Rep. Burgess Owens introduced a bill Tuesday that would ban the federal government from funding diversity trainings that divide employees based on their race. Owens' Say No To Indoctrination Act comes in response to the spread of the controversial doctrine of critical race theory in schools, governments, and corporations nationwide. "Critical race theory, however, teaches students that America is irredeemably racist and intrinsic characteristics like race, color, and national origin define you. In June, President Biden signed an executive order that required race and diversity trainings at the federal government level which Republicans have argued is divisive and only enflames racial tensions. Former President Trump issued an executive order during his presidency intended to curb the spread of the divisive training, but that order was rescinded by President Biden.
