so you agree critical race theory is taught at georgetown day school? >> i don't know. because the board is not -- the board does not control the curriculum. the board does not focus on that. that's not what we do as board members. so i'm actually not sure. >> well, and i'll note that the board is chaired by professor fairfax, your college roommate who introduced you yesterday. the two of you serve on the board together. another book that is on the summer reading for third through fifth grade is a book called "stamp for kids" again by ibram kendi. i read the entirety of the book and i will say it is an astonishing book. on page 33 it asks the question, "can we send white people back to europe?" that's on 33. that's what's being given to 8 and 9 years old. it also on page 115 says, "the idea that we should pretend not to see racism is connected to the idea that we should pretend not to see color. it's called color blindness." skipping ahaerngsd here's what's wrong with this, it's ridiculous, skin color is something we all absolutely see. skpg ahead, "so to pretend not to

>> senator, i'm not rememberin exactly what quote you are referencing, but georgetown de school >> it was in a book, and you gave the quote >> georgetown de school, is private school >> i'm asking if you agree tha schools can teach children tha they can choose their gender >> senator, i'm not making comments about what's school can teach. >> let me ask you this then, united states versus virginia, the supreme court struck dow vmas mail only admission - writing for the majority justin skin spoke stated supposed inherent difference are no longer accepted as ground for race or nationa origin classifications physical differences between men and women, however, ar enduring the two sexes are not fungible i community made up exclusivel of one sex is different from a community composed of both do you agree with justic ginsburg, that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring? >> senator, respectfully, i' not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it's hard for me to comment -- >> all right, i'd love to ge your opinion on that, and yo can submit that. do yo

and those at georgetown, we'll have time for questions later on. now let's get started with our roundtable. mirka, you're a student government leader. you do so much work coordinating volunteer opportunities for georgetown students for the migrant community here in d.c. and you grew up in texas. you have a unique perspective -- you have a unique perspective here. you've been living through the covid-19 pandemic, looking to this past two years, what do you think the development for covid, what did it reveal about us and our nation? what has it been like for you and your friends and your family? mirka: so yeah, i think the pandemic caused a series of events that really revealed injustices and inequities among our society but even among different communities. so these inequities were very existent before, but i think they were also amplified and we can see that through -- circumstances where some people were getting wealth and privilege while others were losing it. i remember in march, 2020, right when the lockdown was about to start, i was in an alte

cruz: you agree critical race theory is taught at georgetown day school? judge jackson: i do not know because the board does not control the curriculum. the board does not focus on that. that is not what we do as board members, so i am not sure. >> senator feinstein, who voted for nine supreme court nominees, began her questioning with a question she has asked previous nominees. sen. feinstein: one of the issues i often discussed with nominees, particularly the supreme court is the issue of abortion. i have asked the three most recent supreme court nominees about this issue, so i would like to discuss it with you today. in 2017 i asked justice gorsuch about this during his confirmation hearing. i asked him to expand on a comment he had made about his belief that precedent is important because it and stability to the law. in response, justice gorsuch reiterated his belief that precedent is important because, and i quote, once a case is settled, that adds to the determine and see of the law -- determinancy of the law. he also stated that roe had been reaffir

georgetown day school is a private school, it's not a public school. >> i'm fully aware. and you mentioned that you said, that you thought he meant that critical race theory isn't being taught in public schools, correct? but, we know that's not the case. we know that critical race theory is been pushing our k through 12 schools, and i've got a letter here, mister chairman, that senator tuberville and i wrote last year to the national education association on this issue, i'd like to submit that to the record, because it's relevant to our discussion. >> without objection. >> we had i manage the ante a for adopting crt materials during their annual organizing meetings, and proposing to spend $127,000 impeachers dues to combat opponents of critical race theory. there are countless reports of crt being pushed in the public school system, and a lot of parents that i work with every day, every week, don't have the funds to send their child to a private school. they are relying on the school systems, the public school systems, and it is important to them to have a supreme court t

she is on the board of trustees of georgetown day school. here is what we heard from senator ted cruz. >> if you look at the georgetown day school's curriculum, it is filled and over flowing with critical race theory. that among the books that are ee either asuper bowled or reco -- assigned or recommended. they include a book called anti-racist basic. there are portion of this book that i find really quite remarkable. one portion of the book says babies are taught to be racist or anti-racist. there is no neutrality. another portion of the big, they recommend babies confess when being racist. this is a book that is taught at ge georgetown day school 4 through 7 years old. do you agree with this book that is being taught that babies are racist? >> senator, i do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they are racist or they are not valued or though they are less than. >> the gop has been telegraphing that this punch would come. they tweeted out scratching out kbj and writing crt. what do you think about this exchange we jus

and those at georgetown, we'll have time for questions later on. now let's get started with our roundtable. mirka, you're a student government leader. you do so much work coordinating volunteer opportunities for georgetown students for the migrant community here in d.c. and you grew up in texas. you have a unique perspective -- you have a unique perspective here. you've been living through the covid-19 pandemic, looking to this past two years, what do you think the development for covid, what did it reveal about us and our nation? what has it been like for you and your friends an and your friends and family? >> i think that the pandemic really caused a series of events that really revealed the n equities among our society. but even among different communities. so, these inequities were very existent before, but i think they were also amplified. and we can see that in the circumstances where some people were gaining wealth and privilege while others were removing it. i remember in march, 2020 when the lockdown was about to start. i was in an alterna

the idea of a quality justice is at the core of the georgetown day school mission. it is a private school such that every parent who joins the community does so willingly with an understanding that they are joining a community designed to make sure every child is valued. every child is treated as having inherent worth and none are discriminated against because of race. sen. cruz: judge jackson, everybody will agree that nobody should be discriminated against because of race. when you testified a minute ago if you did not know critical race theory was caught in k-12 i confess i find that statement hard to reconcile with the public record because if you look at the georgetown day school curriculum, it is filled and overflowing with critical race theory. among the books that are either assigned or recommended, they include critical race theory: an introduction. they included the end of policing, advocacy for abolishing police. they include how to be an antiracist. they include stacks of stocks and -- stacks and stacks of books. they include a book called antiracist bab

>> that is correct. >> in regard to the georgetown day school you've publicly said "since becoming a member of the g.d.s. community seven years ago, patrick and i have witnessed the transformative power of a riggous progressive education that is dedicated to fostering critical thinking, interdependence and social justice." when you refer to social justice in the school's mission on social justice, what did you mean by that? >> thank you, senator, for allowing me to address this issue. georgetown day school has a special history that i think is important to understand when you consider my service on that board. the school was founded in 1945 in washington, d.c. at a time in which by law there was racial segregation in this community. black students were not allowed in the public schools to go to school with white students. georgetown day school is a private school that was created when three white families, jewish families got together with three black families and said that despite the fact that the law requires us to separate, despite the fact that the law is set up to make sure tha

judge jackson: georgetown day school is a private school. sen. blackburn: i'm asking, do you agree that schools should teach children that they can choose their gender? judge jackson: senator, i'm not making comments about what schools can teach. sen. blackburn: let me ask you this. the united states versus virginia, the supreme court struck down the admission policy , writing for the majority, justice ginsburg stated, supposed inherent differences are no longer accepted as ground for race or national origin classifications. physical distancing's between men and women, however, are enduring. the two sexes are not fungible. a community made up exclusively of one sex is different from a community composed of both. do you agree with justice ginsburg that there are physical differences between men and women that are enduring? judge jackson: um, senator, respectfully, i am not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it's hard for me to comment as to whether or not -- sen. blackburn: i would love to get your opinion on that, and you can submit

i knew she was a great teacher because she taught at my alma mater georgetown. she was voted best teacher in the faculty by students. i thought she would be a clear voice in the united nations for the world we were trying to build. keep in mind, my first term was the first fulterm any president had served since the end of the cold war. former president bush had more than half of his time there, too. i thought it was really important that we build alliances and stand up for freedom because just because the berlin wall fell, the soviet union broke apart, it did not mean there were no more enemies of democracy and the rule of law . i thought she was important. that she was great at handling the issues around bosnia and later, as secretary of state, with kosovo and many other things that we did, asia and latin america around the world, peace and freedom and security. judy: born in czechoslovakia, she was part of eastern europe. a woman for that era with so much change in that part of the world. >> she was, and you know, she interfamily basically had to leave czechos

school. >> so you agree critical race theory is taught at georgetown day school? >> i don't know, because the board is not-- does not control the curriculum. the board does not focus on that. that is not what we do as board members, so i am actually not sure. >> yang: jackson defended her judicial record, and she said she rules with neutrality. >> i am acutely aware that, as a judge in our system, i have limited power, and i am trying in every case to stay in my lane. >> yang: republicans like texas senator john cornyn pushed back. >> where you deferred answering, saying you want to stay in your lane and not be seen as a policy-maker-- would you agree with me that one of the most important questions under our constitutional form of government and the separation of powers is who decides? >> yang: jackson said being a federal public defender and a trial judge had helped shape her work. >> i think that experience in the criminal justice system, whether, as you say, on the prosecution side or the defense side, having actual experience is an asset as a judge. you under

she was a wonderful colleague, i have been working alongside her at georgetown university for a couple of decades. she was generous with her time and she was a very, very decent person who brought that decency to diplomacy. i think the two things she will most be remembered for a secretary of state, number one, getting the united states and nato allies to intervene in the balkans to stop the killing and bring peace to coso and number two, opening the doors of nato to new democracies of europe. she has always been someone who stood on the side of democracy and decency, right through her career. fin and decency, right through her career. . ., ., ~ ., career. on leaving that mark on us foreign _ career. on leaving that mark on us foreign policy, _ career. on leaving that mark on us foreign policy, she - career. on leaving that mark on us foreign policy, she had - career. on leaving that mark on us foreign policy, she had a - us foreign policy, she had a particular style, us foreign policy, she had a particularstyle, it us foreign policy, she had a particular style, it was said she shaped

transformative power of a rigorous progressive education, and as judge ketanji brown jackson pointed out georgetown - is a private school, and an elite private school they can teach what they want in the parents can choose to take thehe kids out and go elsewhere if they don't like it but here's f the wrinkle, and is getting harder foree the parents in tennessee to do that because so-called progressive education is taking over public schools also.ar part of that progressive education requires getting in between the parents and their children. here's why it was so important to bear thison out during a confirmation hearing, we were examining nominee for spent nearly a decade on the bench, yett cannot describe the fundamental approach to the law. not her approach to deciding cases or sentencing the criminals but to reading and interpreting the constitution. so when tennesseans your her reviews and gives an opening statement and talks about how she makes decisions by starting from my point of its reality and by looking at the facts of the case and if i looking at present tense, you have to say, where do

>> i decided to put my phd to work and i got a job at the georgetown university teaching in the school of foreign service and it was interesting because georgetown had been a single school and they had become coed and wanted to have women professors. i was hired to be a role model which is not a simple activity. and i had a never taught so i began to teach and i taught some graduate students and undergrads and really liked it. i was a full-time professor. >> in 1984, mondale gets the nomination and keeps the vice presidential nominee geraldine ferraro. what was your involvement in that campaign? >> what happened is one of the stories in my life is one thing does lead to another. to go back on something what had happened was because i had done so much fundraising for ed muskie he's running for president and would i be his fundraiser. i was trying to make up my mind about whether to do it or not when he pulled out and when i was sitting in his office and he was interviewing me for the job, mondale walked in and brzezinski said we are thinking of hiring madeleine for this and she said one

because he couldn't teach at georgetown anymore, but they didn't know the civil service did not know this happened until sometime later when they called him in and said what happened in san francisco. and but they didn't -- the civil service did not know this happened until sometime later when they called him in and said, what happened in san francisco? and he refused to answer, refused to answer. then he just told them it was none of their business and they fired him. then he on a diet of 20 cents a day -- i mean an allowance of 20 cents a day, because he had no money -- he sold his car to get there -- he began papering washington with this story. and complaining about the legal and moral -- i don't know -- insult this represented to not only him but to other gay men who at the time were still being fired at a very fast rate because now mccarthy was really in his high moment. so he graduated then to being perhaps the most the most succe advocate for sexual -- the absence of sexual discrimination. and including an appeal to the supreme court on behalf of a guy that was not successful
