US commentator and talk show host Dave Rubin railed against the "dangerous" spread of woke ideas, claiming that "Marxists" are infiltrating schools in the US.
Rubin, who hosts political talk show The Rubin Report, warned that it would take "a lot of work to reverse" the "damage" done.
Asked whether he believes "woke" ideas are damaging to young people and education systems, Rubin said: "Oh, it's unbelievably damaging. It's the most damaging set of ideas that I think, from a Western perspective, we've ever put into our school system.
"The idea that you would tell a child that they might not be the gender that they are. The idea that you would then hide that information from the parents.
"The idea that you would teach children in America that America's foundational principles are based in racism, these are personally damaging, of course, to the child.
"I mean what what level of confusion if you were to say to a five-year-old, you're a boy but you might be a girl or we're going to call you a girl's name - We're not going to tell your parents.
"Think what you've done to their world. How you have taken the ground that should be rich with nutrients to grow great things and how you have seeded it with awfulness so that anything they grow out of that will not stand the test of time.
"That's why we're watching so many of our institutions collapse. But even if you remove the gender one, if you just take the race one, the idea that America was not founded on independence and liberty and freedom, but we were founded in the name of slavery and all of these things.
"America, which by the way fought a civil war to end slavery while many other countries had lived, existed for hundreds of years more and continued slavery.
"Once you put that into the system, people don't know how to defend the system. And you have to give the devil his due - the academic layer, the Marxists who got into these universities - they've destroyed an awful lot and it's going to take a lot of work to reverse them with that."
In the same interview, Rubin blamed Joe Biden for the mass exodus which is occurring in the US, without hundreds of thousands of people moving from red states to blue states.
Speaking to GB News at the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (Arc) Conference in London, Rubin explained that red states are more appealing as they've eliminated policies such as mask mandates and vaccine mandates, claiming that most of the "woke stuff" has been removed from schools.
Asked about the exodus, Rubin said: "I was probably the most sort of public person leaving the communist hellhole of California and moving to the free state of Florida. And I took, obviously my family and my dog and I took two companies.
"And we're living in a free state that believes in law and order, that has removed most of the woke stuff out of the schools where businesses are flourishing, where there's safety.
"We have no state income tax, that means you have more money in your pockets and can do with what you wish, which is a beautiful thing.
"We've eliminated mask mandates and vaccine mandates and everything else."
Places like Texas, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and South Carolina have seen major growth in the last ten years, but the trend escalated in the wake of the pandemic.

He noted that "nobody is going the other way" from blue states to red states, adding: "That's happening from New York down to Florida. And people of course, are also stopping in Texas and they're stopping in Tennessee and a few other states, but nobody is going to the blue states right now.
"I would say, on the one hand, it's actually quite wonderful because that's the idea of federalism. I mean, how great is it? I feel as a Floridian, that I live in a different country than I lived as a Californian. I think the long-term question around that is, well then what unites us?"
"What makes us the United States of America as opposed to a set of independent States of America?
"We're going to have to deal with that issue."
