Census Bureau pushing 'progressive' agenda with its handling of poverty measurement study, Rubio says
Fox News
Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio calls out the U.S. Census Bureau for the work of one panel he says is pushing a woke agenda into poverty data analysis.
The Florida senator expressed his concern in a May 11 letter to Census Bureau Director Robert Santos exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, stating, "The report, ‘An Updated Measure of Poverty: (Re)Drawing the Line,’ recommends a sweeping set of changes that would prevent our government from accurately measuring poverty and would instead advance progressive political priorities." Emily Robertson is a Fox News Digital production assistant.
Rubio calls out the NAS for being biased in its proposals and in selecting which members would author the report, arguing that this action is in conflict with their "standard of ‘objectivity’."
