Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., has introduced a bill aiming to squash racial bias training in the military as the force faces a reckoning on extremism and white supremacy in the ranks.
The Combat Racist Training in the Military Act would prohibit the military from examining what Cotton considers "racist theories," most notably Critical Race Theory.
The military would be forbidden to "promote or otherwise encourage anti-American and racist theories that demoralize and divide its members," the bill states. The text adds that the force would not be allowed to facilitate any teaching that the "U.S. is a fundamentally racist country."
