Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) is urging the U.S. Air Force Academy to remove an instructor from her position teaching cadets after she wrote an op-ed explaining why she teaches critical race theory in her classroom.

"Professor García's comments on Critical Race Theory are utterly unacceptable and incompatible with the mission of our United States Military Service Academies," Green said in a statement on Thursday. "Disparaging the United States as a racist country should disqualify anyone from teaching at one of our country's most prestigious institutions. Our service academies prepare young men and women to fight for our country. How can we expect anyone to fight for a country they are taught is racist?"

The professor, Lynne Chandler García, penned a column published Tuesday in The Washington Post titled: "I'm a professor at a U.S. military academy. Here's why I teach critical race theory."

"In my classes, cadets learn about the ideals embedded in this founding document. We explore the liberalist theories that promoted these ideals, and we embrace our democratic system of government. But we also acknowledge that the United States was founded on a duality: liberalism and equal rights on the one hand; inequality, inegalitarianism and second-class citizenship on the other," García, an associate professor who teaches political science at the academy, wrote.

1. I hereby urge Rep Mark Green to

recognize that he is an ignorant jackass and resign forthwith.

2. So, The Party of Hate now says teaching Critical Race Theory means you hate your country?

Democrats should respond with the Christian Right's favorite aphorism, trotted out whenever these hypocrites want to justify one of their own hatreds: "We hate the sin, but love the sinner."

3. Yes, we can't have an instructor teaching our future leaders the truth.

Professor Garcia's comments are spot-on and I salute her professionalism and courage.

4. The professor should invite Green to some classes to

enable him to make an informed statement.
