Liberal hosts The View and President Biden’s Secretary of Education, Miguel Cardona, teamed up today to lie about Critical Race Theory in public K-12 schools.
The whole interview with Cardona was set up as an “us vs. them” conflict, with parents being the antagonists to the Biden administration. Joy Behar was the first to complain about parents who are hesitant about vaccinations. Behar was proud of the COVID-19 vaccinations California has made compulsory for all school-age children and begged for the federal government not to do so.
California, however, has made it clear that the state will mandate in-person learning after the shots are approved. What is the time frame? A few weeks or months? Are covid vaccines to eventually become mandatory in schools, just like all other vaccines?
Cardona said that he would like to see mandates at local levels, but he disappointed her. Next, it was Sara Haines’ turn to whine about troublesome parents getting in the way of the left’s agenda. While ABC played a montage of heated school board meetings, Haines’ fretted, “Because school board meetings are so unproductive and contentious, the DOJ will now step in to help protect members of the board, as well as staff, from any threats.” She failed to mention how the DOJ was targeting parents as domestic terrorists.
Haines asked Cardona how the government could address the “outrage” over COVID mandates and Critical Race Theory.
Cardona opined how schools were like a “second family” to most kids and educators had the kids’ best interests in mind, so more trust from parents was needed: “Yes, let’s engage with our families, let’s hear the voices. But let’s also trust that our educators know what to do to keep our children safe and keep them learning together, which is where they learn best.” It was all very nice. But he didn’t mention why the parents were so angry. Sunny Hostin was next to go, inviting Cardona onto the political stage and criticizing Glenn Youngkin, Virginia’s GOP governoral candidate.
The Republican nominee for the presidency was just announced in Virginia this week [sic] put out an attack ad featuring a mother who objected to her child reading Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer prize winning novel “Beloved,” which was about the horrors of slavery, really. What’s your take about how race and racism should be taught? How much should parents get involved in this issue?
After the secretary praised the book, he again emphasized how parents needed to trust their kids’ schools to educate them properly. “When we trust our educators we can teach our students to be it critical thinkers and learn about the history, even the parts we’re not proud of but still unify us under one flag as Americans. We can do that,” he touted to applause.
That’s when the hosts encouraged Cardona to unabashedly lie about CRT being taught in schools:
HOSTIN – Is Critical Race Theory being taught in schools through the K-12 curriculum, or is it just a rumor?
CARDONA No.
JOY BEHAR: Please repeat that.
CARDONA [shaking head]But it’s not.
ANA NAVARRO : Critical Race Theory does not teach K-12. It’s a simple statement that I can repeat. It’s also possible to say it in Spanish.
BEHAR: Anyone age?
CARDONA Law School.
BEHAR: Law school.
HOSTIN: We are grateful for your clarification.
This is not true. Cardona is also guilty of encouraging CRT both at the local and federal levels. When he was Connecticut’s education commissioner, Cardona created the mandatory CRT curriculum that high school students must learn in schools.
After becoming Secretary of Education, DOE sought to require pro-CRT nonsense be taught in federal K-12 schools, but was forced to halt by strong parental resistance.
But The ViewLike the rest, they were trying to fool voters by being propagandists for Biden’s administration.

SARA HAINES, Secretary: School board meetings have become so tense and incontinence that the DOJ has stepped in to defend school employees, board members, and school officials from any threats. Let’s take a look at a small sample of what’s happening.
HAINES – The outrage at everything, covid mandates and Critical Race Theory is palpable. But how do we handle this situation when so many of these issues are now politicized?
JOY BEHAR – How did this happen? The people are angry.
MIGUEL CADRONA: It seems like there is so much frustration and division. However, schools are places where people can unite. What our children missed most was that sense community. This feels almost like a second home and our educators all across the country have my complete trust in them to do that. [ Applause ]Take a look at the 18-months of their work. Let’s not get into politics. Let’s be honest, we should engage with our families and let them hear us. But let’s also trust that our educators know what to do to keep our children safe and keep them learning together which is where they learn best.
SUNNY HOSTIN: I agree. [ Applause ]You know what, secretary? It’s wonderful to have you around. Because my mother is from Puerto Rico, she is proud to have you as a teacher.
This issue has been politicized, as Sara noted on the campaign trail.
The Republican nominee for the presidency was just announced in Virginia this week [sic] put out an attack ad featuring a mother who objected to her child reading Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer prize winning novel “Beloved,” which was about the horrors of slavery, really. What’s your take about how race and racism should be taught? What role should parents play in this particular issue?
CARDONA. You know, the passion runs very high. I would love to see my children read Toni Morrison’s books. It’s an excellent piece and an award-winning one. It speaks to the fact that we have a job to do as educators to bring our families together, to unify and I do believe that we, when we trust our educators we can teach our students to be it critical thinkers and learn about the history, even the parts we’re not proud of but still unify us under one flag as Americans. That is possible. That’s possible. This is the job of educators. This is possible, and I am confident in their abilities. They’re ready for this.
HOSTIN – Is Critical Race Theory being taught in schools through the K-12 curriculum, or is it just a rumor?
CARDONA No.
JOY BEHAR: Please repeat that.
CARDONA [shaking head]But it’s not.
