Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) joined a growing list of Republicans who have taken a public stance against critical race theory. Blackburn shared a video on Twitter on Wednesday, which explained what CRT aims to do.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Blackburn cosponsored a resolution with Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.) condemning the use of CRT in both K-12 schools and teacher training. In the video, Blackburn argued this academic movement teaches children to view America as \u201csystemically racist\u201d and to judge others according to racial differences.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Critical race theory is wrong for the nation because it teaches our children to hate America and judge each other for our differences. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I4naMQxm3z\">pic.twitter.com\/I4naMQxm3z<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Sen.

The group of Republicans also asked for the withdrawal of the department\u2019s proposed priorities on American history and civics, which they say includes teaching divisive curriculum like CRT.<\/p>\n<p>As Democrats in Congress continue to push for critical race theory in schools and job training, Blackburn and other Republicans have voiced support for school choice.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/police-unions-grill-msnbc-contributor-who-blames-law-enforcement-for-uptick-in-crime\/\">Police Unions Grill MSNBC Contributor Who Blames Law Enforcement For Uptick In Crime<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
