The attack on critical race theory — the examination of social, cultural and legal issues as they relate to race and racism — remains a popular rallying cry for Republicans as of late, going all the way up to the government’s highest levels of power.
The latest incident? CNN’s Kristen Holmes has reported that Senate Republicans are now actively delaying approval of President Joe Biden’s nominee to lead the Office of Personnel Management over concerns that she may have a favorable stance on critical race theory.
According to Holmes, “GOP Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri has placed a hold on Kiran Ahuja’s nomination to lead the federal personnel agency ‘because of her history promoting radical critical race theorists.’”
