Summary

Parents across the U.S. are speaking out against critical race theory (CRT) being taught being as part of their school's curriculum for Kindergarten to 12th grade. Some Republican-led states are even passing legislation banning CRT from being taught in schools. The controversial topic is even causing debate on whether the U.S. military should be allowed to study it, but what exactly is critical race theory? Former Political Director of Priorities USA and Democratic strategist Kristal Knight, and Wall Street Journal columnist and FOX News contributor Jason Riley explain what CRT is and they discuss whether it should be taught in the classroom. Former President Trump and Texas Governor Greg Abbott are visiting the Southern border to survey the unfinished border wall and highlight the new administration's policy issues. While President Biden has redirected funding and suspended the previous administration's efforts to construct a wall between the U.S. and Mexico, Governor Abbott announced that the state of Texas will provide $250 million to continue building the border wall. Fox Business Network Correspondent Grady Trimble joins the Rundown from the border to explain the influx of migrant activity in the area former President Trump and Governor Abbott will be touring, growing concerns about drug smuggling, and the personal accounts of border control officials who say they're not getting enough help from the federal government. Plus, commentary by FOX News correspondent-at-large, Geraldo Rivera. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
