U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday grilled Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson about her views on critical race theory, reading passages and showing pages from books including “Antiracist Baby” that are taught at a D.C. private school where she is a board member.

Cruz used much of his time questioning Jackson on the second day of her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee focusing on the curriculum at the school, the Georgetown Day School, which he said is “filled and overflowing with critical race theory.” Jackson said the Georgetown Day School was founded in 1945, during a time of legal segregation, by a group of white Jewish parents and Black parents, who wanted their children to be able to attend school together. The ideals of equality and justice are “at the core” of the school’s mission, she said.

Pressed more broadly about her views of critical race theory, Jackson said her “understanding is that critical race theory is an academic theory that is about the ways in which race interacts with various institutions.”“I have not reviewed any of those books, any of those ideas,” Jackson said. “They don’t come up in my work as a judge, which I am respectfully here to address.”

No one with decent morals should give a shit about what Rafael Cruz says-a man that until he got flack about calling out Beto about his name didn't even acknowledge he changed his name to Ted when he moved to Am. Don't forget the lying, racism, bigotry, misogyny, hate speech,
