Good. I hope he does, although I doubt it will be that simple. CRT is not a "thing," but a concept and unfortunately, one that has infiltrated all areas of curriculum. He won't be able to simply "ban CRT," although he could orchestrate more reason, balanced reviews of things like curriculum and text books, and work to root out ANY implicit bias.

Sounds like you are a big supporter of “CRT”.

DP. Are you saying you support race-based bias? Because that’s sure how it sounds.

How could it sound like that when I didn't say anything about what I support or don't?

I said...it sounds like the PP is a big supporter of "CRT" if PP wants to "root out any implicit bias".

Pp here and nope, not at all. You see, teaching things like the founding of America was one of the greatest achievements in human history is not “bias.” It is a fact.

Would you consider that a "balanced review of things"?

As a long time Democrat voter in Reston area, this is the conclusion I've come to. I'm going to vote for Youngkin. I thought my DH would fall over when I told him that -- then he said that he's had the same thought as well. It really is all about the so-called culture wars and what is going on in schools. We have young kids and I don't like a lot of what I'm seeing.

Why do you people keep posting this garbage? You are not a "longtime Democrat." Give me a break.

These sorts of posts seem designed to appeal to black-and-white thinking, low-information, identity focused voters, lby people eager to shift votes. They expect readers to identify with the poster — the purported “Democrat”, feeling that they have solidarity with others voting Republican for the sake of their “young kids”. This is trash, and right out of the Fox “news” playbook. They try it because it’s a tactic that works well with certain kinds of voters — including the kinds who talk about “culture wars”. Wonder how much the PP got paid per post?

Facts not "nonsense"

It’s actually a crisis — if you love America, you shouldn’t “get over it” and look away while Republicans try to take our democracy away by undermining elections and whitewashing violent coups.

Your arrogance and condescension - all in service to a left-wing ideology whose goal is to discredit hard work and merit and instead radically redistribute wealth and opportunities in society - has gotten stale. People don’t need to take their cue from a network playbook to switch political allegiance. They merely need to observe how weak leaders like Biden and retail politicians like McAuliffe have allowed themselves to be captured and manipulated by the far-left.

I’m all for teaching the good, the bad and the ugly, as long as we stick to facts and not interpretation. That the US endured slavery for too many years is a horrible reality and a birth defect of this country. That does not supersede the fact that the founding of the US is one of humanity s greatest achievements. Both of those statements can be true at the same time

Slavery is a fact.

"the US is one of humanity's greatest achievements" is an opinion . I might agree with you but that's not a fact.

Not to a serious student of history. The founding of the US, in context of all world history up until that point, is factually one of the greatest achievements made to that day. So is walking on the moon, as another example

Exactly.

This isn’t a “regular” election year. The US is in a state of crisis.

The GOP is actively trying to throw out election results without evidence.

Based on what criteria? How were events ranked? How far back were events under consideration? How do you define “achievement”?

Show us the work behind this “fact”, not opinion.
