Summary

The coronavirus pandemic has shed a light on schools and sparked a figurative battle over America's classrooms. For months, the nation has not just been debating remote learning and when schools should reopen, but what children are actually being taught. Earlier this week, host Lisa Brady spoke with Martha MacCallum, anchor and executive editor of "The Story" on the Fox News Channel and "The Untold Story" podcast, about her recent interview with American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten about the "1619 Project" and critical race theory being taught in classrooms across the country. The conversation also touched on school choice and other political issues that could potential play a role in next year's midterm elections. The interview was too long and we could not fit all of it in our original segment. However, there was a lot of interesting analysis from Martha MacCaullum that you did not hear. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you can finally listen to our entire conversation with the FOX News anchor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
