SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Editor and filmmaker Christopher Rufo has been focusing his research on critical race theory (CRT) in K–12 schools for the last four months.

Uncle Sam Needs You for a Counter-Psychological Warfare Strategy
Commentary Divide and conquer, or divide and rule, was a maxim Chinese strategist Sun Tzu stressed in 500 B.C.

The Coalition of the Un-Woke
Commentary The metastasis of the “woke” ideology is the most comprehensive threat facing the American republic.
