Republican lawmakers are sounding the alarm about the Democrat-backed “infrastructure” legislation, pointing out that the bill is riddled with controversial far-Left political priorities to be funded by taxpayers. The $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill currently in the Senate would allocate $65 billion toward “digital equity,” expanding broadband internet services in poor and rural areas. As the bill stands today, 25% of the total digital equity grant money would be disbursed based on how many nonwhite residents live in a given area. Critics have condemned this part of the bill as an example of identity politics and a “racial quota.” The bill also uses the controversial language of “gender identity,” in passages about such mundane things as broadband access. “Sex is defined by our DNA. That’s science,” wrote Sen. James Lankford, R-OK. “The Senate should not try to redefine science by pretending it’s connected to infrastructure policy.”
