Ted Cruz is dazed and confused

Ted Cruz says critical race theory is as racist as 'Klansmen in white sheets'

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed critical race theory during a speech Friday at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Road to Majority Conference, calling it "bigoted."

"It is a lie," the Republican Texas senator said of critical race theory, which advances the idea that students should learn about how race and racism has affected American society in the past and present day. "And it is every bit as racist as a Klansmen in white sheets."




"Critical race theory says every white person is a racist," Cruz stated. "Critical race theory says America is fundamentally racist and irredeemably racist. Critical race theory seeks to turn us against each other."

He added, "As a Christian and as an American, I love my brothers and sisters whatever skin color you are."
