John,

The Left continues to push divisive, destructive Critical Race Theory.

Our children’s futures are at stake, and I won’t sit idly by and let the Left indoctrinate the next generation!

It is imperative we teach our children the truth about who we are.

I’m fighting back! I introduced the Love America Act, which would require any school that receives federal funding to teach children about America’s founding documents—the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Declaration of Independence.

We must replace the lies with the TRUTH!

Below is an Op-Ed for the New York Post which lays out my case. Give it a read.

God Bless,

Josh

Sen. Hawley: Public schools must shape kids who love America and our founding

By Josh Hawley

Parents know something is wrong. It’s why they are showing up in droves at school-board meetings across the nation. They are sending a message. They don’t want their children taught that the true founding of America came in 1619, or that America is a systemically racist place, or that most Americans are oppressors. They don’t want their children taught lies. And they are right.

Sometimes, these lies go by the name “critical race theory,” a pet project of the left that began, as many bad ideas do, in the academy and has spread in recent years across corporate America and into school curricula. Sometimes the lies are called “anti-racism.”

Whatever the label, the central principles are the same. These doctrines teach that American society is structurally oppressive, that our culture is shot through with racism and other forms of bigotry, and that most Americans are complicit in racial oppression, knowingly or not...
