It takes us to this very simple idea: An idea that is a new hierarchy of human value. There is no doubt that the hierarchy of human value that was about white supremacy is illegitimate. Every single person is opposed to the idea of white supremacy. But we cannot replace an old hierarchy of human value with a new hierarchy of human value that demonizes children with this book.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She quoted from the book: \u201cWhiteness is a bad deal. Filing a contract with the devil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe message is the shaming of human beings,\u201d she said harshly. \u201cNo child should be shamed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is an ideology that I call the \u2018Woke army,\u2019\u201d she stated. \u201cIt is an ideology of activists who are going through America\u2019s school districts and our communities and what they are doing is a threat to democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After pointing out the poor school records of students in Raskin\u2019s and Michigan Democrat Rashida Talib\u2019s districts, she asserted, \u201cOur children are in a crisis today, and the idea that we the parents are now the agents of white supremacy is unacceptable. All of these books that I have here today are the indoctrination that is being put into the minds of our children instead of the fundamentals that are critical to make them educated enlightened citizens that protect our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Dems control the House so <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OversightDems?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@oversightdems<\/a> got 5 witnesses v. 1 witness (me) invited by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPoversight?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@gopoversight<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NancyMace?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@nancymace<\/a>.
