STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): We've also, over the last couple of weeks, been talking about how in a number of school districts, they are pushing this critical race theory. Essentially it all boils down to you're either -- ultimately because of your skin color, you're either an oppressor or you're a victim. One of the hotspots for this debate is Loudon County, which is just to the west of Washington, D.C. And over the last couple of days, there was a Loudon County mom whose son graduated from Loudon County high school in 2015 and her name is XI Van Fleet, and she survived and escaped China after the revolution. Remember, 20 million people died in that revolution. She ripped the school board the other night and said it's a norm of neo-racism. She was very brave standing in front of those people.

DOOCY: So, she's saying let's not make the same mistake here.
BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): So what you see is the Chinese also spending a ton of money to do just what she's saying they did then. They are in every aspect of our system, the college system, the education system, the political system, the smallest congressman, the biggest university, the biggest school like The University of Texas. I would not be surprised if they are somehow pushing an agenda through willing surrogates that is helping to destroy our country first and foremost in our school system which is outraging us currently right now. My fear is we're going to get used to it.
