Background:

Senator Tom Cotton has introduced the Combatting Racist Training in the Military Act (S. 968) which will keep critical race theory out of the military. This bill will prohibit the Armed Services from teaching that any race is superior or inferior to another.

The Senate should add this bill as an amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act, or the NDAA. The amendment will be introduced in the Armed Services Committee.

Please take time on Tuesday to call some of the members of the Armed Services committee and tell them to “keep CRT out of our military by adding S. 968 to the NDAA.”

Call Script:

Hello, my name is [NAME] and I’m calling today to voice support for the Combating Racist Training in the Military Act (S. 968).

I encourage you to support adding this bill to the National Defense Authorization Act as an amendment.

CRT should have no place in our military.

Teaching service members that they are inherently superior or inferior to those that they serve alongside will demoralize and divide units, undermine cohesion, and make them less effective in combat.

S 968 will prohibit the Armed Services from teaching that any race is superior or inferior to another, which is something we should all agree about.

Please tell [SENATOR] to support adding S. 968 to the NDAA.

Thank you.
