The head of Congress' largest conservative caucus is encouraging Republicans to embrace anti-critical race theory rhetoric, as the GOP looks to lean into the nation’s culture wars ahead of the looming battle for the House.of the Republican Study Committee, its chair Rep. Jim Banks of Indiana said the “backlash against Critical Race Theory is real." Banks framed the GOP's opposition to the ideology “as an effort to renew American patriotism and rebuild our country.
“We believe that individuals should be judged based on the contents of their character, not their skin. And we believe that America’s institutions should be colorblind, just as our Constitution is colorblind,” states the memo, obtained by POLITICO. “This is the same vision shared by civil rights icon Martin Luther King, Jr.”
Under Banks’ watch, the Republican Study Committee has taken on a larger messaging role inside the House GOP conference. Members of the conservative group were presented polling during their weekly lunch on Wednesday that shows 79 percent of respondents in swing districts do not believe children should be taught “that their destiny and inherent value depends on their skin color” — the definition the GOP has adopted for critical race theory.
Repubs are all Nazis.

nothing left but vinegar
What’s more proof of unintended irony that the cultural war is being lost by Republicans who write the expression “lean into” unironically.
when youve got nothing but traitors and pedophiles and criminals in your org...
I guess Politico got the memo and is following its instructions.
I want to hear people be able to tell what it is before they criticize it.
What happened to common core? I thought they were all angry about that a couple years ago.
Racism is organized crime. Investigate and prosecute Trump / GOP organized crime. Boycott and VOTE to expel Trump / GOP organized crime.
This is the same tired, racist but often politically effective crap they’ve been spewing since the 60’s. Sad that so many buy in.
Or, you know, come up with ideas and policies that actually help this country? Is that too much to ask for?
Never elect republicans if you value your life
Not surprised by the GOP revolt. GOP creates and believes in alternative facts. Afterall, they created a scenario where the 1/6 insurrectionists are just regular tourists. Another is justifying the state election laws to make voting safer; after an election deemed the safest.
Give us one -- just one -- example of critical race theory being taught in K-12 schools. We'll wait. 🙄
Just more white supremacist propaganda. New boss. Same as old boss.
Not one R in 10 could say what critical race theory is? Would it sound less “critical” if it was just described as American history with slavery and racism put back in?

That’s all GOP officials got for their voters.
What an idiotic article. You really think the resistance to CRT is 'grassroots'? I mean... the piece is literally about a coordinated campaign. Politico is a shonda.
Please identify the Disinformation campaign
The head of Congress' largest conservative caucus sent a memo titled “Lean into the culture war” to its Republican members Politico - 'Hold my beer'
When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist. Dom Helder Camara Critical race theory asks 'why do the new laws forbid blacks from voting on Sunday mornings when they used to'?. ...
Well, since they have zero platforms they are running on. Gotta have something for their kkkult to mad at today.
Whip up hate, racism, fivide us that is all ra knoe how to fo very well
Because Rs have no platform - just culture war.
Bigots
Spreading more hate and discontent
why are you not telling the millions of people who read your article that Critical Race Theory is not taught in schools? It’s not being taught in schools! And what the hell is wrong with telling truths? Do you think Germans shouldn’t know about Nazis?
Stop this nonsense! Politico, you enjoy keeping shit going.

Who in leadership is telling you to introduce poverty after putting disease on the u.s.?
they can directly tell their base that they are lying to them and they'll still have their support. Hatred of democrats is all that matters.
Because policy-wise they haven't got a damn thing.
I guess the Hunter Biden and Dr. Fauci mass rants haven't worked all that well.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about kimberlyalr88 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation
Please ask them each to define it. It’s not teaching the truth about history and no one teaches it in public schools. They appropriated it, lied about it, redefining it in their own twisted culture war.
MZanona read the piece twice & I'm confused. Is CRT taught in schools? If you can't point to it in any curriculum, and no one else can point you to it in any curriculum, do you think that's worth mentioning?
So….make stuff up?
Where is CRT taught? What type of students take a CRT course?
“Lean into the culture war” = GOP become more racist and denying racism exists 🤨🙄
Let's just blow ourselves up, it's good for business. Right, asshole?
Because they can’t win with anything of substance.
