Sen. Josh Hawley rips the left's attempts at keeping America in a 'perpetual state of crisis'
The Missouri Republican also sounded off on the left's push for critical race theory in schools, calling the academic movement "false" and countering with his belief that school districts who receive "taxpayer funds" should be required to teach the American founding documents. HAWLEY: We've got to be clear that critical race theory is false. It's just not true that this country was actually founded in 1619. It's not true that this country is systemically racist. It's not true that the Constitution was written and shot through with white supremacy. But you can't replace lies with nothing. You have to replace lies with the truth. And that's why I believe we ought to require every school district in America that gets taxpayer funds to teach our actual founding documents. I'm talking about the Bill of Rights, Constitution, Declaration of Independence. These are the documents that contain our founding principles. It's what unites us as Americans. It's what we love together as Americans. And that's why I believe we should say, hey, let's teach what's actually true to our kids, and that's how we go after these falsehoods.
