Political Quotes

“Mr. President, growing up I was taught, as I suspect most of you were, that America is a great, noble nation, in large part because, as Lincoln put it, it is ``dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.'' In America, our rights have no color, our law and society should be colorblind, and as Dr. Martin Luther King said, we should not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character. Sadly, today, some want to replace our founding principles with an un-American ideology called critical race theory. They want to teach our children that America is not a good nation but a racist nation. Those teachings are wrong, and our tax dollars should not support them. My amendment will ensure that Federal funds are not used to indoctrinate kids as young as pre-K to hate America. Our future depends on the next generation of kids loving America and loving each other as fellow citizens, no matter their race. I urge my colleagues to vote yes on the amendment.”
