Meet this mother whose mission is to inform Americans and ensure that her beloved adopted country remains the 'Land of the Free.'
Independent Women’s Forum is pleased to announce that Xi Van Fleet, a Loudoun County mother who uses her experiences growing up in Mao’s Cultural Revolution to warn American families about the dangers of Critical Race Theory, is the latest in our popular series of Champion Women profiles.
Xi burst on the scene last summer when she addressed the Loudoun County School Board, and her remarks went viral. Pretty soon she received an invitation to be on Hannity. She wondered if she could do it but aced the interview. Since then, she has been in great demand to share her message.
“I’ve been very alarmed by what’s going on in our schools," Fox News quoted Xi as telling the Loudoun County School Board members. "You are now teaching, training our children to be social justice warriors and to loathe our country and our history. Growing up in China, all of this sounds very familiar. The communist regime used the same critical theory to divide people. The only difference is that [they] used class instead of race. This is indeed the American version of the Chinese Cultural Revolution.”
Xi, who came to the United States in 1986 when she was 26, told IWF that she has been watching the development of what she believes are parallels with China under Mao and her adopted country for nearly a decade. But the riots of the summer of 2020 convinced her that the process had reached a critical point. “I could not remain an observer,” she told IWF. “I had to do something.”
Xi’s mission is to inform Americans and do her best to ensure that her beloved adopted country remains the Land of the Free. You’ll enjoy meeting Xi, but just as important, we all need to hear her story.
