Documentary filmmaker and Manhattan Institute fellow Chris Rufo criticized The Washington Post for a recent article that he said spread multiple lies about his political views and about Critical Race Theory (CRT), leading to the newspaper issuing a correction on segments of its reporting.

In a Twitter thread, Rufo highlighted several excerpts from the article titled “DeSantis moves to turn a progressive Fla. college into a conservative one” by Washington Post education reporter Valerie Strauss. The Washington Post article focused on Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ move to name Rufo and five others to the board of the New College of Florida in Sarasota.
