When it comes to calling out wokism, this is a very dynamic team. Christopher Rufo and Ben Shapiro team up to expose alleged leftist bias within the United States Department of Education. According to reports, the programs aim to “decolonize” whiteness and critique capitalism. Conservatives, including Donald Trump, support restructuring the Department of Education.
Rufo’s Revelations: Unveiling Alleged Bias in Education
Conservative activist Christopher Rufo plans to release what he claims is damning evidence of leftist bias within the United States Department of Education. Rufo, known for his criticism of critical race theory, claims to have obtained footage and documents revealing the department’s involvement in promoting critical race theory and gender diversity in the classroom.
The controversy has caught the attention of prominent conservative voices, including Ben Shapiro, who will host Rufo on his show to present these findings. Rufo’s allegations suggest that the Department of Education is functioning as a “Ponzi scheme for left-wing ideologies,” potentially influencing thousands of school districts across the nation.

Federal Funding and Controversial Programs
According to Rufo’s claims, the Department of Education granted $8 million to an organization promoting far-left ideology. This organization allegedly advised over 7,000 school districts and produced presentations on topics such as “Identifying and Disrupting Your Whiteness.” The materials reportedly claim that the United States is a white supremacist society and advise that white people cannot accuse BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) of racism.
“No, no, no, the United States was not founded on racism. I think that that is a total misunderstanding of history.” – Christopher Rufo
Furthermore, Rufo alleges that the Department of Education partnered with “Welcoming Schools,” a program that taught elementary students about gender identity and non-binary concepts. These revelations have reignited debates about the role of federal institutions in shaping educational content and policies.

Conservative Response and Calls for Reform
The disclosure of these alleged practices has galvanized conservative voices to call for significant changes in the Department of Education. Most notably, former President Donald Trump is reportedly planning an executive order to shut down the department entirely, aiming to return education responsibilities to individual states. This aligns with long-standing conservative principles of localized educational governance and reduced federal intervention.
“That’s true. But look, if you say “What was the United States founded on?” it’s a very specific question, and I’ll answer the question for you. The United States was founded on a vision of human nature, of natural rights, of equality and liberty.” – Christopher Rufo
The controversy surrounding these allegations highlights the ongoing cultural and political divide in America’s approach to education. As Rufo prepares to present his evidence, the nation watches closely, anticipating the potential impact on educational policies and the future structure of the Department of Education itself.
