Roy Exum: Rufo Explains ‘Theory’ Wednesday, May 5, 2021 - by Roy Exum Roy Exum The Tennessee State Legislature, in its final week in session, is working tirelessly to ban “critical race theory” from being taught in the state’s public schools. Mind you, it is just a theory but has become a volatile subject in American politics and there is good reason. Unfortunately, some of the few, the liberal elites, have taken the challenge to advance the “critical race theory,” and the biggest problem with classroom turmoil is few really understand what it means or what’s at play. About six weeks ago Christopher Rufo gave a talk at the Hillsdale College on “What it is & How To Fight It.” His talk was summarized in Hillsdale’s “Imprimis,” a monthly speech digest of Hillsdale College “dedicated to educating citizens and promoting civil and religious liberty by covering cultural, economic, political, and educational issues.” Due to the Tennessee Legislature’s aggressive stance, allow me to share Rufo’s insight.
