Mark Green (R-TN) introduced a bill on Wednesday that would ban U.S. Military Service Academies from teaching Critical Race Theory (CRT).<\/p>\n<p>Green, a West Point alumni and Iraq war veteran, called CRT a \u201cMarxist ideology\u201d that will undermine the ability\u2019s core mission to protect America.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCritical Race Theory is based on a massive and purposeful misunderstanding of the American founding, American history, and America as it exists today. This is a Marxist ideology created to tear American institutions down. It teaches Americans and members of the Armed Services to judge one another by the color of their skin instead of by the \u201ccontent of their character.\u201d America should never go back to this kind of thinking. A curriculum based on Critical Race Theory seeks to divide Americans instead of unite them,\u201d Green said in <a href=\"https:\/\/markgreen.house.gov\/2021\/5\/rep-green-introduces-bill-to-block-critical-race-theory-training-in-us-military-service-academies\">a press release<\/a> for his bill. \u201cThe United States military service academies are designed to train leaders and warriors for combat\u2014men and women of every race, creed, and religion. Critical Race Theory\u2019s divisiveness will destroy the unit cohesion necessary to win in combat and defend this nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Green\u2019s office also pointed out that Service Academies have implemented CRT due to pressure from the Pentagon, with some Academies even adding Diversity and Inclusion as a minor.<\/p>\n<p>The Washington Free Beacon <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/military-service-academies-go-woke\/\">reported<\/a> in April that West Point had been using \u201canti-racist\u201d teaching tools and admissions practices. The outlet found that one reading list included the work of Ibram X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Nikole Hannah-Jones, all well-known critical race theorists. Kendi wrote the book, \u201cHow to be an Antiracist,\u201d while Hannah-Jones created The New York Times\u2019 much-criticized \u201c1619 Project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInternal documents also showed the military academy stressed the importance of diversity and inclusion\u00a0to remain appealing to \u2018America\u2019s younger generation\u2019 and competitive with other elite institutions that have embraced critical race theory,\u201d the Free Beacon reported. \u201cCritical race theory extends beyond military academies into branches of the armed forces. A recent U.S. Navy reading list for officers and sailors\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/national-security\/navy-reading-list-includes-anti-racism-book-for-sailors\/\">included<\/a>\u00a0books on \u2018anti-racism,\u2019 the criminal justice system, and gender politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire has reported, numerous state legislatures have passed or introduced bills to ban CRT from public schools. At the end of April, Idaho\u2019s governor became the first to actually <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/first-in-nation-idahos-republican-gov-signs-bill-banning-critical-race-theory\">sign a bill<\/a> banning CRT. Similar bills have passed in Arkansas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/bill-passes-tennessee-state-house-prohibiting-critical-race-theory-in-public-schools\">Tennessee<\/a>, and Utah. The Oklahoma House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to pass a bill that would do the same. State Sen. Shane Jett previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/oklahoma-state-senators-introduce-bill-to-ban-critical-race-theory-from-public-schools-and-universities\">told<\/a> The Daily Wire that CRT is just Marxism using race in place of class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing race instead of the traditional Marxist strategy of trying to pit classes against one another based on socioeconomic issues, they\u2019ve chosen race which is immutable. You can\u2019t change the color of your skin,\u201d Jett said. \u201cYou can, in a meritorious system where we reward those who work hard and innovate, you can change your socioeconomic status by creating wealth by innovation, but you can\u2019t change the color of your skin. So, they\u2019ve chosen something that they\u2019re using to create chaos to create a narrative that says your form of government doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) took his own action, directing the state\u2019s education department to ban CRT from public schools, The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/desantis-takes-on-critical-race-theory-teaching-kids-to-hate-their-country-not-worth-one-red-cent-of-taxpayer-money\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
