The Daily Signal - This Father Explains How Parents are Fighting CRT in Loudoun County

Loudoun County, Virginia, has become the nucleus of a growing movement of parents and educators united against teaching Critical Race Theory, a philosophy that categorizes individuals into groups of oppressors and victims based on their race, in school.

Michael Rivera, a father of two from Loudoun County, is an outspoken advocate against Critical Race Theory and other proposed leftist policies coming from the Loudoun County school board.

"As I delve more into the actual academic writings of critical race theory, it gets more and more concerning and scarier because it doesn't seem like there is any point at which there is atonement for being an oppressor," Rivera says "or if there is any way to resolve the issues that are supposed to be systematic without essentially tearing down all of the social constructs and all of the norms and government and education."

Rivera joins The Daily Signal Podcast to discuss how leftist policies have affected him and his children, as well as what he and other parents are doing to fight back.

We also cover these stories:

  • The Director for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Rochelle Walensky says that fully vaccinated people are protected against the COVID-19 variants and do not need to wear a mask.
  • President Joe Biden issues directives on addressing wildfires in the West announcing that the administration will have annual briefings as wildfire season starts.
  • Four more bodies are found in the rubble of the Miami condo collapse.
  • The Miss Nevada crown is given to a person who identifies as transgender for the first time.

Short Wave - FEMA Has An Equity Problem

When a disaster like a hurricane or wildfire destroys a house, the clock starts ticking. It gets harder for sick people to take their medications, medical devices may stop working without electricity, excessive temperatures, mold, or other factors may threaten someone's health. Every day without stable shelter puts people in danger.

The federal government is supposed to help prevent that cascade of problems, but an NPR investigation finds that the people who need help the most are often less likely to get it. NPR climate reporter Rebecca Hersher explains.
