Senator Cornyn, Republican Legislators Back Civics Bill That Could Push Critical Race Theory on Every Public School in America
bretibart ^ | 1 Jul 2022 | SPENCER LINDQUIST

Critics warn that the Civics Secures Democracy Act (CSDA), which is backed by multiple Republican senators such as Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), could impose leftwing critical race theory on every public school in the United States if it passes.

The bill's goals include support of “local educational agencies, elementary schools, and secondary schools in selecting and making available to all students innovative, engaging curricula and programs” pertaining to civics and American government, as well as to “diversify the civics, history, and government education workforce by offering targeted incentives.”

While the bill does not expressly warrant the creation of a national curriculum, the grant money would be awarded by the Secretary of Education, which previously removed a requirement that grant seekers incorporate elements of the New York Times’ 1619 Project and the work of critical race theorist Ibram X. Kendi.

Additionally, Biden previously issued an executive order that mobilized the federal government in an attempt to advance critical race theory under the guise of “racial equity and support for underserved communities.” The CDSA has garnered support from multiple Republicans, including Cornyn, who introduced the bill alongside Democrat Sen. Chris Coons (DE). Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK) also joined the two in introducing the controversial piece of legislation. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-LA) is also supporting the bill, as is Tom Cole, a Republican Congressman from Oklahoma’s 4th Congressional district.

The National Association of Scholars is one of the organizations opposing the legislation, and has issued a call to both Cole and Cornyn, urging them to withdraw their support for the bill, arguing that it would empower the Biden administration to advance critical race theory.

Every Republican who supports this is betraying the conservatives who voted them into office.

Agreed. GOPe can get more of their political interests through in the minority. In the majority, they spend most of their time undermining conservative legislation. We’re stuck with Cornyn until at least 2026. Probably more, unfortunately.

Kick the federal government, the President, Congress and the whole “education” branch out of EDUCATION. Leave it to the states and GOP governors to clean it up in their state, and GOP legislators act to reform it in every state they have any representation but don’t have the governorship.

why do there have to be “eligible entities?” Shouldn’t that money go to states or local school districts for them to use and decide? If a non-profit is determining what curriculum schools use why the heck to we pay school boards and principles and teachers and state officials, what decisions are they making? Non-profits are out of hand and also a back door liberal money laundering scam

Cornyn is just the tip of the iceberg of RINOs in the GOP.

The party is not, and never will be, conservative.

*************

We have met the enemy and they are US.

The base of GOP voters seems to have an aversion to holding people accountable.

We really need to up raise our standards and expectations for the people we elect.

We often hold them accountable for moral failings (which Democrats completely ignore in their candidates) but never hold them accountable for growing government power. Because many of us hope there is a chance we might get some free stuff, too.

But when you consider the kind of backroom deals a candidate needs to make to actually win a very expensive US Senate race, it's not surprising that fewer than 10% of them have any character at all.
