Christopher Rufo To Expose Education Department’s Leftist Bias On Ben Shapiro Show

Journalist and activist Christopher Rufo will join Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro Friday to release exclusive footage documenting the left-wing ideological capture of the Department of Education.

Shapiro teased the interview on X, writing that Rufo will be joining his show tomorrow “to drop new exclusive bombshell clips and documents from the Department of Education,” adding, “You won’t see this anywhere else. Don’t miss it.”

“I’m sitting on a trove of insane videos, slides, and documents from the Department of Education. The whole department functions like a Ponzi scheme for left-wing ideologies,” Rufo remarked, adding that he was waiting for the moment of “maximum impact.”

President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing an executive order to shut down the Department of Education. Trump stated that he’d close the department during his campaign, saying in one video, “One other thing I’ll be doing very early in the administration is closing up the Department of Education in Washington, D.C., and sending all education and education work and needs back to the states.”

Rufo has begun releasing internal documents from the department, indicating that the executive agency has been captured by left-wing ideologues who’ve used the government to push gender ideology and critical race theory.

“The Education Department granted $8 million” of taxpayer funds to an organization behind a presentation on “Identifying and Disrupting Your Whiteness.” The organization advised over 7,000 school districts across the Midwest as it pushed far-left ideology and demonized the United States as a white supremacist society.

“The term whiteness refers to race privilege, a way of seeing the world, and a set of cultural practices that are usually unmarked and unnamed,” the presenter said. That same organization created a DOE-funded resource claiming that white people do not have “permission to accuse BIPOC of being racist” and arguing that black children must “decolonize the mind” from the effects of whiteness and capitalism.

The executive agency also partnered with “Welcoming Schools,” a left-wing organization that taught elementary school students “there are many ways to be a girl, boy, both, or neither.”

In 2023, the Department of Education partnered with “Welcoming Schools,” an NGO program that teaches elementary school children that they might be “pansexual,” use “they/them” pronouns, and imitate “non-binary animals.”

The organization also taught young children that they might be “pansexual” and can use “they/them” pronouns, all while discussing “non-binary” butterflies.
