Christopher Rufo exposes the disturbing truth behind the radical left's takeover of American institutions. He details the roots of critical theory, tracing its path from 1960s radicalism to today's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bureaucracy. Rufo reveals how this movement has captured academia, media, corporations, and government, undermining individual rights and constitutional principles in pursuit of a divisive racial agenda. But all is not lost. The fight to preserve the American Republic, as outlined in this short, entails restoring America's founding values, rebuilding institutions, and protecting citizens' dignity and freedoms.
