That is not true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacCallum pointed out that two Texas school board candidates who opposed the teaching of Critical Race Theory in schools won by 40 points, adding, \u201cIf you raise children in this country believing that it\u2019s a bad country that was founded in wanting to preserve slavery, which is simply not true, then we\u2019ve got a problem in our school system. And apparently, people noticed it in that district in Texas, and they voted in people that they think are going to make sure that that is clear to all the parents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weingarten repeatedly dodged the question when MacCallum pressed her whether she thought the perspective of The 1619 Project was a \u201cfactual\u201d version of American history, first answering, \u201cI believe we should teach history.
