Dan Newhouse (R-WA) cosponsored two key pieces of legislation introduced by Rep. Burgess Owens (UT-04), H.R. 3235 and H.Res. 397, to combat the Biden Administration's proposal to fund education programs informed by Critical Race Theory (CRT). "President Biden has abandoned his commitment to equal treatment under the law with his most recent proposal to fund Critical Race Theory programs," said Rep. Newhouse. "Teaching students to be ashamed of our country and to judge each other based on the color of their skin is wrong and divisive. Critical Race Theory has no place in our schools. I am proud to support Rep. Burgess Owens in these important efforts." "I grew up attending segregated schools in the Jim Crow South during a time when people were treated differently based on the color of their skin," said Rep. Owens. "Critical Race Theory preserves this way of thinking and undermines civil rights, constitutionally guaranteed equal protection before the law, and U.S. institutions at large. This is the United States of America, and no one should ever be subjected to the discrimination that our laws so clearly prohibit." Click here to read the full text of H.R. 3235. Click here to read the full text of H.Res. 397. Background: The bill H.R. 3235 would restrict the promotion of CRT within federal institutions by revoking President Biden's Executive Order 13950 Combating race and Sex Stereotyping that unwisely nullified the Trump Administration's efforts to stop CRT from being taught to federal employees. The resolution opposing teaching CRT in U.S. Schools (H.Res. 397), expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that CRT serves as an ideological tool and should not be taught in K-12 classrooms. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T19:57:00Z |
