A teacher at the U.S. Air Force Academy who boasted in a recent op-ed of teaching critical race theory in her classroom should be removed, members of Congress said this week.

In a piece published by the Washington Post, Lynne Chandler Garcia, an associate professor of political science at the academy, claimed that the Constitution once “allowed slavery” and that racism has been “ingrained” in the U.S. military system “from the beginning.”
