Burgess Owens introduces bill banning racial segregation in federal diversity trainings

Rep. Burgess Owens introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban the federal government from funding diversity trainings that divide employees based on their race.

"From the Tulsa Race Massacre to Jim Crow and Juneteenth, young Americans deserve to learn about all significant events in our country’s history," the Utah Republican said about his legislation.  "Critical race theory, however, teaches students that America is irredeemably racist and intrinsic characteristics like race, color, and national origin define you. As we strive to address injustice, I’m proud to introduce the say no to indoctrination act to keep taxpayer dollars from funding discriminatory practices and divisive worldviews."
