In a disturbing segment of Wednesday’s World News Tonight, ABC came out in support of poisoning the minds of students with Critical Race Theory. And instead of showing the parents of Loudoun County, Virginia rising up against their radical school board who wanted to teach it to their kids, the network promoted Joint Chiefs Chairman, General Mark Milley defending the teaching of the racist theory to West Point cadets.
Leading into the segment, sensationalist anchor David Muir downplayed Critical Race Theory’s true nature by describing it as “the military's new diversity efforts.” And he lauded the General for “firing back against Republican critics” at a hearing earlier in the day.
“America's top general today made an impassioned defense of the education that soldiers receive at West Point, after a Republican congressmen accused the military academy of embracing divisive theories on race,” added chief Washington correspondent Jonathan Karl.
He then played a soundbite of Florida Republican Congressman Michael Waltz, who called out West Point for teaching racism to cadets. “A seminar that over 100 cadets attended, titled, ‘Understanding whiteness and white rage’, taught by a woman who described the Republican Party platform as a platform of white supremacy,” he said to Milley.
Milley disgustingly defended Critical Race Theory by suggesting it would help cadets understand why the Capitol Riot happened (Click “expand”):
I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read. And the U.S. Military Academy is a university. And it is important that we train and we understand -- and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white. And I want to understand it. So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.
“He went on to say there's nothing wrong with studying controversial ideas. In fact, it's important,” Karl boasted.
The General went on to whine that he “personally” found it “offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, noncommissioned officers, of being, quote, ‘woke’ or something else, because we're studying some theories that are out there.”
Now, as Muir was coming back for a live shot with Karl, they had some audio issues but the latter seemed to make a statement about an effort to “censor the study of America's troubling history on race.”
What ABC tried to hide from their viewers was the fact a multiracial coalition of parents was standing up to Critical Race Theory being thought to their kids. “Meanwhile emotions are running high tonight in a suburban Washington school district and at times it's getting physical. The issue is about political correctness and Critical Race Theory in the classroom,” announced Special Report fill-in anchor Bill Hemmer.
In a soundbite, one black parent put it bluntly: “My child is not oppressed, and don’t assume that. As long as you Marxists push your unconstitutional agenda on my child, she will not be returning to Loudoun County schools.”
“There are two hot button issues right now in Loudoun County public schools that have been simmering for months,” reported correspondent Mike Emanuel. “One is transgender policy, the other is critical race theory. Parents are worried that curriculum change will divide the children and teach them to see skin color.”
Former Virginia State Senator Dick Black (R) also gave the school board a piece of his mind. “Your teaching children to hate others because of their skin color and you're forcing them to lie about other kids’ gender,” he forcefully told them off.
No wonder ABC wanted to hide it from their viewers.
ABC’s support for a poisonous curriculum for student was made possible because of lucrative sponsorships from Allstate and CARFAX. Their contact information is linked so you can tell them about the biased news they fund.

JON KARL: America's top general today made an impassioned defense of the education that soldiers receive at West Point, after a Republican congressmen accused the military academy of embracing divisive theories on race, citing one class in particular.
REP. MICHAEL WALTZ (R-Florida): A seminar that over 100 cadets attended, titled, "Understanding whiteness and white rage", taught by a woman who described the Republican Party platform as a platform of white supremacy. This is going on at West Point as we speak to our future military leaders.
GEN. MARK MILLEY: I do think it's important, actually, for those of us in uniform to be open-minded and be widely read. And the U.S. Military Academy is a university. And it is important that we train and we understand -- and I want to understand white rage, and I'm white. And I want to understand it. So, what is it that caused thousands of people to assault this building and try to overturn the Constitution of the United States of America? What caused that? I want to find that out.
KARL: He went on to say there's nothing wrong with studying controversial ideas. In fact, it's important.
MILLEY: I've read Mao Tse-Tung. I've read Karl Marx. I've read Lenin. That doesn't make me a communist. So, what is wrong with understanding, having some situational understanding about the country for which we are here to defend?
And I personally find it offensive that we are accusing the United States military, our general officers, our commissioned, noncommissioned officers, of being, quote, “woke” or something else, because we're studying some theories that are out there.
