This is about so-called anti-racist and CRT influenced ideas being used in public schools. Call it the successor ideology, whatever you want. If this were about not teaching slavery or Jim Crow, and so on, it would have been an issue three, four, five, six, seven... years ago. But it wasn't. Why?

Because there are Virginia high schools that do NOT teach slavery. My kid met a fellow freshman from VA at college (they are freshmen, btw) and the kid says he never learned about slavery in APUSH. Said it was taught as a states right issue.

I find it laughable that the GOP is afraid of the big bad China right now. Do you know what they don't teach in their history books - the cultural revolution. It does not exist.

Of course, I reported this to the hotline.

I reread my post and he did not learn about slavery as a civil rights issue in the CIVIL WAR. They taught that it was a states right issue only. Based on what you posted that is entirely possible given that it specifically says they only talk about slavery in 1607-1754 in British Colonies. Sure, the second piece says it mentions Frederick Douglass, but I see plenty here that could be open to conservative interpretation.

It's McCarthyism. Big brother. Someone will have to get hurt before he backs off unfortunately.

What a complete loon he is.

We already had this in LCPS to report racism. Why is it so terrible all of a sudden? Everyone was all for it when it was to report racist incidents in schools. What's the difference exactly?

Do you have a link for that line to report racism?

^ I think I found something about that Loudoun tipline. It seems it sparked the same kind of outrage.

Yes, and a Loudoun Co. judge ruled that it was fair to have a tip line reporting bias. So interesting that this was a-ok with our resident liberals, but of course, they're outraged that Youngkin decided to do something similar.

A U.S. District Court judge in Alexandria on Wednesday dismissed a complaint that sought to suspend the Loudoun County School Board from operating a program the division adopted to combat systemic racism in the school division by collecting data on accounts of such incidents.

There is no difference. Just sheer hypocrisy (as usual) on the part of liberals complaining about this.

Everyone should report the governor.

Parents could and have brought to light problems with teachers before.

Teachers are employees, and accountable to the people who employ them... and they can't say anything they want in class, just like I can't at work either.

I think this about teaching about racism. If Mr White Supremacist doesn’t like what teacher says, he can report it.

Oh, I’m comfortable with teachers not being accountable to white hood wearing jerks. I want my children to get an education, not a RWNJ indoctrination.

Yes, all those white hood wearing jerks in NOVA. Look what they're trying to do. Live in reality, it will help you.

I guess you haven’t been to southern Virginia.

Give me a break. Do you really believe that the lunatics who will call to complain about teachers will be reasonable people who support reasonable educational standards? If you answered phones for one day for any elected official you would realize how many delusional zealots and misinformed gullible and paranoid people are out there being spun up to call inn. People already complain about teachers all the time. This is a state supported effort to purge Virginia schools of any teacher who tells the truth about civil rights.

+1

Why do teachers need to be policed more than politicians, the police, the money handlers behind the scenes? Because the GOP declared a war on teachers. It’s amazing to see how some find it acceptable to police teachers this way. You won’t like it when they decide your kids can’t learn what you want them to learn.

Because the people who it’s aimed at have a tenuous connection to truth and facts. According to them, COVID is a conspiracy to inject 5G chips, and black people enjoyed slavery.

There used to be a time when we made fun of people who were proud to be morons. Now we empower them. It’s not enough that they make their own kids uninformed losers, they want all kids to be uninformed losers.

Wait, people in NOVA think black people enjoyed slavery? How many? Can you point me to them?

Morons. Hmm.

Truth hurts

OK, those textbooks are very well known and haven't been used in 50 years.

And the GOP would like to return to this or something akin to it. It’s lucrative to have an enemy and to direct people’s ire against that enemy.

It’s done effectively by the GOP and others against:

Black people,
Immigrants,
The “Arabs,”
Teachers.
Other assorted brown people.

However, billionaires and oligarchs are to be lauded.

Let's talk about teachers with political agendas.

I have never, EVER heard of a teacher doing this - but certainly, any teacher braying about their own personal political beliefs should be reported - at the very least to the school administration. Do you have an actual (REAL LIFE) example of a teacher doing the above? We'll wait.

Yes.

One of my kids is taught by Trumpers. They don’t believe masks work or that covid is real.

And amazing how quickly they've purged Charlottesville from their minds, along with all of the Virginia white supremacists, neoconfederates and neonazis that showed up.

Have any of you actually been to a school board meeting? Youngkin set up this hot line so the crazies could bypass the local school board and give him amunition to expand charter schools and "school choice". This isn't a solution to anyone's problems, it's a front for Youngkin to take money out of the public coffers and hand it to for-profit companies.
