FENTON, Mo. — The GOP nominee for U.S. Senate in Missouri spoke to a group of St. Louis County Republicans on Sunday and talked about concerns of "radical ideology" in schools.
Eric Schmitt, currently the state's attorney general, gave a campaign speech at the private event but stopped to talk with reporters for less than two minutes afterward. A Belgian television crew reporting on "culture wars" in the United States asked the nominee if children were "under threat" in schools.
"I think what's happened in a lot of our school districts is crazy," Schmitt said. "We've exposed a lot of them with this radical ideology, critical race theory, and people who tell you it's not happening in our schools, that's not truthful. That's not truthful at all."
