(WASHINGTON TIMES) – An advocacy group organized in February to “combat critical race theory” said it will continue its battle of words with The Salvation Army, promising to fire a barrage of social media advertisements asking the charity to say America isn’t racist.
In a video-streamed news conference, Kenny Xu, president of Color Us United, said his group believes The Salvation Army, an evangelical Christian church known for its “Red Kettle” holiday season fundraising, has departed from its mission by forcing race-based discussions on its clergy, called “officers” in the Army’s terminology.
Mr. Xu said The Salvation Army is “covering up the [critical race theory] that is infiltrating their institutions through the framework of ‘Let’s Talk About Racism,’” a discussion guide the group pulled from circulation earlier this week in response to donor pushback.
