House Democrats defended the teaching of critical race theory in the military during a House Armed Services Committee markup of the massive defense policy bill early Thursday morning.
Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-IN) proposed an amendment to the bill to ban the promotion of critical race theory within the military and at schools run by the Department of Defense.
His amendment follows some high profile incidents, such as the Naval Chief of Operations, Adm. Michael Gilday, putting the book How to Be an Antiracist on his recommended reading list, and concerned parents of West Point students reaching out to members of Congress on courses, seminars, and panels at the academy promoting critical race theory.
It also follows the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Army Gen. Mark Milley saying he wanted to “understand white rage” during a House hearing this summer.
