Marsha Blackburn in Speeches at CPAC (2020s)
On Education:
Marxist Critical Race Theory is about indoctrination
Their goal is to replace education with indoctrination because that is an essential step for them. Essential to it with this Marxist CRT is no matter the subject, you can tilt it to being racist. They have made 2+2=4 racist.
They have made gifted and talented programs racist. They had said if your great-grandfather fought in World War II or your dad is in the military, that is racist and thereby you are racist.

On Foreign Policy:
Stand against Big Tech aiding Chinese Communist Party
Donald Trump was standing up for the United States because China is trying to cancel the United States of America. China and Big Tech have a cozy relationship and they have been allowing the Chinese Communist Party to spew all of their information.
I can't find anywhere that they have been censored, blocked, or banned. Big Tech is aiding and abetting the Chinese Communist Party in their push for global dominance, and we are going to have to stand against it.

On Principles & Values:
This country is the greatest place on the planet
I want them to learn that this country is the greatest place on the planet, that this is the country where dreams come true. This is where they can dream those big dreams, and it happens because the people decide,
they are going to fight back. And they're going to preserve faith, family, freedom, hope and opportunity for all our citizens and all generations.

On Technology:
Protect user privacy: take away Section 230 from Big Tech
Nobody has been hit like President Donald Trump. First, they decided they were going to fact check him, and then they were going to temporarily ban him and then permanently ban him, the leader of the free world. The leader of Iran, Putin,
other leaders are on there spewing hate. They have not been fact checked or banned that I can find. But us conservatives, we have had to put up with this. Big Tech, big media, and the Democrats are never going to stop trying to silence us.
Let's start with online privacy. Big Tech cannot threaten, data mine, or share your information with a third party without getting your explicit consent. It is your privacy. When it comes to censorship, they cannot come in and remove you, remove or
block you or throttle you without telling you explicitly why. Big Tech, we are going to take away from you the Section 230 provisions and we are going to save them for little tech, the new entrants in the marketplace.
