Senator Cornyn, Republican Legislators Back Civics Bill That Could Push Critical Race Theory on Every Public School in America

Critics warn that the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which is backed by multiple Republican senators such as Sen. John Cornyn, could impose leftwing critical race theory on every public school in the United States if it passes.

The bill would empower Biden's Secretary of Education to award grants to "Eligible entities," including nonprofit organizations, higher education institutions, and states, which would then use the money to offer subgrants to local educational agencies.

Cornyn, who was recently booed at the Texas Republican Party convention over his support for gun control and appears to be working on an immigration package that would include amnesty, is among the Republicans who are backing the bill.

While the bill does not expressly warrant the creation of a national curriculum, the grant money would be awarded by the Secretary of Education, which previously removed a requirement.

That mobilized the federal government in an attempt to advance critical race theory under the guise of "Racial equity and support for underserved communities."

Sen. Bill Cassidy is also supporting the bill, as is Tom Cole, a Republican Congressman from Oklahoma's 4th Congressional district.

The National Association of Scholars is one of the organizations opposing the legislation, and has issued a call to both Cole and Cornyn, urging them to withdraw their support for the bill, arguing that it would empower the Biden administration to advance critical race theory.
