Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) condemned Critical Race Theory, which is being taught in many public schools and universities, as a left-wing ideology that teaches that America “is fundamentally racist.” It is a philosophical “poison” that is “being poured into the minds of our kids,” he added.
On FNC’s Watters’ World, June 26, host Jesse Watters asked Cruz, “So, do you think that this anti-Critical Race Theory kind of mirrors the Tea Party Movement that we saw maybe a little over a decade ago? Because I’m seeing the same type of energy, political potency that I saw during that time period?”
