“Critical race theory, the 1619 Project and the crusade against American history is toxic propaganda — ideological poison that if not removed will dissolve the civic bonds that tie us together,” he said.

Trump recently authorized White House budget director Russ Vought to cancel federal workforce trainings that use “critical race theory.” Vought set up a tip line on Wednesday.

Trump said that the rise of critical race theory actually promotes prejudice.

“We embrace the vision of Martin Luther King where children are not judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. The left is attempting to destroy that beautiful vision and divide Americans by race in the service of political power. By viewing every issue through the lens of race, they want to impose a new segregation. And we must not allow that to happen,” Trump said.
