Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that Critical Race Theory serves as a prejudicial ideological tool, rather than an educational tool, and should not be taught in K-12 classrooms as a way to teach students to judge individuals based on sex, race, ethnicity, and national origin.
Summary
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives' opposition to the use of Critical Race Theory in K-12 classrooms, characterizing it as a tool that encourages students to judge others based on protected characteristics like race and sex. It calls on federal and state authorities to investigate school compliance with existing civil rights laws and condemns requirements that teachers undergo training in this framework for professional certification. If adopted, the resolution would serve as a formal statement of congressional opinion rather than a binding law, though it encourages increased legal oversight of school curricula and teacher training programs.
