. >> jesse: katie do you think michael eric dyson really believes that this is all about whether schoolsvery? do you think he really believes that? >> katie: i think he is a racist and this week he deduced and degraded winston sears by calling her a black mouth moving speaking about white supremacist ideas. so i think that he likes writical race theory. i think he doesn't want real american history to be taught because it shows the promise of america and that we can get over really tough things in this country and come together despite our skin color. instead,ents to continue to separate people by race because that's his ideology. and it's not just now. he has had this ideology for years and years and years, and he gets a pass as a professor at georgetown, i believe, and he continues to spew this kind of hateful rhetoric. so i do think that he wants critical race theory taught because it alliance with his very racist ideology and his statements when it comes to anybody who has a differing opinion especially if you're a black woman in virginia who gets elected by parents of all different
