[See NewsBusters for more.] On Tuesday, Stephanie Ruhle led a disjointed "For Facts Sake" segment on her MSNBC show that claimed Critical Race Theory is not taught in schools, but aspects will inevitably come up and that Democrats need to counter Republicans claims that is in schools, but also should embrace it.
