The harpies at “The View” pushed more falsehoods during their show on Monday, claiming that teaching about Martin Luther King Jr.’s legacy is now outlawed in schools.
“And I know that his legacy, MLK Jr.’s legacy, is under direct attack now. His legacy of voting rights, and that saddens me. And I’m frustrated by that,” co-host Sunny Hostin falsely claimed.

Hostin then falsely asserted that Republicans banned schools from teaching students about MLK Jr.
“And I know because nine states, you know, have passed so-called Critical Race Theory legislation, 20 states in our country are passing that kind of legislation, that are children all over the country that won’t learn about Dr. King’s work. His life’s work. The work he gave up his life for,” she argued.
Hostin went on to claim that Republican efforts to pass voter ID laws amount to passing “voter suppression laws.”
“And then I think about the fact that 19 states have passed voter suppression laws. That 34 additional — that have passed 34 laws to suppress the vote,” she said. “And so, I’m reminded on a day like today that we have so much more work to do, and I think we’re up to the task, and I hope that voting rights laws will be strengthened.”
In the same segment, cohost Whoopie Goldberg ignorantly claimed Democrats fought for civil rights during the civil rights movement, when in fact the Democrat Party was historically opposed to civil rights during that period.
“We fought you before many times and we’ll fight you again,” Goldberg said to Republicans.
Exploiting MLK Day, Whoopi says "these voting rights … we will get them back."
Unironically, she declared: "We fought you before many times and we'll fight you again."

The reality is Republicans in several states have banned the divisive critical race theory from being taught in schools.
Critical race theory is diametrically opposite of MLK Jr.’s teachings of freedom and equality under the law; instead it promotes the idea that individuals should be judged based on their skin color and equal outcomes must be implemented based on race.
From MLK Jr:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
