leading to the belief that there is inherent superiority, or inferiority or guilt of any
one race is the definition of racism, a repugnant and erroneous ideology which is the basis for Critical Race Theory and the 1619 Project and it’s like; and
WHEREAS, Critical Race Theory teaches and implements theory that there exists in the United States inherent racism in the legal and law enforcement entities which creates inequalities in all aspects of society against non-Whites; and

discrimination between pupils - “In none of the public schools so established and
maintained shall distinction or discrimination be made on account of sex, race or
color” and Section 12 - Sectarianism prohibited - “No sectarian instruction,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that Wyoming schools must reject Critical Race
Theory and not advocate for other related curricula to include, but not limited to,
Marxist doctrine, socialism, and other teachings that encourage division based on
creed, race or economic status.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Republican Party opposes the promoting of any ideology of racism or its components by any name at any level of education or government and supports the Wyoming Constitution and a constitutional
amendment will secure this effect.
