Bill Summary

A BILL To prohibit the United States Armed Forces from promoting anti-American and racist theories.

AI Summary

This bill, the Combatting Racist Training in the Military Act of 2021, prohibits the U.S. Armed Forces and Department of Defense-controlled academic institutions from promoting anti-American and racist theories, such as Critical Race Theory, which claims the U.S. is fundamentally racist and that individuals are inherently oppressed or oppressive based on their race. The bill defines "promote" as including these theories in curricula, hiring speakers to advocate them, compelling service members to affirm belief in them, and segregating individuals by race. However, the bill does not restrict protected speech or prevent access to these materials for research or independent study, and allows for educational contexts that do not endorse the theories.
