I don't think you belong to the human race.

WTAF?!

Given that most DEI means: hire more black people no matter what, discriminate against white people so black people can catch up, and include everyone but white males, I agree that DEI should be flushed down the toilet.

1. CRT is not being taught, never has been.
2. He has zero role over curriculum, let alone books, despite his saying that he does. He doesn't. Everyone knows that.
3. Parents are not expected to write curriculum. Nor are they able to ban books.
4. He ran on this false gasoline to entice the right wing crowd. Why, after all the progress Virginia made, would women vote this opportunist in?

Unfortunately CRT is being taught in many VA schools. Any school teaching anything written by Kendi is teaching CRT.

This is at the core.
He really did run a brilliant campaign, but it's the same campaign that all GOP's do... scare the ever loving life out of our constituents, SSI they think their precious way of life is under assault.

CRT was NEVER going to be an issue in public schools because it's only offered in college, but he terrified parents with CRT, and they fell for it.

He won't be fulfilling 90% of what he promised because he's going to play it so safe.

So don't worry Virginians, your marijuana, abortion, oh and schools free of all CRT are safe. 👍🏻

CRT has been an issue in schools for several years unfortunately. Many parents just found out about it during virtual learning.

I'm super excited for Youngkin. Think my neighborhood in MoCo is going to appreciate even more!

I'm not excited for Youngkin but I do think masking at schools should end in a couple months. If it doesn't, what IS the end point?

This is spot on. We're probably not teaching CRT to tots, but the curriculum is definitely influenced per this excellent op-ed by a linguist at Columbia: https://archive.md/dL0RU#selection-597.336-597.422

Personally, yes, I am very excited to see what Gov. Youngkin will do to stop the marxists from taking over FCPS school system. I have long considered myself a leftwinger but when gay muslim bipoc studies overtakes actual learning, we have a breakdown of the fundamental purpose of schools.

is there an actual course or book in school about gay muslim bipoc studies? My gay Asian HS student is studying the three branches of government in her APS history and has never studied anything about gay or Muslim people in school.

I'm talking about what the school board sits around blabbering about all day.

I still don’t understand why so much emphasis is being placed on the shrinking Black minority as every year Hispanics are becoming the dominant minority and soon a majority.

Is it white guilt over slavery or white avoidance knowing that they will soon be a minority and are setting their race up for equitable treatment.

I suppose there will be some appreciation in your Chevy Chase Village neighborhood as MoCo continues to lose jobs, raise taxes and attract a high need population. You will continue as an affluent enclave encircled by homeless encampments.
