You know, Maria, if you asked 10 different people what is critical race theory, you get 10 different answers,\u201d Jones explained to Fox Business\u2019 Maria Bartiromo. \u201cSo, we do know one thing that everybody knows is race-based. And if you teach it in school, it\u2019s racism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bartiromo pointed out that kids are being labeled as racists before they have a chance to speak their minds. \u201cTell me about the impact to this on our population.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSee, Maria, that\u2019s what I was saying earlier. You ask 10 different people, you get 10 different definitions. It\u2019s been taught different ways in different schools, and it\u2019s being abused,\u201d the gubernatorial candidate explained. \u201cAnd the problem is you are taking young people who are next to another young person and pitting one against the other, and you say to even white children, \u2018Look, you\u2019re responsible for what happened hundreds and hundreds of years ago,\u2019 and they don\u2019t have a clue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it being race-based, and you are teaching in a way that you\u2019re teaching racism. It does not make any sense. I\u2019m totally against it. Georgia shouldn\u2019t have it. I call on our governor to stop it,\u201d Jones explained. \u201cI was with the local school board just recently the other night. I had my representative there saying, \u2018Look, ban it in those local schools.\u2019 There is no place for critical race theory. We can\u2019t talk about history. We can\u2019t talk about things we know about, teach about things we don\u2019t know about, where it\u2019s becoming abusive. And it\u2019s racism and race-based. What else can you say? It just should not be taught.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Georgia gubernatorial candidate fights critical race theory: &#039;It&#039;s racism&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HBNo2qPv6Pg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>At the end of April, Idaho became the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/first-in-nation-idahos-republican-gov-signs-bill-banning-critical-race-theory\">first<\/a> state to ban critical race theory. Oklahoma and Tennessee quickly followed suit, per a report from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-9575039\/Three-GOP-states-banned-critical-race-theory.html\">The Daily Mail<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/foxbaltimore.com\/news\/nation-world\/states-push-back-against-critical-race-theory-in-education\">Sinclair Broadcast Group<\/a>, other states, including Arizona, Texas, Georgia, Arkansas, South Dakota, and Arizona have moved forward with similar legislation that would bar the controversial curriculum from being taught in schools.<\/p>\n<p>Critical race theory is based on the 1619 project, which New York Times writer Nike Hannah-Jones played a vital role in writing. The central theme behind the Project\u2019s conclusion is 1619 is the year slaves were brought from Africa to the United States, which they claim is when America was actually founded. The Project also surmises that the American Revolution was fought to preserve slavery. Both of those arguments are factually inaccurate. America\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/livestream-ben-shapiro-america-wasnt-built-on-slavery\">foundation<\/a> was solidified in 1776. The American Revolution was fought so that the United States could gain independence from Great Britain.<\/p>\n<p>Major historians, among them Pulitzer-Prize winners, have blasted the 1619 Project for its inaccuracy, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/pulitzer-prize-awarded-to-creator-of-widely-derided-1619-project-from-the-new-york-times\/\">reported here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
