Josh Hawley's Attempt At Quoting MLK To Slam Critical Race Theory Goes Down In Flames

Critical race theory says America is oppressive and our future will be defined by racial division & strife. I reject that prophecy of America\u2019s future. I take my stand on the goodness of the American people. I take my stand on hopepic.twitter.com/a3TcafG0Ls

Sen. Hawley says he's concerned that Kiran Ahuja is "a disciple of radical critical theorists," and that as the federal government's HR director, "she could use her platform to promote radical ideologies that seek to divide, rather than unite the American people."pic.twitter.com/tsVXgGBeOt

Josh Hawley said today he was worried that folks might have the belief this was a country founded in racism. Who wants to tell him?

Um....Senator? @HawleyMO ? Is Wiki wrong? "In an effort to preserve the balance of power in Congress between slave and free states, the Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820 admitting Missouri as a slave state and Maine as a free state. ..."

What\u2019s really oppressive is folks trying to overthrow the Republic and end American democracy.

Critical Race Theory is a graduate school elective course. It is not taught in K-12. I have no problem with teaching children in school the history of slavery, racism and white supremacy in school. Why would you?

Josh Hawley represents a state that was literally created as a slave state as a result of the Missouri Compromise of 1820https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1407397253371867138\u00a0\u2026

Josh Hawley said he puts his hope in the goodness of the American people.\n\nOn Jan. 6th, I saw the type of people he thinks are good.\n\nHard pass from me!
