Is anyone stupid enough at this point to believe CRT is just a harmless, anodyne program of "raising awareness"?

The school system that doesn't do a particularly good job of fulfilling its primary mission of basic education needs to focus on that mission, not get diverted into political indoctrination.

I hope it isn’t anodyne or harmless. There are plenty of people in Fairfax who need to have their worldview seriously harmed— you realize that you had neighbors storming the Capitol *under confederate flags* on January 6 right? That Virginia has textbooks saying how benign slave holders were to their “property”? Seems to me the time is well past due for some uncomfortable truths.

I'm far from White and I take exception to this generalization. I don't know a single person that did this. If you do, out them. They should be shot for treason but you can't generalize the behavior of an entire state with this broad accusation.

How does telling a bunch of UMC kids that they’re privileged change society at all? Do you think they don’t realize it?

Right. That is all that this is about. You like your privilege and can't stand the idea of not having an advantage.

Interesting. So you believe that the goal of CRT is to remove advantages that white people have by virtue of their race?

Ha, about FCPS being a great school system! Only now they are changing from the Lost Cause narrative?
Pathetic!

You're a liar. Go back to your klan meeting, Karen.

See, this is what the left wing is doing.. which includes how they teach CRT, you disagree, you are racist.. btw, i am hispanic

+1 agree with you and I’m doing everything I can to get this school board changed.

Doubtful.

Here is an excellent and thoughtful overview of why CRT does not belong in primary education. It is 15 mins - I encourage everyone to watch.

Can you explain to be how it’s political indoctrination?

Waste of time. If it needs to be explained to you, then you are incapable of understanding the explanation.

IOW, you can't answer the question. Typical.

This is completely untrue. There are I think two writing tests left? One in 8th grade and on in high school.

Good grief. FCPS struggles to teach math and science to kids in grade school, and we think they'll know how to instruct students how to unscramble that egg?

Who knew that when Scott Brabrand said "the main thing is the main thing" before he was hired in 2017, he was referring to pushing CRT and "anti-racist" nonsense rather than focusing on academics?

This clown needs to be shown the door.

He will be in June of 2022.

The question is, who do you want to be on the school board picking his replacement, which needs to be done within a certain relatively short timeline per VDOE rules? If it's not this school board, then better get on signing the recall petitions so they can go to court:

We need to make sure kids are reading using a science-based literacy curriculum, writing well, and able to excel based on where they are (as Brabrand likes to say, met "by name and by need"). For that, we need a less politicially oriented, more moderate school board.

You won’t accept any explanation, due to your ideological blinkers, so why even bother.

These are the type of rage-fueled "experts" who get a platform these days at Yale: https://bariweiss.substack.com/p/the-psychopathic-problem-of-the-white

And this is exactly where FCPS is heading unless folks put a stop to it now, which means getting rid of the current School Board and Superintendent as soon as possible.

I definitely thought it was going to be about the mental illness that driving white males to commit mass murder ( school shootings, etc). Obviously, murders can be any race or gender - but in terms of non-criminal-related murder - that is a very specific group. That lecture is weird

You have to wonder what is up with all these poc running to these countries run by white males.

That kind of mental illness is deeply troubling.
