But let me state a simple fact. All the statutes being removed by this bill are statutes of Democrats. Hank, the bill should go further. Maybe it`s time the Democrats change the name of their party. They may be desperate to pretend their party has progressed from their days of supporting slavery pushing Jim Crow laws, or supporting the KKK. Today, the Democratic Party had doubled down on what I consider this shameful history. By replacing the racism of the past with the racism of the critical race theory, America is not a racist country. America must reject critical race theory for the simple reason state sponsored racism is wrong and always will be. It was wrong when it was segregated lunch counters of Jim Crow. And it was wrong when it was segregated classrooms of critical race theory.
