School boards across the country, facing pressure from racial equity activists, teachers’ unions, and politicians have spent millions of taxpayer dollars on training and curriculum changes that push a fringe ideology known as critical race theory on K-12 students in American public schools. Parents who saw these changes play out during virtual school classes were horrified and began a national movement to get rid of it. At angry school board meetings since then, outraged parents asked their school boards, “How could you let this happen?”

On the most recent episode of The DrillDown, author Kenny Xu takes on how Critical Race Theory (CRT) made its way into K-12 education, dragging down educational progress and indoctrinating millions of American kids while making a class of “diversity consultants” rich.
