kennedy, you had joy reid saying this is something chris rufo just made up. had terry mcauliffe saying critical race theory is a conspiracy theory made up by president trump. this appears to be very real. >> kennedy: lies the american federation of teachers pushing it so hard. 5,000 members of that organization vowed to continue teaching critical race theory. the deflection has been part of the shell game trying to say no, that's not what critical race theory is. critical race theory is taught at the university level. not taught to k-12 students. it absolutely is. it's destructive and an oversimplification. you shouldn't impose on children how they see themselves. they should be able to develop their own self-image and self-worth. also i would love a definition for whiteness. what does that even mean. who decides? >> kayleigh: it's a great question. gillian, that's a good point. they are assuring us it's not taught in elementary schools. it is. chris rufo has evidence of the book being 30 school districts in the kids book comes directly from the 1993 seminal

joining me now, chris rufo. tell us about this book, chris.lievable. >> this is one of critical race theories core tenets. the idea of whiteness. critical race theory tells us. they tee pick it whiteness as the devil luring children into a sense of racial identity. this is totally inappropriate. it's being taught to kids as young as 4 and 5 years old. i have had whistleblowers tell me it's being taught in 30 school districts in 15 states. jesse: because i'm born white, i'm the devil and i'm racist. an this is supposed to be good for students according to the liberals. the air force is pushing this. a professor wrote a piece in the "washington post" saying we are going to teach this to the people who are supposed to be defending this country. i don't think this brings us together. what do you say? >> this an instance of funding of fake ideology. government spending has gone through the roof, and they have to try to figure out things to do for their friends in academia, and bring them into the air force academy where we should be trying to figur

we heard that from christopher rufo himself, who brought this into the american consciousness.ining other parents and grandparents, how to get rid of crt from their schools. but there is a conversation that is very difficult in this country, how to teach children and how to teach parents how to talk about racism in our current history, in the now, and that's where a lot of this consternation is. >> sara sidner, great reporting. thank you so much. >> sure. >> republicans not leapletting n their assault against critical race theory. why is it resonating with so many people? we'll discuss next. icy hot. ice works fast. heat makes it last. feel the power of contrast therapy, so you can rise from pain. delicia: this is where all our recycling is sorted -- 1.2 million pounds every day, helping to make san francisco the greenest big city in america. but that's not all you'll find here. there are hundreds of good-paying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayview-hunter's point. we don't just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. now, that's making a

chris rufo is here on that. i'm john roberts. jacqui heinrich will be here. in the pandemic, a new survey suggests that a lot of people don't want to give up working from home. according to the university of chicago, when more than 2,300 people were asked how they deal with being told to return to the office full time, four in ten said they were follow the command but also start looking for a job that would let them work remotely once or twice a week. another 6% said they would call it quits instead of returning. raymond, i was speaking to someone recently that said i commute 75 miles in and out of work. in that case, that's a lot of wasted time commuting when you can be working. >> raymond: depends on the job. when you come back to new york as we have, when you see so many coffee shops closed, so many lunch places, this has an impact on the economy far beyond the office place. i also think it's important. abby and i are separated by a curtain. it's great to see everybody again, to interact. we need the interaction. we need the accountability in the workplace

we heard that from christopher rufo himself, who brought this into the american consciousness and hearddparents how to get rid of crt from their schools. but there is a conversation that's very difficult in this country -- how to teach children, and how to teach pare parents how to talk about racism in our current history, in the now, and that's where a lot of this consternation is. >> sarah sidner, great reporting. thank you so much. >> sure. >>> republicans not letting up on their assault against critical race theory. why is it resonating with so many people? we'll discuss nerks. there's an america we build and one we explore. one that's been paved and one that's forever wild. but freedom means you don't have to choose just one adventure. you get both. introducing the wildly civilized all-new 3-row jeep grand cherokee l (man) i've made progress with my mental health. so when i started having unintentional body movements called tardive dyskinesia... ... i ignored them. but when the movements in my hands and feet started throwing me off at work... i finally had to say, 'it's not ok.' it

joining us now is christopher rufo, senior fellow at the manhattan institute.saki said the reference to the abolitionist teaching network was more than 1,000 citations, essentially making the case that it accidentally slipped through. assuming that is true, should they be more vigilant if that is the case? >> they should be more vigilant, but this is not an isolated incident. it's a broader pattern of the biden administration department of promoting critical royce theory. we know that months ago, secretary miguel cardona who has been a huge supporter of crt, try to create national incentives for an local school districts, and after 30,000 comments trashing their proposal, they backed down. one time they give them the benefit of the doubt, but they have an established pattern of trying to push the radical ideology, thankfully we are watching and rallying the people of the country against it and in these two instances, they backed down. >> jacqui: you are referring to a grant proposal that referenced the 16-19 project, somewhat controversial product to that was p

. >> tucker: so chris rufo is one of the only o journalists in the country who is taking a close look companies ane schools are actually teaching during the struggle sessions and he has discovered again and again that it's racist.s not reverse racism or a species racist, it's racist teaching that there better than others. today theyey reported that raytheon is teaching its employees to judge one another based on the color of their skin. white straight christian men are at the top of the oppression ans they must step aside for minorities, although they haven't individually done anything wrong. it's hard to believe this can happen and your tax dollars paying for it. so raytheon, i guess they haven't apologize to people of color that there weapons have killed over the years but apologize for attacking the skin color. am i missing the just or is that about right? >> that's right. they launch this political indoctrination program, asking employees to actually identify one another on the basis of racist, and that's the favored equality of outcomes which is a synonym for socialism and may be

christopher rufo tweeted the following.ployees in 50 states. they have a $350 million annual budget and an army operatives. they have declared war on parents that oppose critical race theory and parents have to fight back. he said they declared water on parents that wanted to get their kids back in school in covid and they won for the most part and now declaring war again. many people think they'll win again. >> i don't think they'll written again. they'll have more parents waking up especially because of what they went through with covid. people in my community don't want them to win again. in is a big shock to my small town that this is making national news. more around more people are supporting me to get transparency in the school system. >> trace: yeah, transparency would be a good thing. john, your final thoughts on this. they're going to clearly keep fighting back. what is the plan going forward? >> well, look, we submitted a new records request to the best. they got ten days to respond. they don't respond, it's bein

, which is also a feature of american law schools that hasn't somehow drawn the ire of christopher rufot is things that are happening in hundreds of public schools in illinois and chicago where they're teaching children as young as kindergarten that whiteness is the devil and attempts to lure people into it with the promise of stolen land and stolen riches. that's a book being used in hundreds of schools, and people don't think that's right. people want to know where it comes from, people want to know what idealogies inform it -- >> what's the name of that book, just for the record? what's the name of that book? >> the book is called "not my idea." it's being taught in hundreds of schools in illinois and chicago. it's actually the subject of a federal lawsuit by a teacher named teresa demar who was forced to teach it. you can retreat to the federal territory and saying it's looking to the history of racism and society, but if you look at the specifics, they are telling kids they are fundamentally racist because of the color of their skin. they're telling people they should feel shame, g
