>> Todd: A FOX NEWS ALERT NOW,
AND IT IS A WHOPPER.
A NUMBER OF BLUE STATES HAVE
BEEN USING YOUR TAXPAYER
DOLLARS, COVID-19 RELIEF FUNDS
TO PUSH CRITICAL RACE THEORY IN
THE CLASSROOM.
DEMOCRATS CASTING THE AMERICAN
RESCUE PLAN IN 2021 AND PROVIDED
OVER $122 BILLION FOR ELEMENTARY
AND SECONDARY SCHOOLS, OVER
$46 MILLION ALLOCATED TO 36
STATES TO INCLUDE PROGRAMS ON
IMPLICIT BIAS, ETHNIC STUDIES,
LGBTQ D COMPETENCY AND
ANTIRACISM TRAINING.
OF COURSE, DEMOCRAT LEADERS SAY
THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN IS A
MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
WITH THAT, LET’S BRING IN
DEFENDING EDUCATION FOUNDER,
NICOLE NEILY, THIS WAS PUBLISHED
HOURS AGO.
WHAT IS YOUR REACTION?
>> WHAT IS APPALLING AND IT IS
ALSO UNSURPRISING.
I MEAN, LET’S LOOK AT THE
DEPARTMENT THE USED IN 2021 WHEN
THEY PASSED THIS.
ANY OF US THOUGHT IT WAS GOING
TO BE USED FOR MASKS, AIR
PURIFIERS TO KEEP THE SCHOOLS
OPEN APPEARED WE WERE TOLD BY
SENATOR RAPHAEL WARNOCK THIS IS
A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
THE DEPARTMENT SANG WE WANT TO
ADDRESS SOCIAL, MENTAL AID AND
ADDRESS IN EQUITIES.
TOBIT IS KIND OF FRAMEWORK WHERE
YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT THE
DEPARTMENT IS GOING FOR.
I’M NOT SURPRISED THE BLUE
STATES HAVE BEEN USING THESE
PROGRAMS TO PUSH THEIR SOCIAL
JUSTICE AGENDA.
>> Todd: LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT
THE NUMBERS AND DRILL DOWN.
A CALIFORNIA AWARDING
$15.1 BILLION AND LOOK WHAT THEY
USED IT FOR APPEARED A LOT OF
WOKE STUFF.
NEW YORK $9 BILLION, ILLINOIS
$5.1 BILLION.
NICOLE, IF I’M A RESTAURANT
OWNER AND WITH THE STATES CALLED
BY THE DEMOCRATIC TO SHUT DOWN
COME I HAVE TO SHUT DOWN, NO
CHOICE, OTHERWISE I WILL GO TO
JAIL.
AND I LOST MY LIVELIHOOD BECAUSE
OF THIS, BILLIONS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS PUT INTO THESE SCHOOLS
TO TURN MY KIDS INTO AN
ACTIVIST, WHAT IS MY REACTION
THIS MORNING?
>> WHAT IS APPALLING AND IT IS
SICKENING.
WE HAVE INFLATION GOING THROUGH
THE BRICK BECAUSE THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT PRINTING MONEY TO
ADVANCE THEIR AGENDA.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING SOUNDS
GREAT.
OF COURSE WE WANT OUR CHILDREN
TO BE EMOTIONALLY AWARE, BUT WE
ACTUALLY LOOK AT WHAT THESE
PROGRAMS ARE.
THESE ARE CRITICAL RACE THEORY.
WE HAVE PEOPLE LIKE PUSHING
TRANSFORMATIVE AND TALKING ABOUT
CULTURAL RESPONSIVE AND THINGS
LIKE IMPLICIT BIAS.
OF COURSE THEY WILL TRIP HIM
BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT
THIS DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
WANTS TO DO.
AND THESE EDUCATION BUREAUCRATS
AT THE STATE AND LOCAL LEVEL
WANT TO DO.
>> Todd: MEANTIME YOUR
ORGANIZATION AND PASSIVE RIGHT
GROUP SENDING A LETTER TO
SECRETARY IT EDUCATION NOT TO
REWRITE THE TRUMP ERA TITLE NINE
POLICY.
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS FIGHT IS
REALLY ALL ABOUT.
>> SURE HERE AND SO IN 2020,
BETSY DeVOS AND TRUMP
ADMINISTRATION PUT IN PLACE
TERRIFIC SAFEGUARDS THAT
PROTECTED STUDENTS AND OTHER
ADMINISTRATORS DUE PROCESS
RIGHTS, STRENGTH AND FREE SPEECH
PROTECTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
TRAMPLED BY THE OBAMA BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION, TITLE 19
DISCRIMINATES ON THE BASIS OF
SEX TO BE REWRITTEN.
GENDER IDENTITY IN THE SPIRIT
WHICH MEANS SCHOOLS AND
INDIVIDUALS NOW HAVE TO PUSH
FORWARD THE SOCIAL JUSTICE
AGENDA.
IF THIS HAS SOMETHING THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WANTS TO
DO, THEN THEY HAVE TO HAVE
CONGRESS REREAD THE STATUTE.
THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THE
ADMINISTRATION CAN DO WITH A PEN
AND A PHONE AS MANY OPPONENTS IN
THE FIGHT WANT TO DO.
>> Todd: HOW DISASTROUS WOULD
THIS BE, QUITE FRANKLY, FOR
LITTLE GIRLS IF THIS GOES
THROUGH?
>> RIGHT.
IT IS HORRIFYING.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS WE
ARE GOING TO SEE SAFETY ISSUES
COME UP.
WE SEE THIS IN SPORTS ISSUES,
WOMEN AS BIOLOGICAL MALES AND
THE LOSS OF PRIVACY, SINGLE-SEX
FROM RESTROOMS TO LOCKER ROOMS
TO EVEN OVERNIGHT FIELD TRIPS
STUDENTS WILL HAVE TO BE HOUSED
WITH OTHER PEOPLE WITH WHOM THEY
IDENTIFY.
SO COME I THINK A LOT OF
PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS HAVE
SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS THAT ARE
JUSTIFIABLE CONCERNS.
PEOPLE WHO EXPRESSED WORRY ABOUT
THIS ARE CALLED BIGOTS, TRANCE
FOLDS AND THAT’S NOT TRUE.
I THINK PARENTS WANT TO KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON AND FAMILIES
ARE BEING CUT OUT OF THE REGULAR
BASIS FROM ISSUES LIKE THIS IN
SCHOOLS AND SO WE WANTED TO FLAG
FOR THE ADMINISTRATION 390,000
PEOPLE WANT THESE RULES TO NOT
BE CHANGED.
>> Todd: THE SMALL MINORITY
ACTIVIST, NICOLE, WHO WANTS
THESE CHANGES?
>> IT IS A GREAT QUESTION, WE
SEE THESE AGENDAS WITH ACTIVE
ORGANIZATIONS, THE TREVOR
PROJECT, HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN
BUT AGAIN AS YOU IMPLY, THIS IS
A SMALL GROUP OF ACTIVISTS.
THIS IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF
THE VAST MAJORITY OF AMERICANS
WHO IF THIS IS A CHANGE THE
GOVERNMENT WANTS TO MAKE SHOULD
DO IT THROUGH THE PROPER
PROCESS, NOT THROUGH
ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION.
