Northam gives Ibram X. Kendi keynote speech as McAuliffe dismisses CRT concerns

Ibram X. Kendi, founder of the “anti-racism” movement, which critics say applies critical race theory, will deliver a “keynote plenary” speech at the Virginia Governor's Housing Conference.

McAuliffe, who faces a stiff election challenge from Republican Glenn Youngkin, has repeatedly dismissed parents' concerns about CRT. 

"Critical race theory is not taught in Virginia. Critical race theory has never been taught in Virginia. This is a racist dog whistle, and I hate it," he told CBS News in a recent interview. "Here you and I are talking about an issue that doesn't exist."
