FOX News Rundown EXTRA: A Deep Dive into Race, Politics & Thomas Sowell

Parents across the U.S. continue to speak out and protest against critical race theory (CRT) being taught in their children’s’ schools.

The controversial and complicated theory regarding racism in our country’s institutions has become a political lightning rod too as some Republican-led states are even passing legislation banning CRT from the classroom and arguing it should not be studied by our military either.

Earlier this week, Wall Street Journal columnist and FOX News contributor Jason Riley joined host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the theory, and why he and so many Americans object to how it is be implemented in our schools, corporations and government institutions.

However, our original conversation was not solely about CRT.

Riley recently released his latest book, Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell, where he looks in to the life, work and ideas of America’s most influential conservative writers and thinkers.

Riley explained how Sowell’s life experiences shaped his unique take on issues like race, economics and politics.
But because we did not have time to include our entire conversation with Riley, we aired very little of our discussion about Sowell and a handful of others issues related to history, race and equality.

On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire conversation with author and Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Riley and hear our entire fascinating conversation about race, politics and Thomas Sowell.
