Republican Rep. Bob Good of Virginia introduced legislation Wednesday that would prohibit schools, programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance from teaching Critical Race Theory.
The Defending Students’ Civil Rights Act of 2021 would make it “punishable by law” to teach Critical Race Theory (CRT) as a violation of students’ civil rights under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, according to the press release. Rep. Good introduced the legislation along with Russ Vought, the president of Centers for Renewing America and former White House office of management and budget director, during a joint press conference Wednesday. The bill is an effort to hold “educators accountable for what they teach in our schools,” Vought said.
