Republicans ask Biden to withdraw ‘divisive’ proposal to teach more Black history

The proposed policy would support teaching that "reflects the breadth and depth of our nation's diverse history and the vital role of diversity in our nation's democracy," according to a notice posted on a government regulation website.

It would encourage schools to adopt projects that incorporate "the systemic marginalization, biases, inequities and discriminatory policy and practice in American history."

The Republican Party, which remains fractured after Trump’s false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him, has sought to brand Biden as a divisive leader controlled by leftists.
