Zack Sharf Ron Perlman sent a video message to Ted Cruz on Twitter in which the “Hellboy” actor slammed the Texas senator for his questions at the Supreme Court confirmation hearings of Ketanji Brown Jackson.
On March 22, the second day of Jackson’s confirmation hearings to replace Justice Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court, Cruz questioned Jackson on “critical race theory.” The senator asked Jackson about her role as a board member of the Georgetown Day School, where books such as Ibram X.
Kendi’s “Stamped (For Kids)” and “Antiracist Baby” are taught.Cruz used the book “Antiracist Baby” to question Jackson on whether or not she believes “babies are racist.” Pages from the book, depicting drawings of children in diapers, were positioned on a board behind Cruz. “I do not believe that any child should be made to feel as though they are racist, or though they are not valued, or though that they are less than, that they are victims, that they are oppressors,” Jackson said in response to Cruz’s question.Cruz also questioned Jackson on why she listed “social justice” as part of the Georgetown Day School’s mission, to which she answered that it was in keeping with the tradition of the school’s history of civil rights.
Jackson explained the school was founded at the height of racial segregation in 1945 Washington, D.C. and added, “The idea of equality, justice, is at the core of the Georgetown Day School mission.”Perlman was one of many people following the Supreme Court confirmation hearing who condemned Cruz’s questioning.
