The Biden administration's obsession with the "poisonous, racist ideology" of critical race theory (CRT) has distracted the U.S. military from its core mission, as evidenced by the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, according to a Republican congressman.

"Every institution that is being infused with critical race theory" is facing a "rotting effect," with the most dire consequences for the military, which "requires an esprit de corps" at odds with race essentialism, North Carolina Rep. Dan Bishop told a Just the News/Real America's Voice special on CRT.

Gen. Mark Milley "should be fired" for telling lawmakers that criticized West Point's teaching of CRT that the Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman wants to understand "white rage," Bishop said.

While his legislation to ban CRT in the military and federally funded programs has an uphill battle in a Democratic Congress, the lawmaker said he was encouraged by North Carolina and other state legislation to narrowly exclude CRT from education curricula without glossing over the ugly parts of American history.

"What most thrills me ... is to see moms and dads in school board meetings across this country hammering officials" for promoting CRT, Bishop said. "In the same way General Milley's gotten the military off track, it's going to take a persistent effort in which we press on all fronts."
