Christopher F Rufo

I’m a writer, filmmaker, and director of Discovery Institute’s Center on Wealth & Poverty. I’ve directed four films for PBS, including my latest, America Lost, and am currently a contributing editor of City Journal, where I cover critical race theory, homelessness, addiction, crime, and other afflictions. My investigative reporting recently led President Trump to issue an executive banning critical race theory from the federal government. I’m a graduate of Georgetown University, visiting fellow in domestic policy studies at the Heritage Foundation, and former Lincoln Fellow at the Claremont Institute. I live in the Seattle area with my wife and children.
