Former state Representative [[Barbara Norton]] of [[Shreveport]], [[Louisiana]] received national attention in 2016, when she pronounced the document "racist."
Former state Representative [[Barbara Norton]], a [[politically correct]] Democrat from [[Shreveport]], [[Louisiana]], received national attention in 2016, when she opposed a state bill that would require the teaching of the Declaration of Independence in public schools. Norton called the Declaration "racist" because it applied to [[Caucasian]]s but not [[Slavery|slaves]]. She argued
that if "our children will recite the Declaration, I think it's a little bit unfair."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/05/28/louisiana-state-representative-barbara-norton-declaration-independence-racist|title=State Rep: Declaration of Independence Is Racist|publisher=[[Fox News]]|accessdate=September 1, 2020}}</ref>
