Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., on Monday introduced the Love America Act, which seeks to promote patriotism in public schools and prohibit federal funding to those that teach the country’s foundational texts are rooted in racism. SEN. JOSH HAWLEY RIPS BIDEN'S PUSH FOR TEXT MESSAGE SURVEILLANCE: 'IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF BEIJING'The Love America Act would also block federal funds from going to schools that teach such texts are a product of White supremacy or racism. Hawley said his effort is a response to the left-wing push for critical race theory to be taught in schools. In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Hawley described critical race theory as "poisonous" and called it "a lie" to teach students that America is "systematically racist." "The only way to replace those lies is to teach kids the truth and that's what the Love America Act is about," Hawley said.
