LINCOLN, New Hampshire — Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) announced Friday at the North County Republican Dinner in New Hampshire that he will introduce legislation to stop military officers from teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT).
“I’m about to demand all these generals and admirals that want another promotion to commit that they are not going to be teaching anything like this [CRT] in their commands,” Cotton announced to a loud applause. He went on:
CTR is the anti-American idea that the most important thing about you is your skin color; that some people are inherently privileged and oppressive because of the color of their skin. That first and foremost you should not be an individual, but rather a representative of people with the same skin color.
“All of these are diametrically opposed to the American founding,” Cotton continued. “They are opposed to what Dr. Martin Luther King said in his Dream Speech, ‘that we should be judged on the content of our character and not the color of our skin.'” He added:
These radicals today who want to repudiate the American founding… are trying to indoctrinate our kids, are trying to … your fellow workers. If you speak out, you might be ostracized. You might lose your job. Your business might be boycotted. You might lose your spot in school — all because you stood for the same thing that Dr. Martin Luther King stood for.”
“It is an outrage and has to be fought,” Cotton boldly stated.
Breitbart News reported Wednesday Cotton introduced legislation to prohibit federal funds from being distributed to K-12 schools that endorse CRT and to colleges and universities that compel faculty and students to adopt the Marxist ideology’s tenets.

I've been reading about and listening to what seems to be good, strong and patriotic legislators both Senate and The House .... since the Clintons ( when I first REALLY started paying attention ). . . . and that was almost 30 YEARS AGO ... and nothing .... NOTHING has ever happened to any enemy of America.
I'm a weakened 73 year old and I used to think I'd see a day when America would return.
Not so sure these days
Cotton has awakened from his slumber?
Great! Another law! That’ll fix it.
Unit cohesion and CRT cannot coexist in the same space.

It has been neutered for at least 50 years!
Now, when people are finally waking up, you act as if nothing can be done.
People started waking up about 1990, but it was a fairly small group. It has gotten bigger and bigger each year.
It got big enough in 2016, to elect Donald Trump.
It is over half the country now, which is why the Left has to engage in outright censorship and election misconduct and fraud to stay in power.
Now is the time to fight the hardest!.
Repub introduces bill he knows will never pass with a dem majority.
Happens a lot. More often than when they have the majority.
ANY republicans NOT in favor and NOT supporting this legislation should be voted OUT.
We NEED ACTION, not a bunch of bought off or blackmailed pantywaists!
Nailed it.
Supporting legislation that will not pass the Dem-controlled congress is going to help...how, exactly?

Well,
If nothing else, it’s a shot across the bow.
Obviously they didn’t get the memo - Demo only obey (enforce) laws that they agree with.
Pass all the laws they want to, CRT will still be the subject DeJure in every class.
Gosh, this is exciting news.
Wonder what hell tackle next? /s
Hang in there knarf. I think the rats are all going down and there is nothing to stop it! We just have to vote everyone out on our side as well to fix this crap!
The psychological effect on the population has frozen us into a standstill, hoping Trump will come back on a white horse.
The American people have been Goebbelled into disbelieving next week, the Arizona count, Sometime in August, Monday, etc.
I'VE hoped for returning military warriors to stand up and lead us into a real battle, but recent reports seem to indicate ... they too have no direction after their military service.
The BEST tactic I see is commandeering the public schools and destroying the "system" that so easily besets us.
He should include civilian contract employees to the prohibition. They are far more likely than officers to be ‘teaching’ such tripe.
I thought we did that in 2020
When they had the majority in both houses and President Trump in the White House they refused to fund the wall and enforcement.
They failed to repeal Obamacare.
They failed at everything except a tax cut.
They only got half the tax cut permanently. The tax cut on personal income expires in 2025. China Mitch did deliver the corporate tax cut for his donors. I suppose that doesn’t matter now, though.
