"We cannot have an Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, or Space Force where young troopers are looking to their left or right and seeing not fellow citizens who've took an oath to the Constitution ... we can't have them looking at their noncommissioned officers and officers wondering if they're getting tough duty because of the color of their skin, we need them to see each other simply as fellow Americans," the senator said.

According to the Associated Press, "Critical race theory is a way of thinking about America's history through the lens of racism. Scholars developed it during the 1970s and 1980s in response to what they viewed as a lack of racial progress following the civil rights legislation of the 1960s. It centers on the idea that racism is systemic in the nation's institutions and that they function to maintain the dominance of white people in society."
Black military personnel just need to calm down and remember who’s in charge. And why. So saith the Senator from Arkansas.
