Liberal media, Democrats gaslighting on critical race theory: Jason Rantz

Radio host Jason Rantz discusses critical race theory as a potentially winning issue for Republicans in the 2022 midterms.

A research program promoted by the University of Texas at Austin instructs White children as young as four on how to deal with "anti-Black racism."

The program, known as "GoKar" with the KAR standing for "Kids Against Racism," is a voluntary study given to White caregiver-child pairs where the children are four and five years old and have not yet started kindergarten, according to College Fix.

The flyer states that the program includes various professional children’s videos and discussion guides and aims "to explore overall engagement with the GoKAR! Program as well the potential for the program to reduce bias and increase awareness of racism."

"Research projects conducted by over 6,000 university researchers cover a wide range of topics with a diversity of perspectives and approaches," the statement said. "The breadth of projects reflect the university’s commitment to freedom of thought, speech, and expression, along with long-standing principles of academic freedom. Because we also expect all research projects to comply with the law and university polices, the university is conducting a legal compliance review of the complaint before this study is launched."
