Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is leading an effort by nearly two dozen attorneys general to encourage lawmakers in Washington to reconsider proposals they say impose the teaching of critical race theory.
In a letter to U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona Wednesday, 20 attorneys general claim proposed priorities for the department s grant funding via the American History and Civics Education programs include language that impose the deeply flawed and controversial teachings of the theory on schools and teachers.
According to Encyclopedia Britannica, proponents of critical race theory mostly agree that racism is a common experience among people of color in the U.S., that racism is institutional and that white people benefit from systemic racism. However, critics of the theory claim its teachings are anti-American or anti-white.
