You’re partly correct in saying that it doesn’t exist. Critical Race Theory, by name, is not a part of the official VDOE curriculum. You will not find it in so many words on the VDOE website. What you will find, however, are other references and statements to Equity, Cultural Responsiveness, Inclusion,etc,…all designed to slip it in under the guise of other parts of the left-wing agenda. Some of the larger school districts in Virginia are implementing CRT in the same, surreptitious manner. Fairfax County hired Ibrahim X. Kendi to give a speech to FCPS teachers regarding “anti racism”…and paid him thousands of taxpayer dollars. It also distributed copies of lesson plans based on the 1619 Project to all high school teachers of US History. These are the inconvenient facts that shouldn’t be ignored.

And you think all the teachers relay these lessons uncritically to the students? I am a teacher, not a propagandist and not a social worker. What I would like is less politicians and administrators of very average intelligence to stop micromanaging my job.

It is, however, clearly on the DOE website as a resource and information is presented. It's been there for some time.

Yes, I was totally confused by those posts insisting that Ds should have voted for Sears just because she’s black. WTF?

I don't think anyone should vote for anyone because of their color. However, if you look back that was the "push" for some candidates' supporters. And, Ayala's ad that ran repeatedly, over and over, kept stressing that--even though Sears was running against her.

And, Ayala had that phrase that she is an "Afro Latina." Like that was a selling point. There must surely have been another way to present it without being so blatant.

When she said she was Afro Latina I cackled.

I never understood why Ayala or Carroll Foy thought they had any chance of getting elected when their entire campaigns were identity rather than policy based, but maybe it resonates with students getting CRT-based pedagogy shoved down their throats in the public schools.

Why? We’re you embarrassed when McAuliffe got votes from blacks even less likely to have college degrees?

Dems only love the “poorly educated” if they vote blue.

Democrats want everyone to get an education.

Dems want everyone forced to go to government schools that they control, which is why they are so threatened by the idea of vouchers. As long as only the rich (or middle class who can sacrifice enough to scrape up the funds) have a choice in their children’s education, it’s all good.

Yes, I want my tax money to pay for public schools, not subsidize your private school tuition.

By all means. That doesn't prevent me wanting my tax $$ back as school vouchers.. See how that works?

Ok. I want my tax $$ back to hire my own police force. Fire dept. Landscaping for my home. Playground and running track just for my family to use. Etc.

Public funds, contributed by the public, pay for public services. See how that works?

Clearly. If any of those departments don't do their jobs, people want them defunded and it does happen at some places. See how that works?

You’re hilarious! That will never happen.

Lesson plans based on the 1619 Project, which serious historians have criticized as riddled with errors and dubious claims, should not be circulated to Virginia schools. Hannah-Jones isn’t an academic; she’s a bitter, hateful, left-wing polemicist.

Well our current curriculum white-washes history and covers up important facts.

Nobody minds more voices in our history curriculum. What they mind is oppressor / oppressed stuff. We Ds need to be able to call out radical left stuff as too much - to get the good changes.

Democrats are total hypocrites. They'll keep a Langley HS free of any economic diversity, but they'll call other people racist if they don't want to accept the radical left POV in classes at Edison HS.

How much great Asian and Hispanic history and culture in Virginia for the past few centuries has been covered up?
