Always call it by its honest name, COMMUNIST Race Theory.

The Arkansas lawmaker is introducing a bill to protect the military from critical race theory indoctrination.
Tomorrow, Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton will introduce legislation to ban critical race theory trainings in the United States military. The bill is concise, and desperately needed. As I have warned since last year, critical race theory and related ideologies have begun to make their way into the armed services, with some branches promoting “white fragility” book clubs and the West Point military academy teaching CRT as part of a leadership program.
The premise of Senator Cotton’s legislation is that the military should encourage its members to “love the United States,” defend the “founding principles of the United States,” and maintain policies that treat people as “human beings with equal dignity and protection under the law.” Critical race theory, according to the findings in the bill, undermines these three goals by presenting the United States as a racist, oppressive nation and by encouraging racial division under the guise of “social justice.”
Cotton’s legislation would put an end to this. (Disclosure: I reviewed and provided feedback on an initial draft of this legislation.) The bill would prohibit the armed forces from directly promoting the core tenets of critical race theory: that “the United States of America is a fundamentally racist Nation;” that “an individual, by virtue of his or her race, is inherently racist or oppressive;” and that “an individual, because of his or her race, bears responsibility for the actions committed by other members of his or her race.” The bill also includes a provision against segregating members of the armed forces by race, which has become common practice in many CRT training programs.

Except when he turned on President Trump.
Unlikely to pass.
Cotton may be adopting the ChinaMitch strategery.
That’s the problem. The word: few.
Oh, the irony. Lead by following.
Agree on the bill passing, no chance.
Patriots in the military are already immune to critical race theory indoctrination.
Flag staff officers - not so much. Soi-boy paper pushers in the pentagon never won wars.
I’m still waiting for someone to explain to me how the deep state generals missed one-million Chicomms massing on the Korean border in 1950.
The deep state is a historical screw-up of monumental proportions going back 70 years. The deep state is incapable of understanding intelligence or how to apply subsequent security.
Thank you sir. We can use language to educate the gullible and I am on this train with you. Will pass your suggestion on.
Tom Cotton did nothing for the Election. He knows these things won’t pass.
