<p>Journalist and activist Christopher Rufo joined The Ben Shapiro Show Friday to expose left-wing infiltration of the Department of Education, releasing never-before-seen footage of far-left activists working to destigmatize child “sex work” and comparing the American education system to a concentration camp full of gas chambers.</p>
<p>The clips, exclusively released by Rufo on The Ben Shapiro Show, document the far-left DEI trainings hosted by the Equity Assistance Centers (EAC) at the Department of Education. The EACs each received millions of dollars from the Department of Education, using the money to fund left-wing ideologues who then went on to advise thousands of school districts across the country.</p>
<p>“This is an institution that spends billions of dollars every year, and it functions in essence as a left-wing patronage machine,” Rufo told Shapiro, adding that he is releasing clips “to show the extent of the ideological corruption” within the agency.</p>
<p>“They’re saying America is fundamentally racist, they’re saying that all white people function as white supremacists, they’re saying that you have to give up your power, privilege, and resources to the oppressed,” he said, adding that “this is a major point of focus for the department regardless of who is in office.”</p>

<p>Footage shows one DEI trainer with the Department of Education presenting on the supposed importance of destigmatizing “survival sex work” carried out by LGBT youth, also warning against an oppressive system of “adultism.”</p>
<p>A slide outlining the objectives of the presentation states that attendees will understand “the importance of sex work to LGBT+ survival, and learn to avoid further stigmatizing youth engaged in survival sex work.” The presenter goes on to argue that “understanding the importance of sex work in the LGBTQ+ community and in LGBTQ+ survival, especially for queer and trans people of color, and most emphatically black trans women.”</p>
<p>She also lamented the “system of adultism,” which is “the larger cultural understanding that children should not be listened to, should not be heard, should not be respected,” arguing that it is one of the systems of oppression that reinforces homophobia and transphobia.</p>
<p>The Department of Education also fully embraced the far-left dogmas of critical race theory, deriding the United States and its institutions as irredeemably racist.</p>
<p>One DEI instructor compared the system to being surrounded by gas chambers in a concentration camp. “We are working in a structurally racist from-its-beginnings-system,” adding that “sometimes I feel like I’m in this concentration camp and there’s the gas chambers everywhere,” she lamented.</p>
<p>“The public education system is designed to harm black and brown children,” one of the DEI instructors claimed, with another explaining, “We are really heavily focused on, how do we get police out of schools, we are also heavily focused on, how do we defund policing?”</p>
<p>Yet another presenter said that she urges her two daughters, ages seven and nine, “to push through the white fantasy that is part of living in a white supremacist society.”</p>
<p>Another activist openly praised a radical Critical Race Theorist who infamously claimed that the only solution to discrimination is “anti-racist discrimination.”</p>
<p>“Ibram X. Kendi has done a great job of putting words to this idea that we’ve known for a long time, that there is no ‘not racist,’ there’s no ‘non-racist.’ You’re either contributing to racism or you’re pushing against racism,” he argued, parroting one of the core tenets of the far-left ideology.</p>
<p>Rufo went on to explain the extent of the left-wing push in education, noting that red state school districts are not safe from Critical Race Theory and gender ideology.</p>
<p>“Wherever you are in the country, if you’re in a red state … you’re not safe from these ideologies because these centers and these national ideologies are trying to find a foothold everywhere.”</p>
<p>Shapiro charged that the Department of Education is “a giant agitprop machine on behalf of these ideologies … this is the reason why Republicans have been calling for the disestablishment of the Department of Education overall.”</p>
<p>Rufo provided a solution, contending that after block education grants are given to the states and placing student loan programs on a path to privatization, leaders must “crush, demolish, and then salt over the ‘research’ which is really just ideological production … we cannot let this survive another four years.”</p>
