Surprise! Ted Cruz’s description of Ibram X. Kendi’s book was inaccurate.
In response to being asked about racist babies, Jackson answered by explaining that her role as a board member at Georgetown Day School was not to assess curriculum. “I do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they are racist, or though they are not valued, or though that they are less than, that they are victims, that they are oppressors,” Jackson said.
The school was founded in 1945 in Washington, D.C., at a time in which, by law, there was racial segregation in this community. Black students were not allowed in the public schools to go to school with white students.
Do you see how racist ideas of today are tied to racist ideas of the past? The phrase ‘Go back to where you came from’ that is sometimes said to Black and Brown people today connects to the ‘go back’ ideas of the past. Now you can trace the origins right back to Thomas Jefferson. The CRT line of questioning was, though, a table-setter for Cruz’s suggestion that Jackson is soft on those convicted of possessing child pornography.
