Not at all a hypocrite. Those schools provide an incredible education. We don't know what he said to administrators. Either way, he wasn't in a position to change the CRT teachings at his kids schools. He is now for Virginia public school and he is making good on campaign promises.

Except, as we all know, CRT isn't taught in Virginia public schools. Which is a damn shame, because the hysteria over the phantom menace is proof point 1 why it really should be.

Ugh yes it is. Just not under the mantle of CRT. Make no mistake, it's being taught.

No, it really isn't, you stupid idiot. Again, you're the poster child for WHY it should be taught. Regrettably, it isn't.

Let's stop with the two fictions: 1) That it is taught; and 2) That it shouldn't be.

Of course it SHOULD be taught. Most people agree with that.

Gah---name call much. But I guess your the tolerant one. It is being taught. My child is being taught CRT this year. I have the books and all to prove it. Perhaps you should get out of your bubble because no most people do not think CRT should be taught. Anti racism, definitely. CRT is inherently racist against both whites and blacks. Something tells me you haven't actually read up on CRT. Educate yourself.

DP. Please provide us with specific examples of how your child is being taught CRT this year.

Reading How to Be an Antiracist Hardcover by Kendi CRT 101 and this is in middle school not mention the fact that at every turn idea that because you are white you are bad is shoved down their throats. Wish they would do a deep dive on the 1960's civil rights movement and leaders.

We are well past "peace, love and understanding," love. Much of the Civil Rights movement was run by white people. Should we consult the teachings of Malcom X?

White people are happy to announce they're "color blind" and think that solves everything and lets them off the hook. Meanwhile, people of color want to be seen for who they are and what they have experienced. Every time you advocate for a "color blind" society, you invalidate those experiences.

The very fact that you keep insisting that conversations about race should be on YOUR terms is evidence enough that you should say less and listen more.

You're clearly beyond help. There's still hope for your children. We educate children for the benefit of society -- your wishes as a parent are duly noted but ultimately inconsequential. Literally no once cares what you as a parent want -- your opinion really doesn't matter.

And this my fellow Democrats is why the Red Wave will come! Stop talking this trash.

He campaigned on the evils of CRT and the need for parent choice on masking and followed through with day one executive orders. He sends his kids to a school teaching CRT (or at least what his campaign considers to be CRT) that requires masking. A good education for me, not for thee. Clearly he didn't care about either issue and was just pandering

I wish they would too, so Republicans can learn that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said a lot more than just that one thing that they quote all the time.

What are you talking about? You're delusional. In every race where some anti-CRT person ran for school board in November, they lost big time.

There are already mechanisms for parental involvement in schools and mechanisms for oversight. However, parents do not dictate what happens in the classroom or the curriculum. I realize we have a bunch of entitled millennials in the parent ranks now and they all think the world revolves around them, but this isn't how things actually work.

Youngkin can raise his kids with whatever approaches he is comfortable with.

Just saying I don't think this is the smoking gun you thought it was.

I support Youngkin and this is EXACTLY how I feel.

They can’t because that is how the Democrats really feel. Parents were unaware until recently how bad it is. And the Democrats are grossly unaware about how strongly we as parents feel against this. That’s why Youngkin won, plain and simple. And he followed up with the ‘tip line’ to make it clear that parents’ wishes DO matter.

Why are you prattling about "tolerance?" This has nothing to do with tolerance.

Did you just say "anti-racism" should be taught but then turn around and say "CRT is inherently racist against both whites and blacks?" No, it isn't. Teaching about systemic racism and how it affects society is not "inherently racist." Look, I realize you were probably raised by well-meaning white parents who taught you to be color blind and now might internalize the lessons of CRT. which causes you cognitive dissonance because you don't think you're a bad person or racist, and this is why you complain it "makes white kids feel bad about their skin color." But you really need to push past that and come to better understand how racist policies of the past still affect things today. That is not "inherently racist." The reason you think it's "inherently racist" is because it makes you uncomfortable because it forces you to do some self-examination about your white privilege (yes, it's a thing).

The thing is, if we can embed this stuff in schools (age appropriate), we can eventually get to the post-racist society you seem to think we already exist in (because to it's not racist unless Klan hoods are involved, but you cannot see the more subtle impacts because you literally refuse to look).

No one really cares if it makes some white children feel bad about their skin color. That's not the point of it at all, but you carry on like it is. High schoolers are certainly more than capable of discussing this stuff rationally, provided they can push down their defensive reactions to it , stop taking it so personally (it really isn't about you -- no one actually cares about YOU) and open minds.

But, no, your fragility is so much that you lose your minds, protest at school board meetings, and cling to this idea that you're a good person who couldn't possibly be racist. Get over yourself, that's not what this is about and the more you do this, the more racist you actually appear.

You make a lot of assumptions. Racism is complex. Yes there has been intuitional racism. Guess what, it's been against Jews, Catholics, Asians, and all other non-blacks and non-whites. Yet, CRT only focuses on the black experience and paints ALL whites as inherently racist. This is simply not true and not ok. CRT is being taught to middle schoolers. Not age appropriate. Make no mistake I believe strongly that racism exists in all its blatant and nuanced forms. I also believe that it's time to get over the idea that black people are the only ones who experience racism or that they are incapable of being racist themselves. Yes, we should all examine our biases. Yes racism is very real and evil. But CRT just perpetuates racism and makes it worse.

It does no such thing. That's just the inference of deeply fragile white people who cannot get over their cognitive dissonance. See previous post.

The problem is that you as a white person are making this conclusion. Your conclusion is inaccurate, flawed, and colored by your emotion and inability to think critically. It threatens you, so this is your reaction. But what you say isn't actually TRUE. Nor is your opinion about this VALID.

I have no doubt that "it's time to get over the idea that black people are the only ones who experience racism or that they are incapable of being racist themselves." I have no doubt that you, as a white person, are desperate for that narrative to be accepted universally. Because, again, you're making this all about YOU.

You THINK you're a good person and not racist. I believe you're probably a good person, but your inability to separate that from considering the possibility that you benefit from systemic racism is the problem here. Stop internalizing and making it about you. Once you do that, you might be able to drop your defenses and consider the theory a little more objectively.

^^^ meant to say I have not doubt YOU BELIEVE "it's time to get over the idea that black people are the only ones who experience racism or that they are incapable of being racist themselves"

Fully agree with this PP, except that the fragile person may not be white.

LOL. The bullsh1t "tip line" that is just another political stunt? Another attempt to fleece the stupids who think they should be able to walk into a school library and yank books they don't like.

Sure, his kids get exposed to what he obviously views as part of a complete education, but no public school kids are allowed to be taught the same things.

That’s why Youngkin won, plain and simple. And he followed up with the ‘tip line’ to make it clear that parents’ wishes DO matter.

Youngkin comes from the corporate world, where every large public company is required by law to have a whistleblower program. And the laws requiring this were championed by Democrats who wanted more corporate accountability to protect investors.

He's imported that mindset to the Governor's office, on the theory that more accountability on the part of large public institutions - and systems like FCPS have a huge annual budget - will protect parents.

Moreover, in FCPS, central administrators were pushing a program called "Equity Ambassadors" where certain students would be tapped to promote FCPS's equity agenda and field complaints from other students about alleged acts of racism and discrimination to share with Gatehouse.

So if you want to claim Youngkin is uniquely responsible for things like "tip lines," you might want to dig a bit deeper. And the fact that his own kids have attended schools that push the Kendi variety of anti-racism or require masks may give him first-hand experience with how oppressive some of those practices may be. Just because he thinks NCS or St. Albans provide his kids with a better education than they'd get at Langley HS doesn't mean he subscribes to everything they do.

I don't think the issue for most voters is what his kids did or did not receive.
I think they don't want their kids to be forced to learn CRT, or to be forced to mask, or to be forced into school closures.

Youngkin can raise his kids with whatever approaches he is comfortable with.

Just saying I don't think this is the smoking gun you thought it was.

I support Youngkin and this is EXACTLY how I feel.

I wrote that. I am a lifelong Dem. But I comprehend what his voters said in post election interviews.

Except, Youngkin didn't win because of CRT or anti-masking. He won because Asian communities freaked out that "equity" meant an erosion of their perceived advantage because it would dumb down accelerated math.

Youngkin LOST in Loudoun by a wide margin. It was narrower than recent elections for Democrats, but it was still a resounding defeat.

Elsewhere in the country where CRT and masks were literally on the ballot in November, candidates professing those hardline positions were rejected by wide margins.

Between Youngkin's terribly incompetent first week, his move on Roe and other extreme positions that are directly at odds with the values of typical voters, it's going to be a short honeymoon for him and his poll numbers are going to sink like a rock. He was already emasculated by many school systems in VA who told him he could eff right off with the mask thing, and the courts will shoot him down as well.

So, be careful drawing the wrong conclusions from his narrow victory in November. The backlash is only beginning and November 2022 is going to be a different set of issues, especially if Russia invades Ukraine and Omicron has faded. Other issues are going to dominate the mid-terms, not this ridiculous fight over phantom menaces of CRT and masking in schools.
