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.

Good comment.

Our system is corrupt. Money, not principles, drives it.

Everyone views the government as a giant trough of money for themselves.

When the money runs out, and it will, the system will implode. Our debt and unfunded liabilities currently stand at $200 TRILLION. That kind of spending is simply unsustainable.

It is wonderful being the 'loyal opposition'.

Point and whine without ever having to perform while receiving all the perks of power - SWEET!

Didn’t the USSC just sorta negate those depts from ruling the country? EPA should be done - go home guys, no more job! Same for the rest of them.

Yes, I can dream...

Why do we have a Department of Education?

“Isn’t he a conservative?”

Not for a very long time. He’s now one of the lead RHINOs.

Thank you for referencing that article MarvinStinson. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots are reminded that states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to dictate policy, regulate, tax and spend in the name of INTRAstate public schooling. So by pushing CRT in intrastate schools, misguided, post-17th Amendment ratification senators like Cornyn are unconstitutionally expanding the fed's powers imo.

Insights welcome.

Also, Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters are also reminded that they must vote twice this election year. Your first vote is to primary career RINO incumbents. Your second vote is to replace outgoing Democrats and RINOs with Trump-endorsed patriot candidates.

Again, insights welcome.

So Republicans that have appeared to be with “We The People” are pieces of crap that need to be tried in a military court and hung.

They should be hanged. But they won't be. Any hanging being done, regular people will be the guest of honor there. After all that is said and done, these are the people’s choice. So I suppose the people want it. They were elect by majority vote so the people and politician's thinking runs hand in glove. The people deserve what they do to them. And since when it rains, it rains on the unjust as well as the just......
