Ok, so what grade(s), which book(s), and which school library or libraries? Specific examples, please. |
DP. They all refuse to answer with specifics. Please point me to the elementary schools that actually have sexually explicit books on their shelves. |
[twitter]Any school teaching that systemic racism is still a thing or that white privilege exists is teaching that CRT is true. |
Any school teaching that systemic racism or white privilege still exist is teaching that CRT is true. And how do you know trans kids weren't using bathrooms not aligned with their sex? |

IMO, Youngkin clearly had higher aspirations and made some sort of faustian bargain that if he could deliver a republican victory and get an abortion ban passed in Virginia, he would run for president and the evangelical base would line up behind him.
He repeated, ad naseum, that Virginians wanted to be a national leader in showing the country what "reasonable abortion restrictions" are. I can't think of anyone who says: "you know what keeps me up at night, not the economy, or housing costs, or school issues, or my kids, or the job market, but whether or not my state of Virginian can be a national leader on reasonable abortion restrictions! I can't sleep." Youngkin acted as if this was THE only issue Virginians cared about, that it was a statewide concern. I suspect his same strategists from the campaign carefully crafted these talking points, and he stuck to them like flies on $hit. From my online research only about 20% of Virginians claim to be evangelical, leaving 80% not. His claims made no sense, and his "disappointment" is insincere. Politico did a short podcast with his gubernatorial strategists right after the 2021 election that I found fascinating into his "branding". And this latest 15 week shenanigans plays right into it. Here is the link. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/11/05/glenn-youngkin-republican-strategists-519609 |
Um, systemic racism IS a thing and white privilege DOES exist. Why is it so scary to you to acknowledge reality? |
Teaching about racism and privilege =/= "CRT" I learned about racism and privilege in elementary school in the 80's in southern VA. No one claimed I was being taught CRT, and my parents (white, middle class) didn't raise a stink about it. |
Did you attend a school with a Black Lives Matter sign over the front door? In many school systems, there's an entirely different approach than when you were in school. |
No, of course not. Nor do my kids, and we are in Loudoun, which is supposedly overrun with leftist CRT types if you believe everything Fox News tells you. From the standpoint of learning about racism and privilege, I don’t see where my kids are getting any more of a “woke CRT” education than I did. |
WTF? Sounds like you need to go back to school to learn about systemic racism. |
This post right hear is the epitome of white privilege!! |
Yeah he made a mistake of leaning into the abortion thing. Way too many people I know are against abortion out loud but secretly would never vote against it in a state election. |
No one said these books are in elementary schools. My kids read them in their high school libraries. |
Which books? Which high school libraries? |
High school. Gender Queer, Lawn Boy, and This Book is Gay. So you should be happy that these sexually graphic books are being accessed by kids. That was your mission, no? |
