Summary

The coronavirus pandemic has shed a light on schools and education across the U.S. from the obstacles of remote teaching, public schools not reopening fully for in-person learning and what children are actually being taught. Martha MacCallum, anchor and executive editor of "The Story" on the Fox News Channel and "The Untold Story" podcast, joins the "Rundown" to discuss 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. She also discusses school choice and if we'll see more of a push for it by parents and Republicans as Midterms approach. Plus, she weighs in on the fight over stripping Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) of her leadership role in the Republican Party. China has released census data revealing its population growth has dropped significantly, showing a big shift in the nation's demographics. President of Eurasia Group and GZERO Media, Ian Bremmer joins to explain how China's government made miscalculations in their demographics that resulted in their lagging population growth, the real motivation behind Chinese propaganda in the U.S. and how China's lack of transparency during the early days of the pandemic has hurt its standing in the world. Plus, commentary by Jim Daly, president of Focus on the Family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
