The Californians for Equal Rights Foundation was apparently canceled by the San Diego Union-Tribune after it tried to place a voter education ad that criticized critical race theory, according to a press release by the nonpartisan and nonprofit organization. The Union-Tribune stated that the group was presenting “opinions as facts” even though they provided “an item-by-item reference list of official documents to substantiate our statement that Poway Unified School District is teaching critical race theory.”
“Our attempt to expose the prevalence of CRT in PUSD in the forms of racial equity and ethnic studies was botched by a politically biased media platform,” said Frank Xu, president of CFER. “Not surprisingly, the Union-Tribune does not apply the same level of scrutiny to causes and advertisements they are ideologically aligned with.”
