Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., reintroduced the Protect Equality and Civics Education Act, a bill that would block tax dollars from promoting Critical Race Theory within the Department of Education's American history guidelines.
"Critical Race Theory is an outrageous, Marxist teaching that has no place in our schools," Rubio said.
The term "Divisive concepts" also includes any other form of race or sex stereotyping or any other form of race or sex scapegoating.
Federal grant documents show that the U.S. Department of Education awarded roughly $2.5 million in taxpayer dollars to a Florida-based education program that trains future teachers and other professionals in critical race theory.
Another similar program, "The Research Institute for Scholars of Equity," received millions of dollars for "Training" college students in critical race theory at several higher educational institutions.
Top Republicans in the U.S. House launched an investigation last year into reports that federal funding meant for COVID-related learning loss was spent to promote "Equity warriors," critical race theory teachings and more at local schools.
"Woke concepts like critical race theory only serve to spread division," Cramer said.
