He added, \u201cour guiding principles should be based on treating every single person with dignity and respect, not on liberal activist propaganda.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Critical race theory doesn\u2019t belong in our schools.

Tom Cotton (R-Ariz.) echoed this sentiment in an interview on Friday. Cotton, who serves on the Armed Services Committee, discussed letters from members of the military and their families he has read that detail their concern over CRT.<\/p>\n<p>He said the military has always strived to get ahead based on merit and merit alone. He added, if leaders try to divide service members there will be \u201creal intangible costs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Cotton confronted Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin about the training being implemented, reading aloud whistleblower accounts that detail the ideology infiltrating the U.S. military. He continued on to ask a pointed question about the military\u2019s selection process, which Austin avoided.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m glad Secretary Austin agrees\u2014Critical Race Theory has no place in our military. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Xk1ELnHBPF\">pic.twitter.com\/Xk1ELnHBPF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenTomCotton\/status\/1403017386278653953?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 10, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Cotton now warns this will only be detrimental to service members and will ultimately lead to a decline in preparedness.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, Cotton and his colleague Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R), are continuing to accept whistleblower reports from those in the Armed Forces in order to expose progressive diversity training programs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Congressman Earl \u201cBuddy\u201d Carter (R-Ga.) recently introduced <a href=\"https:\/\/buddycarter.house.gov\/news\/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=8118\">legislation to ban critical race theory<\/a> along with any other teaching methodology that promotes or causes a racial divide or lack of unity in the military.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/sheriff-david-clarke-attacks-the-george-floyd-police-reform-bill\/\">Sheriff David Clarke Attacks The George Floyd Police Reform Bill<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. House Minority Leader Rep.
