America First Legal (AFL), a group led by former Trump adviser Stephen Miller, has criticized a proposed grant priority by the Biden administration that seeks to promote controversial racial concepts in the classroom.
AFL submitted a formal comment to the U.S. Department of Education condemning its proposed rulemaking that would incentivize schools to teach the quasi-Marxist critical race theory to its students. The department recently announced the proposal, known as the “Proposed Priorities: American History and Civics Education,” which introduces two new priorities for grants.
