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.
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.
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.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
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.
