Republican Introduced Bill Banning Critical Race Theory In Military Service Academics

A bill has been introduced by Tennessee Republican Rep. Mark Green to prohibit critical race theory from being taught in the United States Military Service Academies.

Tennessee’s state house voted to ban critical race theory being taught in public schools on Wednesday which prevents schools from, “promoting race essentialism, collective guilt, and state-sanctioned racism.”

Rep. Green called critical race theory a “Marxist ideology” that will jeopardize the ability’s main goal to protect the country.

“Critical Race Theory is based on a massive and purposeful misunderstanding of the American founding, American history, and America as it exists today. This is a Marxist ideology created to tear American institutions down. It teaches Americans and members of the Armed Services to judge one another by the color of their skin instead of by the “content of their character.” America should never go back to this kind of thinking. A curriculum based on Critical Race Theory seeks to divide Americans instead of unite them,” Green said in a press release for his bill.

“The United States military service academies are designed to train leaders and warriors for combat—men and women of every race, creed, and religion. Critical Race Theory’s divisiveness will destroy the unit cohesion necessary to win in combat and defend this nation.”

Green’s office also noted that, in response to the Pentagon’s demands, Service Academies have adopted CRT, with some also including Diversity and Inclusion as a minor.

West Point has been adopting “anti-racist” training methods and admissions policies, according to the Washington Free Beacon in April.

West Point has been adopting “anti-racist” training methods and admissions policies, according to the Washington Free Beacon in April. The work of Ibram X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Nikole Hannah-Jones, both well-known critical race theorists, was included on one reading list, according to the outlet. Kendi wrote the book “How to Be an Antiracist,” while Hannah-Jones was the creator behind The New York Times’ controversial “1619 Project.”

“Internal documents also showed the military academy stressed the importance of diversity and inclusion to remain appealing to ‘America’s younger generation’ and competitive with other elite institutions that have embraced critical race theory,” the Free Beacon reported.

“Critical race theory extends beyond military academies into branches of the armed forces. A recent U.S. Navy reading list for officers and sailors included books on ‘anti-racism,’ the criminal justice system, and gender politics.”
