Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) has continued to push back on critical race theory being worked into military training. In an interview on Friday, Cotton discussed the letters he has received from members of the military and their families that details their concern over CRT.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton, who currently serves on the armed services committee, has asserted the military has always been about getting ahead strictly based on merit. He warned of \u201creal intangible costs\u201d if leaders continued their attempts to divide service members.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There is no place for toxic critical race theory in our military.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@TomCottonAR) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TomCottonAR\/status\/1403386143673139201?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cotton recently confronted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the training being implemented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe military has included the works of critical race theories on its reading list by authors,\u201d he explained. \u201cMr. Kendi has written \u2018the only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.\u2019 Do you agree with that proposition?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Austin expressed his disagreement with that statement and admitted to never having read those writings by Kendi. Cotton continued to interrupt Austin on multiple occasions as the Defense Secretary attempted to explain the circumstances of racial issues within the military.<\/p>\n<p>Cotton proceeded to argue that continuing down this path would sow distrust between troops, tank morale and have a serious impact on preparedness.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/supreme-court-disappoints-democrat-lawmakers-with-non-partisanship\/\">Supreme Court Disappoints Democrat Lawmakers With Non-Partisanship<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
