BoCo GOP executive committee calls for School Board to ban CRT | Eastern NC Now

The Beaufort County Republican Executive Committee voted unanimously Tuesday night to call upon the Beaufort County Board of Education to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory in county schools and to reject the radical new state Social Studies curriculum.  The resolution is expected to be presented to the next county school board meeting.

Praising Dr. Martin Luther King's call for people to be judged "on the content of their character instead of the color of their skin", the resolution blasted Critical Race Theory as "an attempt to divide America on racial lines like earlier Marxist theory tried to do on class lines" and pointed out that it was part of so-called Critical Theory developed by Marxist ideologue Herbert Marcuse.

The Republicans praised the seven states that have so far banned teaching of Critical Race Theory and the North Carolina counties that have already either banned teaching of Critical Race Theory or rejected the radical new state Social Studies curriculum.
