McConnell says he's 'concerned' schools are denigrating American historical events
Fox News
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Wednesday says he's "concerned" about teachers trying to "denigrate" historical events in U.S. history, as some schools are catching heat for teaching critical race theory curriculum.
"I am concerned about efforts to kind of downplay significant items in American history have been extremely important," McConnell told reporters Wednesday at an event in Shelbyville, Ky. McConnell's comments come as Republicans have been campaigning hard against critical race theory amid complaints from outspoken parents that schools are teaching children to feel bad about being White.More Related News
