GOP senators demand teachers union disclose if it is collecting info on critical race theory opponents
Fox News
A group of Senate Republicans called Tuesday for the country’s largest teachers union to disclose more details about its plan to conduct research on groups that oppose the teaching of critical race theory in classrooms.
"The United States has come a long way in its effort to promote equality, and CRT is both divisive and detrimental to the progress our nation has made," the senators said. "Simply put, CRT reinforces divisions on strict racial lines." One of the resolutions, dubbed New Business Item 2, pledged funding toward opposition research targeting critics of critical race theory. The other resolution, New Business Item 39, pledged resources for the teaching of critical race theory as well as a team of staffers for union members "who want to learn more and fight back against anti-CRT rhetoric," among other measures. Both measures were marked as "adopted as amended." References to the resolutions were later removed from NEA’s website.More Related News
