America is a great country, but there have been some dark chapters in our history,\u201d Jean-Pierre said in response to a question about Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen.

So was the brave work of black and white Americans in putting an end to it. Our children should learn all of our history. We don\u2019t think politicians trying to score political points by banning parts of our history in the classroom is a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe trust our teachers to teach our kids the facts and the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At least six states have <a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/06\/22\/anti-critical-race-theory-bills-summary-states-florida-idaho\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">passed<\/a> bills banning educational practices and concepts associated with CRT.
