Fox News contributor Leo Terrell discusses critical race theory, 1619 Project, and teachers’ unions' influence over the CDC.
This is an unofficial transcript meant for reference. Accuracy is not guaranteed.
Brian all right,
the one thousand six hundred and nineteen project creator
defending her racial curriculum
against the push to stop it from
being taught in our kids
schools.
The state legislators all
across the country that are
trying to get bills passed to
prohibit the teaching of the
one thousand six hundred and nineteen project,
its not about the facts of
history,
its about trying to prohibit
the teaching of ideas that they
dont like
it is a project trying to teach
children the truth about what
our country was based upon.
Slavery was foundational to the
United States,
Brian wow, but the backlash not
stopping a prominent university
from hiring her University of
North Carolina, adding Nikole
Hannah Jones to Journalism,
department,
civil rights attorney LEO
Terrell,
the one thousand six hundred and nineteen project fundamentally
based on something not true. We
didnt fight the revolutionary
war in order to preserve
slavery.
Whats your take on this,
I want to be very clear to
the fox viewers.
Implementation of the critical
race theory would be government
sponsored racism.
You stated it already
its not fact
it is a lie.
I just heard that clip where the
proponent of the critical race
theory is lying about the
implementation and the
truthfulness
its not grounded. In fact,
this country was not motivated
to have a revolution based on
slavery.
That is a lie.
Brian all right.
She came back and said this
after she got hired
im grateful for the opportunity
to give back by helping students
pursue their dreams and learn
how to practice the type of
journalism that is truly
reflective of our multiracial
nation.
Do you have to make a it choice
between it, one thousand six hundred and seventy six and one thousand six hundred and nineteen,
even as a former school
teacher as a civil rights
attorney, we are making an
assumption that the one thousand six hundred and nineteen theory
is equivalent to fact, as far as
what led to this country,
I dont see critical race theory
in our declaration of
Independence Constitution in
the articles of federation or
the constitutional convention.
This is a lie.
They are trying to equate
critical race theory unfounded
by any fact, with what facts we
have known for hundreds of
years.
This is the problem.
One other point: Brian Clean up
is very important.
You are pushing down critical
race theory to our young people.
You are teaching them how to
hate each other based on skin
color, not content, not
qualifications, not skill.
This is a threat to american
society because it effects our
young people.
Brian slavery is on every
continent. At that point, sadly,
one thousand seven hundred and seventy two, the British stopped slavery,
made it illegal,
but they left it in all their
caribbean provinces,
so it didnt, really change much
in our hemisphere.
Lets move on and something else
that got you passion.
You have a teaching background:
how about email come from
freedom of information, request
that showed the CDC director
consulting with the teachers
union in order to come up with
policies that helps lead to tens
of thousands of kids not being
in school, even though the
science says they should be in
school.
How do I feel about those
those s males and how I feel
about teachers, unions, how they
wrecked the public schools,
especially in people of color
communities of color?
I hate it. I hate it because it
is very clear to me that the
teachers unions, Joe Biden, do
not care about educating young
people who have already lost a
year and probably two years,
and let me be clear about this:
its all about money,
its all about power
and Brian. There is a
disconnect between the hierarchy
of these teacher unions and
teachers.
I believe that teachers want to
go back to school.
I think that teachers unions are
out for power and Control
Heres, the sad part about it.
They are getting the control,
they are implementing their
procedure and policy with the
CDC.
What do teachers have to do with
the CDC guidelines? Nothing,
but its a power grab by the
Biden administration,
Brian LEO the world revolves
around money.
Here we go. The American
Federation of teachers gave
two million to u dot sa actions.
The democratic group,
while that went to fourteen million to
the American Federation of
Teachers Union, gave more to
fourteen million between two thousand and nineteen and
two thousand and twenty
the National Education
Association. Another teachers
union gave more than twenty three dollars million
to liberal groups. So what do you
think they are going to do?
They are going to find a way to
keep their teachers hostage and
keep them out of the classroom
because they say its not safe.
That is a lie.
I im not going to mix any
words.
I really what I really want
to. What im telling you right
now is that they have found a
profitable situation of keeping
teachers at home because they
get an easy paycheck
guess who is suffering
the young kids and there is not
a threat of Covid 19 for
2 year olds, 5 year olds,
10 year olds, 1 year olds,
thats a big lie and they are
selling it. Unfortunately, we have
Joe Biden in charge of leading
this chaos
Brian Right
LEO Terrell, thanks so much.
