Republican Sen. Tom Cotton introduced a bill Thursday to ban Critical Race Theory (CRT) from United States military training.

The Combatting Racist Training in the Military Act seeks to “prohibit the United States Armed Forces from promoting anti-American and racist theories,” the text states. Cotton wrote in a statement that the legislation “would prohibit the United States Armed Forces and educational institutions operated or controlled by the Department of Defense—such as Service Academies—from promoting the following un-American and racist theories”:

1. Any race is inherently superior or inferior to any other race.
2. The United States is a fundamentally racist country.
3. The Declaration of Independence or the United States Constitution are fundamentally racist documents.
4. An individual’s moral worth is determined by his or her race.
5. An individual, by virtue of his or her race, is inherently racist or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously.
6. An individual, because of his or her race, bears responsibility for the actions committed by members of his or her race.

Cotton also said in the statement: “Our military’s strength depends on the unity of our troops and the knowledge that America is a noble nation worth fighting for. Critical Race Theory teaches that race is a person’s most important characteristic, and that America is an evil, oppressive place. That idea may be fashionable in left-wing circles and college classrooms, but it has no place in our military.”
