White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended American colleges and universities teaching theories of systemic racism as ‘responsible’ on Thursday as she denied allegations that it amounted to ‘liberal indoctrination.’

The issue has become one of the frontline skirmishes in the country’s culture wars in the wake of last year’s Black Lives Matter protests.

Conservatives allege that students are being taught a warped version of American history that claims the impact of slavery remains present throughout society.

And Sen. Tom Cotton this week introduced a bill that would raise a 1% tax on endowments held by the country’s wealthiest schools to fund job training schemes. . . .

During her daily briefing, Psaki was asked about his proposal and whether America’s most prestigious universities were indoctrinating young people

‘Well without much detail of where he thinks our youth are being indoctrinated, it sounds very mysterious and dangerous,’ she said with a smile.

‘I don’t think we would think we believe that educating the youth, next leaders of the future, leaders of the country, on systemic racism is indoctrination. . . .

Cotton’s legislation is entitled the Ivory Tower Act.

‘Our wealthiest colleges and universities have amassed billions of dollars, virtually tax-free, all while indoctrinating our youth with un-American ideas,’ he said when it was introduced.

‘This bill will impose a tax on university mega-endowments and support vocational and apprenticeship training programs in order to create high paying, working-class jobs.’

He and his allies have criticized the New York Times 1619 Project, which offered a new look at history based on the date when slaves arrived on American shores, and the teaching of ‘critical race theory’, which asserts that systems and institutions protect white privilege. . . .

Republicans around the country have introduced bills targeting what they see as liberal indoctrination.

This week the Texas House passed a bill limiting what can and cannot be taught about race and racism, including concepts that ‘one race or sex is inherently superior to another,’ or that someone is ‘inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive’ based on their identity. . . .

What do you think of Psaki’s comments on Sen. Cotton’s Ivory Tower Act?

Like many others see what I am seeing & hearing, Psaki is nothing more than a regurgitating ideologist who has been appointed to spit forth lies. No matter how factual she sounds, she is a fake. She is paid to lie, to rebuff and in many instances, when confronted with the truth – she is a smart alec. Her disrespect of others who hold more important positions than her is truly sad. She has a professional arrogance about her that will get her in deep trouble.
She is a very honed professional liar being paid to keep up the leftist charade agenda… telling us it’s one thing when it is nothing more than more smoke and mirrors from this heinous administration. I pray that God will break through and change her heart or that she will be exposed for what she truly is and removed from her position.
