with promises to introduce a, quote, parents bill of rights, writing, quote, if the virginia results showed us anything, it's that parents are demanding more control and accountability in the classroom. joining us now is former republican congressman david jolly. national chairman of the serve america movement. and an msnbc contributor. and dr. robertson, director of the center for critical race studies at the university of houston downtown and co-editor of the book "critical race studies across disciplines." thank you so much, dr. robertson and david for joining me today. david, i have to start with this, and this is a thing i have felt about critical race theory all along. to me it is no different than the caravan or the birtherism and i hate the idea of platforming what is essentially a bad faith argument but people seem to believe it had an impact on virginia so as a former republican and political advisor, what do democrats do against what is inherently a dishonest and bad faith argument when it comes to politics?
