, some consulting group gets paid a lot of money to talk about how racist they are even if they don't think they are of course they are so the white kids have 2 separate into one group and the black kids, people of color separate into another group and have to do different workshops and the weight 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 going to go back to jim crow? back to segregation, we need to be forward, keeping people there is no difference whether you are white or black. why is that so hard for some

people? i don't understand. it is so racist. laura: the point they are making is america is systemically racist to her core and because america is systemically racist everything has to be taught through that lens to prevent further corrosion of our country. >> frederick douglass said the constitution is a glorious liberty document and i believe the same thing. frederick douglass and martin luther king believed there was no way and they wouldn't have thought to change, we had the constitution, liberty of all men, all races and all creeds.

>> this interview we will see by a lot of people but your viral video is awesome, thank you for joining us. coming up we will show you how the left is even brainwashing the youngest of our kids, princeton and vanderbilt professor next.

>> other than providing public funding for basic educat >> (providing public funding for

basic education the other purpose of it was to effectuate the melting pot, to instill a sense of common identity, promote solidarity among students as americans but now the schools have taken the opposite mission of separating us, teaching unbridgeable differences, dividing us into different identities to be antagonistic. if that is the purpose of education, to separate us from each other, to drive us apart then why shouldn't we have a diverse school system? laura: william barr does ask the right questions, why send our tax dollars to schools that end up teaching our kids to hate each other and hate the country? this is a video used in schools across the country meant to

soften the blm riots, packaged in a harmless cartoonish fashion meant to in your kids to the destructive message. >> structural racism in our society, system of bias that makes life easier for white people and more difficult for black people and other people of color, black people were killed by police twice the rate of weight men, like on may 20 fifth 2021 a black man named george floyd died in minneapolis, minnesota, the demonstrations aren't only about mister floyd, they are about a pattern of violence against black people and a tendency for our suffering to go unnoticed. >> that video is being shown across elementary schools across the united states even in red

states but parents are standing up to this racial bullying and misrepresentation. one father in palm beach county, florida this week was reacting to the video. >> completely inappropriate material for those kids. and it is a sociopolitical message. my messages stay out of my living room. that is my place. if i want to talk about current the kids, moral guidance and advice that is our place, stay in your lane. 40 minutes of the first training module all about skin color, skin color, race. are we not passed this crap as a society? i am telling you if you support this ideology where skin color and group identity matters more than the substance of the individual you are a racist, okay?

shake your head, i see you shaking your head, i'm saying it's your face, calling you a racist if this is what you believe. >> that guy is amazing. joining me from florida is doctor carol swain, former president, vanderbilt professor. 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, innocent words we all thought we knew the meaning of have been changed. when the left talks about equity they are not talking about equal opportunity. they have rejected colorblindness. they have councils america and we are fortunate now parents our understanding the destructiveness of the critical race theory agenda that takes away from academic learning, they are becoming more confident about standing up and pushing back. >> it is not just dads speaking out, moms are too and another

parent spoke out at this event slamming the district over its priorities. >> you've lost your way. all you're doing is teaching people to be mindless robots. it is time to really learn and teach our children the u.s. constitution, the florida constitution, the bill of rights, the declaration of independence are. laura: our founding documents. of those are determined to the left to be systemically racist than what is america? and illegitimate country is where we are headed next. >> i can tell you the founding documents in our constitution, civil rights law with the evil protection clause of the saw

rights law 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 un-american, runs counter to vote to civil rights laws and the equal protection clause. it involves bullying and shaming people because of the color of their skin. that is not something we should be doing in america. laura: final thoughts when we return.

i hated sticking my fingers, then i got the dexcom g6. i just glance at my phone, and there's my glucose number. wow. my a1c has dropped over 2 points to 7.2.

that's a huge victory.

>> laura: i want to end with something my old boss laura: i want to end with something ronald reagan said, freedom is a fragile thing and never more than one generation away from extinction. we all know that warning proved all too present. we have to stand up for the country that we love. we can't let our kids and grandchildren be taught that we are a horrible awful racist place that is irredeemable. this is a country that is unlike any other. it is special because of our
