A Texas representative contributed $1 million in taxpayer dollars to a nonprofit that teaches youngsters that the United States is a “white supremacist system.”
Rep. Colin Allred, the House Democrat running against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, has invested taxpayer funds in an education group that promotes racial equity teachings to 4-year-olds, promotes the idea that the country is built on a “white supremacist system,” and seeks to incorporate Black Lives Matter teachings into youth classrooms.
Allred, who currently represents Texas’ 32nd Congressional District, requested and received $1 million in community support for Big Thought, a Dallas-based charity, in fiscal year 2023.
Big Thought, which Allred claims “serves over 100,000 youth annually,” aims to incorporate race and gender topics into grade school curricula, including the promotion of “racial equity and identity” teachings to 4-year-olds so that they can “see the world through an equity lens.”
The company gives a link to “Andi Boi,” a play about a transgender youngster that promotes the idea that “more and more young people are coming to terms with gender identity and transitioning,” via an internet portal to one of Big Thought’s “Learning Partners.” The play is recommended for children in grades 7-12, according to their website.

Big Thought published a tape of a young teenager saying, “America should be spelled with three K’s because their favorite hobby is collecting black bodies,” in a 2020 Facebook post. Along with the video, the group noted that the individual’s statement “projects hope that our nation can change, our communities can heal, and youth can lead the way.”
In addition, the Allred-backed group released a comment in 2020 about the country being based on a “white supremacist system.”
Big Thought also advocates gender and LGBTQ education. On page 12 of its “What We Are Reading” portal, the youth-oriented nonprofit promotes the article “The Best LGBTQ+ Influencer Accounts in North Texas.”
A public conversation with EmbraceRace is promoted on their “insights and reports” page, in which it is taught that “by the age of five and six, your kindergarten student has already begun to categorize people based on these social norms and to move into, slowly move into, acting on those, and that’s where pre-prejudice becomes prejudice.”
At least twice this year, Allred praised Big Thought on his Facebook page, writing in January that he was “proud to secure federal funding to help them continue their important work” and that his “story wouldn’t have been possible without the help of” organizations in his community like Big Thought.
Regarding House Bill 3979, which outlaws CRT, Sanders stated in a 2021 Facebook post that it “takes us backwards on the journey to a more equitable society.” “House Bill 3979 shackles teachers and places blinders on our children. It will be detrimental to future generations.”
Sanders is also a strong supporter of the effort to defund the police. According to a 2021 post on X, then known as Twitter, the Big Thought CEO urged supporters to donate to BYP100, an organization that seeks “a world without prisons or police,” in a Facebook post.
Defunding the police and integrating “Bringing Black Lives Matter into the Classroom” into every grade level instruction are two policies that Big Thought has publicly backed.
“By age five and six, your kindergarten student has already begun to categorize people based on these social norms and to move into, slowly move into, acting on those, and that’s where pre-prejudice becomes prejudice,” according to a public conversation with EmbraceRace that is promoted on their “Learning Partner” page.
“We join the rising voices of a diaspora across our cities, states and nation against the root of this ill: white supremacy and systemic racism,” the company’s website claims. “Racism is the reason why students of color are disciplined more frequently and harshly in schools than their White peers.” Racism is the reason that people of color are more likely to be imprisoned and serve longer terms than White people. Racism is the reason that people of color die from Coronavirus in greater numbers than White people. And it is because of racism that police brutality is a leading cause of mortality for Black males, accounting for 2.5 times the rate for White men.”
At the time of publication, neither Allred’s congressional office nor campaign had responded to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
