Cornyn, Other Republicans Push For Biden Administration To Expand CRT

If you're keeping an eye on what Sen. John Cornyn has in store for your Second Amendment rights, you might want to watch his other hand. He has just recently reintroduced the Civics Secures Democracy Act, which would enable the federal government to impose critical race theory (CRT) that is, state-sanctioned racism and anti-Americanism on public school civics courses via federal grants.
Of course, the drafters of the bill are too politically savvy to explicitly endorse critical race theory. Instead, the legislation provides for $6 billion in federal grants to states, nonprofit organizations, institutions of higher education, and researchers to improve civics and American history education primarily for "traditionally underserved students" (sections 102-106). The bill makes clear that grant applications must demonstrate how the applicant intends to prioritize the education of such students.
As explained in detail by Stanley Kurtz at the Ethics and Public Policy Center (see here and here), this anodyne-sounding terminology masks a deeply partisan agenda an agenda that parents are fighting across the country. Kurtz reports that while the re-introduced bill removes a previous iteration's problematic references to "action civics" (leftist political agitation for course credit), its central focus on "underserved" students is key to how the Biden Department of Education will implement it.

6 (six) BILLION?
I’m pretty sure we can teach civics in a better way and not spend more money than we are already spending on education.
Make it a full year course, make it mandatory, and use the money in the already existing textbook funds to update the old civics textbooks from the early 1980’s.
Didn’t Trump only ask for $4 billion to build the wall across the entire southern border?
