Sen. Blackburn slams University of Tennessee amid report it sought to create a critical race center
Fox News
The University of Tennessee has proposed creating a critical race theory collective center as well as integrating diversity, equity and inclusion practices.
"Critical race theory is a dangerous agenda that teaches that we are either oppressors or victims," Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., said in a statement to Fox News Digital in response to the UT program.
"It has no place in our schools, and it creates a false narrative of division that pits Americans against each other. We should be bringing folks together and students should be taught to be independent thinkers. In Tennessee, we believe in equality, civility and opportunity for all."
