GOP senator: Teaching people about racism is 'anti-American propaganda'



By Emily Singer -September 9, 2020 11:04 AM

Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) supports Trump's decision to stop anti-racism training for federal workers, calling it 'divisive.'

GOP Sen. Kevin Cramer on Tuesday said he backs Donald Trump's decision to end anti-racism training for federal employees, calling the trainings "anti-American propaganda" that have "no place in the federal government."

"It's good President Trump and [Office of Management and Budget] Director Russ Vought are putting an end to these divisive, taxpayer-funded trainings," Cramer said in a Facebook post.

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it will stop holding trainings that they allege teach "critical race theory" or "white privilege" to federal workers, with Trump calling the trainings a "sickness that cannot be allowed to continue."

"Please report any sightings so we can quickly extinguish!" Trump tweeted.

Yeah, teaching that White Europeans enslaved black africans, then made slave status inheritable, while they were colonizing and westward expanding into lands that other non pasty people already lived on is so anti American. The nation was founded on racism, ffs.

It's not propaganda, it's history. They oppose the teaching of history, along with critical thinking.

They are so very afraid of payback. So much for the golden rule.
