Nikki Haley calls for every governor in America to ban funding for critical race theory in schools

Former U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley on Monday eviscerated critical race theory, calling for "every governor in the United States" to "ban" the racially charged academic movement.

The former South Carolina governor argued teaching critical race theory will have "long-lasting effects" on children. Moreover, Haley asserted critical race theory does not need to be taught to children in kindergarten as it is on the collegiate level. Furthering her point, Haley recalled being "teased" as a kid for being Indian, sharing what her mother’s response was to the situation. "I remember getting teased when I was younger in rural South Carolina and my mom would say, your job is to show them how you're similar and not how you’re different," Haley said.
