White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday said Republicans are deliberately misrepresenting Democrats ’ positions on a range of issues related to education policy .

They’re not being truthful about where we stand, and they’re in there cynically trying to use our kids as a political football,” Ms Jean-Pierre said. Since late last year, many prominent figures in conservative media and politics have promoted the idea that Democrats and Democratic-aligned teachers unions are using “Critical Race Theory” — a term that normally refers to an academic framework taught in law schools but has been repurposed by GOP activists<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
