## Bio

Born August 26, 1984, Christopher Ferguson Rufo worked as a documentary filmmaker before joining the Discovery Institute, the Claremont Institute, The Heritage Foundation, and the Foundation Against Intolerance and Racism as a fellow. His opposition to critical race theory in institutions drew national attention when his segments with Tucker Carlson reportedly influenced President Donald Trump to sign the 2020 executive order restricting diversity training topics - an order President Joe Biden later rescinded in 2021. Rufo now serves as a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, a board member at New College of Florida, a contributing editor of City Journal, and a distinguished fellow of Hillsdale College, continuing Republican efforts to restrict critical race theory instruction in public settings.
