do you think this is something that loudoun county public schools, the adults, the administrators, the address? >> we need to address race. what we need to do is include all races. not just exclude others. >> reporter: loudoun was one of the last counties in the nation to desegregate its schools. many believe the legacy of that is still apparent. last year the school board apologized to the black community of loudoun county for decades of unequal treatment. >> loudoun county has not had its reckoning. i would love to tell you about all the wonderful things in loudoun county. but we need to address the systemic racism that those of us who are white unfortunately haven't seen. >> reporter: teacher andrea weisskopf believes loudoun county schools should do more to combat racism. when you say that loudoun county hasn't had its reckoning, what are you talking about? >> people like to think the civil rights movement is done. but we need to remember this started in 1619. and loudoun was built with enslaved la the 1970s there was public swimming pool in leesburg. and rather than integrate, the

loudoun county is a microcosm of the entire country.ve been in a war but we've not been at war. we have been retreating for 50, 60, along the way, insurgency taking our institutions and schools, and that is where we as citizens end up with folks who joined the insurgency and that is what has happened and people finally rising up joining together -- jillian: a couple seconds left, we did mention you are so passionate about the topic that you refused to leave the school meeting and were arrested, are you facing continuing legal challenges because of this? >> i've been charged with trespassing in a public square, clearly they were the ones that were unlawful in the situation. jillian: we appreciate it. >> after vandal targeted her home congresswoman nancy masses she was not taking any chances when it comes to keeping her kids safe. she joins us live after the break. jillian: a hurricane watch issued in parts of west florida as tropical storm elsa nears the keys. meteorologist janice dean is here with the fox weather forecast on the storm a

not just in loudoun county but across the country. received letters from people across the country, pretty hateful towards me but also just highlighting their bigotry and racism. >> so you tell parents, okay, i'm going to be very clear. you tell parents that critical race theory is not being taught in classrooms but you say nobody believes you. why is that? you are the chair of the school board. >> don, crt is the big lie of education. it is being used to divide our county and divide our country. this is happening in school board meeting rooms across the country. i have been reached out to by so many different people. i'm truly grateful for that. that are in this with us. and we're just the ones being highlighted because of probably our locality being so close to d.c. but our county is divided. just as our country was divided under the previous administration. we have professional agitators using students as pawns to win the virginia governor's race. people keep asking me if i think it will die down over the summer and as we get back

kids better than you and we got a foia last week that fox digital reported on the talked about loudoun countylic schools instructing teachers saying it is the teachers job to inculcate morals and students and the parents had to respect that authority. not on my watch, not on anybody's watch, a government body inculcate morals in our children is not what schools are therefore, they are math, science, reading an accurate history but what they are saying now is anything but accurate history. laura: cnn doctor and for planned parenthood head said this today. >> it needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. it is kind of the opposite. it is fine, easy if you're unvaccinated. at some point these mandates by workplaces and schools, it will be important to say you cannot doubt but if you want to opt out you have to sign these forms, get twice-weekly testing. laura: if she could she would put the unvaccinated americans in camps. honestly she creeps me out more than anyone else on tv and that is saying something. the singling out of people who made their own medical decisions. >> a long line o

we did polling recently in fairfax county and loudoun county virginia and we found both republicans ands are overwhelmingly against this kind of overreach from the schools. this is not your liberalism of the 1960s or 1990s, where the government says we know what to do with your money better than you. this is a new kind of radical left that says "we know what to do with your kids better than you," and we actually just got a foia last week that box digital reported on, from loudoun county public schools, they were instructing teachers and saying it is the teacher's job to inculcate morals in students, and that parents had to respect that authority. i'm sorry, not on my watch. not on anybody's watch are we going to let a government body inculcate morals and our children. that is not what schools are there for. math, science, reading, and yes, accurate history, but what they are trying to say right now is anything but accurate history. >> laura: now, cnn doctor and former planned parenthood head, lena nguyen, said this today. >> it needs to be hard for people to remain unvaccinated. right n

school officials in loudoun county, virginia appeal a judge's order to rehire a teacher who disagreedirth. cross joined us earlier to discuss the legal battle. >> we are very happy with the judge's decision rights were violated. it uncontroversial what happened to me. on our side. jillian: legal battle will continue in virginia supreme court. reached out to a spokesperson for loudoun county schools and they said they do not comment on pending. change the way people cook their lobster. >> live thing in the house. >> stop it. don't do that. >> maybe we should just call the police. dial 911. it's the lobster squad. >> come on, for god's sake. jillian: here's deal. a new u.k. bill wants to ban people from boiling lobsters alive and require the sea creatures be stunned or chilled before being placed in the pot. the measure says it's to protect the welfare rights of crustations. that is a look at your headlines, send it back to you. brian: i do feel bad boiling a lobster alive. you don't? ainsley: they make a crying noise, too. brian: freezing them alive is not much better. pete: or shockin

in loudoun county especially. >> loudoun is not that much of a swing county anymore. >> it has gottenest. if a young kid who is the gop nominee can really utilize this issue, and beat mcauliffe, that's going to show things for his party going into the midterms. but i wonder about on that issue and watching that clip in that room, how much of this is grassroads and how much is astroturf. >> that's exactly right. >> how much is this activist driven, people super invested in the issue and how much of this is medium to low information voters and parents who aren't following -- it can have the same effect. the tea party started out as an astroturf moment and became something. so a question for democrats is they watch this and see, oh, this could be good but the whole issue of how woke the democratic party is really worries a lot of democrats overall. is it too woke? >> they don't say it out loud. >> they don't want to say it out loud but watch president biden's face on this. he's the leader of the party and moderate in every way on these types of issues so it's interesting on both sides. >

take a look at loudoun county, they are making a difference.ce, if they are not doing it the way you want it, as a parent, your school, you are able to leave that school and go to another school. that's obnoxious behavior on the part of the teachers unions. just one caution, i think shannon and emily would agree with this, they are not overbroad and are going to get challenged. nevertheless, this fight is worth it. >> it's interesting because a lot of the people who are pushing independent critical race theory, they are saying this isn't even being taught in school, i don't know what you're talking about. then they try to shift the definition of what critical race theory is but isn't this clear evidence that this is exactly what they are pushing to be taught across the board in public schools? >> you are right. this has been endorsed on a national level and it is happening everywhere. you don't need to look with your own eyes to see it, one of the troubling resolutions that they've had is gathering information about parents and groups that oppo

, listen to this. >> right here in my backyard of loudoun county where, you know, they've beenctice leads to discrimination , disempowerment and victimhood by virtue of race ainsley: what do we do about this problem? >> very simple. you keep showing these parents fighting back, because critical race theory is racist. it's not history, and it's designed to divide this country based on skin color. we fight back and we continue to fight back. ainsley: leo thank you so much for coming on. coming up, morgan ortegas, chris wallace and jessie waters all live when fox & friends returns. so, you have diabetes, here are some easy rules. no sugar. no pizza. no foods you love. stressed? no stress. exercise. but no days off! easy, no? no. no. no. no. but with freestyle libre 14 day, you can take the mystery out of your diabetes. now you know. sir, do you know what you want to order? yes. freestyle libre 14 day. try it for free. >> explosion of deadly violence over the holiday weekend, as the country faces a major crime wave. >> it is a crime problem. they aren't going after the criminals. t

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 part

i think this is the next thing that happens in the critical race theory debate, loudoun county schoolre going to say, what about more school choice? what about giving us opportunity to send our kids elsewhere? that's the next front in this big battle. >> martha: i agree. all of this just sends a chill up the spine of the teacher's union. they have fought charter schools, have fought school choice for years. and these issues, crt and also covid and the overbearing impact of what happened with schools being shut down is forcing parents in inner city communities to say hey, we don't we get to have some choice here. quick thought on that. >> you're right. covid and crt are a window of what the unions are about and what they're pushing. you're right. i've been saying this for 40 years. i don't want to date myself. it's not me that matters. it's the parents out there. we have a popular uprising. we may change american education because of this. may be some blessings out of covid and crt after all despite all the disaster and tragedy. >> martha: every child deserves to have options. west vir

june 10 in loudoun county. a virginia parents.er so as a child growing up during the cultural revolution. watch this. >> what's going on in our school and our country is really a replay of the cultural revolution. the ideology is cultural marxism. we were divided to oppressor and oppressed. here we use race. there they used class. >> martha: that is her appearance on hannity. she stood in front of the school board and she talked about -- she said first they changed the names of our streets. then they changed the names of the schools we went to. boy, doesn't that sound familiar, bill? >> yeah, this is what i mean about the cultural revolution. this is a big deal. it's happening. when you talk about kids schools, parents see this up front, they saw it over their during covid. they react because it's immediate and it's spreading and it's everywhere. she mentioned the cultural revolution. that's what we've got. >> martha: bill bennett, always good to speak to you. thanks very much. >> thank you. >> martha: so china is now flaring up a

the white house surely has to be paying attention to virginia and the outrage among parents in loudoun countyrfax county and this outrage is kind of nonpartisan and these are white's parents but they are also parents of color, immigrant parents who are outraged by the, as they say, the dumbing down of their children's education. >> that's not in any of the data i see in the particular race that you cite in virginia. i want to say, can we i'll not imagine a mistake in a large bureaucracy? i think we can all get on the page that that's a distinct possibility so i think jen psaki's answer had credibility. i also think that ultimately this is about critical race theory, this is about, what we teach our kids in our schools and i want to look to texas where republicans are advancing sbu three which is no teacher in public schools can say that the kkk was morally wrong, that segregation was bad. we have gone to such lengths that we are now erasing history, we need to teach history and have accountability because we need to improve our country. and telling the truth about our history is important. th

why has loudoun county become the ground zero? see is parents are fighting back and there have been some times when we were really taken our school boards for granted and maybe not voted. really not considered you know the importance but i can guarranty you now, people understand that every single elected office is important, even dog catcher and especially for our children's future. people are concerned. these are their children after all. rachel: absolutely. our kids are not the union's children, they're our children. one of the most pernicious lies, by the way i love your background. you came to the united states at the age of six. you have this amazing, people don't know your bio, they should look you up, it is very impressive and diverse in terms of all the things you accomplished. i think one of the most pernicious lies is promoting about our founding, 1619 versus 176 but there is this idea of oppressor and those who are oppressed and that has huge implications how our children view themselves, right? >> well you know, you t

a lot of it has happened in virginia whether it's loudoun county or fairfax virginia where in fairfaxhey are trying to push curriculums that include critical race theory. parents have stood up and fought back. there was a counter rally to that rally. meaning the unions and the pta and teachers went out and had their own rally pushing back against the parents who don't like critical race theory. one of the speakers there, michelle leete, a member of the naacp in virginia as well as an official with the pta. she took to the microphone and said the following about anti-critical race theory. listen to this. >> let them die. these anti-teacher, anti-equity, antihistory, anti-racial equity. anti-opportunity. anti-help people. anti-diversity let them die. [cheers and applause] pete: you may have missed but you probably heard it right. let them die. rachel: then cheering. i assume those are other parents around there or, you know,. pete: teachers, it union members, whatever it was. rachel: cheering about it did you a great segment last night. you had the parents who recorded nomoni and this i

the place that's been the main flash point at many levels has been loudoun county and certain placesids they are oppressed or oppressors. we want it out of the classroom. there is a governor's race there coming up and it's an off term election, virginia does theirs on the odd years. '21. terry mcauliffe once the virginia gubernatorial nominee is running again. he has been asked in the past about critical race theory. because virginia hasn't center of it. the republican running there is running against the idea that schools would be full of this type of garbage. he said we are going to get to what he is saying recently or what he is doing recently. here's a reminder of how terry mcauliffe, just like barack obama and others have said, you know that crt thing? this is from june. it's a right wing conspiracy. listen. >> i was just wondering like all the republicans are talking like critical race theory and they're making this huge deal about it and it's all of the conversation in the news virginia, like what are you going to say to all those people making about that. >> it's another righ

now it comes out that we'd seen it in loudoun county at those enormous school board meetings were peopleen's schools. the teachers union have now said we're going to support this in the schools. ultimately, i think the parents are going to win. politics, that's very interesting. the nea and aft are now saying this republican sponsored uprising of parents, but it's not republican sponsored at all. this is parents, this is grassroots and by the way, i think half of liberal democrats don't want the kids are educated in this often. this is a fight is going to be tough, is going to be intense but i think ultimately parents will as they should win. note, the federal him and has no role in ordering curriculum in the nation's schools, that's what they do in the soviet union with russia, china, but that's not what we do here. >> dana: let's quote joy reid. she set a reminder of the earlier persons of these anti-steaks crt parents also children as water and pulse full-screen cries of communism to force ultraconservative, white supremacist version of america. hashtag on cancel history. it reminds m

you can just see this past week in virginia's loudoun county the board of education there rather than face parental criticism, they shut down public comment, they adjourned the meeting and they actually called the police to come in and arrest parents who gathered to express their grievances for the government and local school officials. i hope that you will not nationalize the culture war that started in virginia and brunt critical race theory with hard earned taxpayer dollars. i have 7 minutes left on my time. i yield back, chairman. >> thank you. the gentleman's time has experienced. next, mr. secretary, is the member you know well, the former teacher of the year, national teacher of the year from connecticut liz hayes. >> thank you so much, mr. chair. thank you, secretary cardona for being here. it is wonderful to see you here today. connecticut is so proud of your leadership. as your representative i can tell you it is a breath of fresh air to sit through this hearing and listen to an actual practitioner talk education policy. it is a welcome change. i don't have to tell you how p

>> the outrage is with parents who go to places like the loudoun county school board meeting and theyhave a voice. parents should take their voice back, take ownership of this critical time in their kids lives. the way to do that is through school choice. you are seeing this throughout legislators across the country where there is a big push to have the money follow the student and that means instead of your taxpayer money being taken from you and given to public schools which are beholden to teachers unions and this god-awful curriculum that you can take that money and choose where to send your child. ashley: what a concept. thank you so much for taking time to chat with us. you can catch kennedy on her show monday through thursday 8:00 pm eastern on the foxbusiness network. now let's look at the markets and bring in david, you say there is significant pent-up demand and many are astir -- underestimating it. many are underestimating what? make your case? >> throughout the whole recovery people have underestimated the pent-up demand of the basic human desire to get back to their lives

the best defense is educating your kids yourself because we saw this in loudoun county.gine feeding your kids and raising them their entire life and they choose the teachers over their own parent. ainsley: here is the argument from this mother how can you teach them something different at home and have a diversification about it at home if they are not they are teaching our kids this. you might have child that comes home and talk to you. a lot of teenagers won't tell their parents what they're learning it doesn't give the parents an opportunity to correct or set the record straight when there are a lot of parents that want to just teach we love everybody. we love every skin color. we all have the opportunity. beare all-american. steve: that's once of the things about the pandemic during the pandemic a lot of the parents were looking over the shoulder of their kids going hey, what are you doing? hey, wait, what are you doing? they are teaching this in school? and that's why we got to where we are right now. lawrence: a lot of interesting things happened during the pandemi
