Rep. Virginia Foxx: How to fight critical race theory, other dubious ideologies and end student indoctrination

Indoctrination. It’s an apt description of the left’s overhaul of civics and history education in American schools.

While the character of the Department of Education’s actions violates law, the content is far more corrosive to the American way of life. Contrary to the radical left’s rhetoric, America is not a racist country. We are a collection of the failures and successes of past generations to create a nation grounded in the idea that all people are created equal.  According to a Gallup poll released last year, national pride in America plummeted to a 20-year low. Instead of instilling pride in America to the country’s next generation of leaders, the Biden administration is capitalizing on this freefall by framing all of America’s history as a source of shame.Critical race theory, the ideology that American society is inherently racist, is corrosive to American’s founding principle that we are all created equal. More importantly, adherents to critical race theory converge with White supremacists by equating the content of one’s character to the color of a person’s skin. That fact alone is repulsive and un-American.
