House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) is voicing his opposition to Critical race theory, saying it is the opposite of everything Martin Luther King Jr. taught Americans.

Senate Republicans have introduced a resolution condemning any requirement for teachers to have to train with it, and several Republican-controlled states have included it in legislation when discussing how public schools can teach race.
