Plus: Minnesota Foes of Critical Race Theory Accuse BLM, NAACP of ‘Trying to Shut Us Down’
June 23 2021
Good morning from Washington, where Senate Democrats fail to force a vote on a bill to tell states how to run their elections. Fred Lucas reports on what happened, and also on the status of Arizona’s audit of one county’s election results. On the podcast, the author of a new book on woke corporations describes the unfolding threat. Plus: free speech denied to opponents of critical race theory; President Biden revives California’s wasteful rail project; and Sen. Rick Scott presents a video on runaway government spending. On this date in 1972, Congress passes education amendments, known as Title IX, that prohibit federally funded educational institutions from discriminating based on sex.

“If wokeism is a religion, then an employer can no longer force that religion down the throat of their employees any more than they could force down … any other religion,” says Vivek Ramaswamy.
