Megyn Kelly supports effort to ban critical race theory

Rufo's announcement came on Wednesday after President Joe Biden signed an executive order that rescinded the 1776 Commission, which sought to eliminated critical race theory and promote patriotic education.

Rufo stated, "Today, President Biden doubled-down on critical race theory in the federal government. In response, I am announcing a new coalition of legal foundations and private attorneys that will wage relentless legal warfare against race theory in America’s institutions. The fight is on."

Megyn Kelly expressed vocal support around the idea. "THIS IS THE ANSWER. THE LAW. These indoctrination sessions are unlawful. Studies have shown they create *more*, not less, racism. Good for you, @realchrisrufo," said the former Fox News host.

Rufo defined critical race theory in his press release. "Critical race theory is a grave threat to the American way of life. It divides Americans by race and traffics in the pernicious concepts of race essentialism, racial stereotyping, and race-based segregation—all under a false pursuit of ‘social justice.’ Critical race theory training programs have become commonplace in academia, government, and corporate life, where they have sought to advance the ideology through cult-like indoctrination, intimidation, and harassment."

Rufo has created a website where people can sign up to be kept up to date on the progress of this coalition.
