Wisconsin GOP congressman pushes bill to ban critical race theory in DC public schools


[FOXNEWS] Wisconsin Republican Rep. Glenn Grothman introduced a bill Friday that would ban Washington, D.C. public schools from teaching critical race theory — a controversial doctrine that assumes systematic racism is a defining feature of U.S. history and society.

Grothman said that critical race theory teaches children "to hate each other and hate their country."

"In other words, students being taught that they are defined by the color of their skin, not the content of their character," he said in a statement.

Congressional politicians have the jurisdiction to enact laws that affect the nation’s capital, as D.C. is not a state.

Fox News could not immediately reach Mayor Muriel Bowser for comment on the legislation.

Bowser has consistently pushed for statehood to circumvent the long-held congressional power that politicians wield over the city's nearly 700,000 residents.

The "Ending Critical Race Theory in D.C. Public Schools Act" was backed by four GOP congressmen, including Reps. Bob Gibbs of Ohio, Ralph Norman of South Carolina, and Texas politicians Pat Fallon and Ronny Jackson.
