Blackburn, Tuberville send NEA letter asking for additional information on pro-CRT efforts
Fox News
Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala. are requesting additional information from one of the nation's largest teachers' unions after it pledged to research opponents of critical race theory (CRT).
Sent on Monday, the letter represents the latest escalation in a battle that has included actions from both state and federal lawmakers. Proponents of CRT generally argue that the ideology and its related lessons ensure students understand systemic injustices and the darker side of U.S. history. In a resolution this month, the NEA committed to researching organizations "attacking educators doing anti-racist work and/or use the research already done and put together a list of resources and recommendations for state affiliates, locals, and individual educators to utilize when they are attacked."More Related News
