Dan Bishop and Texas Rep. Chip Roy and was signed by 24 other Republicans. In the letter, the lawmakers call on Cardona to withdraw the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.federalregister.gov\/documents\/2021\/04\/19\/2021-08068\/proposed-priorities-american-history-and-civics-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proposal<\/a> to adopt grantmaking priorities \u201cto improve \u2026 [t]he quality of American history, civics, and government education,\u201d saying the department could hold back grants to schools that don\u2019t buy into <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/05\/12\/house-republicans-introduce-legislation-defund-critical-race-theory\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CRT<\/a> curriculum and the \u201c1619 Project.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday concludes the period for comment upon the U.S. Department of Education\u2019s referenced proposal to adopt explicitly racialized grantmaking priorities in order \u2018to improve \u2026 [t]he quality of American history, civics, and government education.\u2019 A more wrong-headed, unamerican proposal would be difficult to imagine. Yet, the country must recognize that very soon President Biden\u2019s embrace of the poisonous and anti-American ideology of critical race theory threatens to become official policy of the United States government, directed toward our most impressionable citizens \u2014 primary and secondary school students across the country,\u201d the lawmakers said in the letter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs countless Americans know that this effort is wrong, we join more than 24,000 individuals who have commented during the past 30 days, to express our dismay and objections to the proposal,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>CRT holds that America is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/24\/tom-cotton-bill-critical-race-theory-ban-military\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fundamentally<\/a> racist, yet it teaches people to view every social interaction and person in terms of race.
