Julie Su, President Biden’s pick to lead the Department of Labor (DOL), has been a leading proponent of critical race theory (CRT) for decades, dating back to her time as a civil rights lawyer.
Su — who the Senate confirmed to be deputy DOL secretary in a party-line vote in July 2021 and who has served as acting secretary since March — has been a prominent supporter of CRT, according to a Fox News Digital review of her work since the late 1990s. The left-wing Asian American Pacific Islanders Civic Engagement Fund even credited Su last year with continuing “to push the leading edge of CRT in the legal academy.”
“Make your theories into arguments that stand up in court and into foundation proposals that will get us funding for front-line activism… talk about front-line activism and in-your-face street work in your conferences, faculty meetings, classrooms and give your students opportunities to do them,” Su remarked during the Critical Race Theory Conference at Yale University in 1997.
The conference’s attendees included Derrick Bell, who has been described as the “godfather of CRT,” and Lani Guinier, who former President Bill Clinton nominated for assistant attorney general but whose nomination was withdrawn after criticism about her views on racial justice and voting rights. In addition to CRT, conference attendees discussed “Queer Theory” and “LatCrit Theory.”

“Critical Race Theory asserts that Western society is steeped in persistent racial oppression, which law plays a significant role in creating and maintaining,” a posting from the 1997 event stated.
Su’s remarks at the event, meanwhile, were highlighted in a CRT essay she co-authored in 2002 with Eric Yamamoto, a University of Hawaii professor of law and social justice. The essay was published in an anthology of works titled “Crossroads, Directions and a New Critical Race Theory.”Â
