House Republican presses Navy chief on why critical race theory was placed on voluntary reading list
Fox News
Rep. Doug Lamborn, R-Colo., expressed concern that the U.S. Navy is promoting discrimination by including books about critical race theory on a recommended reading list, specifically pointing at Ibram X. Kendi's "How to Be an Antiracist."
"[I}t argues that the entire American system is corrupted from top to bottom by racial prejudices which account for all differences in outcomes in our society," Lamborn said. "And one sentence out of that book says, ‘The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.’" The congressman then questioned what place such a book has within the context of the U.S. military, even if the reading list is merely voluntary.More Related News
