Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Senator Hawley is right: Radical ideologies such as #CRT have no place in our schools.
Biden’s Department of Justice must stop weaponizing themselves against America’s parents who are looking out for the best interests of their children.

“…Ideologies…”
Some of the responses:
Thank for revealing your support for intimidating, harassing, and threatening school board members.
Where in your district is CRT taught?
Tell me where this is being taught. Please list the schools or school districts that are teaching CRT.
According to the memo from DoJ, people are using “harassment, intimidation, and threats of violence against school administrators, board members, teachers, and staff.”
This is the definition of terrorism.
@RepHartzler – are you saying you support terrorism?
teaching American History is not “critical race theory”
you and your tribe desire to “memory hole” atrocities committed against brown and indigenous people, much like neo-Nazi’s deny the Holocaust (also your tribe)
pushing racism is not in our students’ best interest, Vicky
What makes critical race theory radical?
Our schools do not teach CRT.
Do you have a problem with students learning American history? Civics? Critical thinking?
Or would you prefer Americans for the most part be unable to discern bull crap when they smell it?

The GOP used to be the party of personal responsibility.
The GQP is the party of “terrorism is acceptable, so long as it supports our views.”
That’s no different than Al-Qaeda.
Anti-American extremist Vicky Hartzler supports white supremacist terrorists who threaten teachers, because being decent for even a moment will cause her to melt.
Senator Hawley supports terrorism, though. He can sit down. Teachers are getting attacked and having their lives threatened. It sounds like you now support threats of physical injury and death against the nations’ teachers and school administrators. Voters, take note of this!
Made up controversy for morally bankrupt party that doesn’t even pretend to take governing seriously any longer

Critical Race Theory has no place in Missouri schools.
Since #CRT has entered the national discussion, Missourians have expressed strong disdain for teaching our students that this country is inherently racist.
Kind of late to the right wingnut talking point bandwagon, eh?
And, as always, there is much hilarity in the responses:
Number of schools in your district where critical race theory is taught: 0
Number of counties in your district where COVID infections have increased due to Delta: 24
she’s never, NEVER in a setting where she must answer questions or defend her propaganda
can’t have a @RepHartzler without a sophisticated insulation system in place where the information only flows in one direction
If we were true to the Constitution, you wouldn’t even have the right to vote, Vicky.
I’m not sure why you wouldn’t want our actual history to be taught, unless you’re ashamed of it.
I stand with all the people who know the consequences of lying about history in order to make people feel better instead of teaching fact in order to *BE* better
Critical Race Theory doesn’t have a place in Missouri schools because it’s not *taught* in schools. It’s a graduate-level course with a specific meaning for students studying law and civil rights.
How ashamed of our country’s history, good and bad, do you have to be to want it not even to be taught?
Your party can not create a policy platform that serves its constituents so it defaults to these non existent culture war topics. Sad.
THIS parent is far more concerned about gun violence when I send my kids to school than the idea that their teachers might suddenly decide to teach them a grad-school theory. How about you deal with a REAL problem.
The fact that these hearings have been non-inclusive and one sided tells it all.
Right? “Here’s a bunch of white people to explain why we’re not racist, just ask anyone (white)!”
@RepHartzler CRT is not taught in 1-12 class rooms but I would like you to explain exactly what it is. Because unless you took the course in college, I’m guessing you can’t.
I was only able to watch 3/5 of your speech.
Someone wins the Internets today.
Unfortunately for you, kids don’t need to be taught CRT specifically to pick up on how the webs of power in this country heavily advantage some and disenfranchise others. They just need to go out in the world and meet people who are different from them. Sorry that scares you.
Well since its not taught in k thru 12….
The dog whistles are getting louder…
You could fit everything you know about Critical Race Theory on the head of a pin.
What a shocking turn of events, another mindless, virtue signaling republican coming out against CRT. [….]
You don’t even know what CRT is. But because it involves discussions around dismantling racism, you are against it.
You know what that makes you.
And tell us where this is taught? This is just catnip for your base.
Stop insulting your constituents by thinking we are stupid.
Was slavery racist?
And was it part of the law?
Heck, slavery was part of the original US Constitution.
Why don’t you want folks to know our Constitution?
Critical Race Theory is the new scary term the Right is using to create hysteria. Schools aren’t teaching it, never have and never will in any K-12 class.
Stop lying!
You look more and more like Gaetz and Greene each and every day.
That’s a feature, not a bug
There’s a republican primary for a U.S. Senate seat in Missouri in 2022.
@RepHartzler, please have a bit of respect for your constituents. CRT is taught in *zero* public schools. You honestly believe your district is that stupid? Please work for the welfare of Missourians, and stop this performative bullshit.
Spreading false information in an effort to spread hate & fear makes you & your fellow representatives worthless legislators & actually hate-filled human beings. [….]

Today in the legislative special session which is supposed to address the right wingnut controlled Missouri General Assembly failure in the regular session to continue the legislation enabling the previously non-controversial Federal Reimbursement Allowance [FRA] program for Missouri:

35 others by virtue of their race or sex.
36 2. It shall be the policy of the state board of
37 education not to promote or allow divisive concepts in
38 public school curricula or instruction.
What a pandering ahistorical fool.
Uh, in 1787, at the founding of our nation and in our Constitution there were those who were not “free Persons” who were defined as 3/5 of a person. If that isn’t fundamentally racist, what is?
…For the poor it consists in sustaining and preserving the wealthy in their power and their laziness. The poor must work for this, in presence of the majestic quality of the law which prohibits the wealthy as well as the poor from sleeping under the bridges, from begging in the streets, and from stealing bread…

The scene tonight at a raucous Loudoun County school board hearing where many came to voice opposition to critical race theory. The meeting was stopped when the crowd wouldn’t quiet down and two were arrested.
