On Wednesday, the House Armed Services Committee held a markup meeting for the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which authorizes the annual defense budget. Late Wednesday night, Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) proposed an amendment to the NDAA that would ban critical race theory (CRT) teachings in the military.

The amendment contains language from Rep. Bishop’s (R-N.C.) and Sen. Cotton’s (R-Ark.) Combating Racist Training in the Military Act, for which Heritage Action issued a key vote co-sponsorship in July.

However, the Democrats in the House Armed Services Committee voted unanimously to reject Rep. Banks’s common sense amendment. The message is clear— Democrats embrace and endorse the racist teachings of CRT.

Our latest polling shows 79% of Americans are opposed to the racist teachings of CRT. Americans are fighting back.
