(KUTV) â Utah Congressman Chris Stewart is supporting the argument, saying Utah's educational system does not exist to rewrite history through the lens of "wokeness". Together with Utah Parents United, Stewart says he has grave concerns for Utah schools specifically, calling the teachings of CRT "inaccurate" and "destructive" for young learners. In a recent article by the parents' group, Stewart cited the 1619 project which he said would redefine the birth of the U.S. as the year slaves first arrived in North America. This contradicts the idea that the U.S. was born with the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
