You have to catch these things before they get too far.

Anyway, apparently Youngkin has squashed the whole deal.

The next time Dems take over at the state level maybe they won’t try to decrease academic offerings.

VDOE already squashed detracking in April 2021. Academic offerings were not being decreased.

Youngkin is pushing these lies to fleece his followers.

VDOE only backtracked on that when the FCPS and TJ moms like Asra caught wind of the plan.

Afger getting caught, they backtracked and purged the VDOE website of the details that showed their plan was indeed to dumb down math standards and detrack students all the way from K through 10th grade.

The evidence was there on the Virginia Department of Education website. Many parents viewed the written materials and watched the videos.

You can make up and repost the same thing over and over, but you are being dishonest and inaccurate.

Another point, when VDOE revised the elementary school history standards last year, they added a bullet in the curriculum standards for history that elementary kids in Virginia are to be taught that Independence Day (July 4th) is a divisive and controversial holiday.

So if you have parents in elementary school, indoctrinating elementary kids to view the celebration of our nation's birthday as a bad thing was next on their agenda. The documents are available on the VA dept of education website. You just have to do some digging.

VDOE did consider de-tracking early in the process - in what they called the "building phase".
Yes, it was discussed.
Yes, there was a link about de-tracking on the website.


It is 100% lie to say that, after April 2021, VDOE was going to include de-tracking in their proposed changes.

Did not read the rest of the thread but wanted to say that I did something very similar to this in my private conservative Catholic school in the 80s. This is an old exercise.

Asra is a political hack who pushes lies and propaganda.

She also abused her position as a board member of TJ PTA for political purposes.

She should be ashamed of herself.

On October 15th 2020, the Dept of Ed minutes show that when revising history standards, Virginia would no longer teach the following information to elementary school kids:


"1.13a,b,c Essential Knowledge
People in Virginia’s communities are united as Americans by common principles and traditions. , such as
● celebrating Independence Day (Fourth of July)
pledging allegiance to the flag."

This standard was struck through and removed from our elementary school curriculum.

There are other changes made on that day that many, if not most people in Virginia, including democrats, would possibly find controversial and contrary to our shared values as Americans. Other people might not be bothered by the changes and might support them wholeheartedly.

This specific change stood out to me because our state board of ed promoting in our elementary kids the viewpoint that Americans and Virginians are not united by common principals and traditions, particularly the tradition of celebrating our nation's birthday on Independence Day is dangerous and wrong. It is anti American indoctrination, period.

The vast majority of parents do not scrutinize what is happening in educational leadership and curriculum development to this level.

It is VERY tedious to wade through these documents and do the deep search.

That is why I am very grateful for people like the TJ parents and like Asra and like #openfcps who are willing to do that boring and tedious research into the VA dept of ed and into the fcps school board and into Gatehouse. I appreciate them even if they can be at time over the top, partisan and sensational.

Look at these meeting minute from 10/15/2020

They are long, tedious and boring. Most people won't look but those people do, then share what they find. We should all be so diligent. And if it is too much for us, we should be grateful that they are willing to dive deep and share with the rest of us.

Having schools that don't indoctrinate our kids to one political viewpoint, that don't teach our kids to despise our country and eachother, don't excuse pornographic content over "the gay perspective" (aren't there books and literature that present LGBT issues in a healthier and non pornographic, more uplifting way that aren't normalizing promiscuity?) and who don't divide our kids should NOT be considered just a republican thing.

Don't those on the left also want those things?. Don't they also want schools free of politics, that focus on academics, teach kids to love and respect one another in spite of our richly different life experiences, and which teach our kids to love our country so they view it as something worth fighting for as they work to create a more perfect union?

The northern Virginia parents discovered the plan ro detrack in early spring and raised a ruckus, to the VA department of ed backtracked and purged those plans from their website.

Several school districts in the state had already initiated detracking diluring their spring class registration process based off VA DOE guidance, due to the timing of the changes overlapping with their class registration.

The outcry by parents, particularly NoVA parents was loud, passionate and swift once these plans became public.

So the VA dept of ed changed course in April 2021.

If there had not been a publicizing of this plan by diligent parents, the plan to detrack would have continued. They only stopped because they got caught.

Could it be that that standard was removed from first grade because it’s being taught in second grade?

DP. Could it be that this should be taught in both 1st and 2nd grade?

How is this change defensible?

It is not. Just like having a FCPS SB member who votes against honoring the memory of those who gave their lives on 9/11.

Go easy on Omeish. She has a big burden dealing with the superintendent she called too dumb and too white.

Okay, we get it. You think July 4 should be taught as a divisive holiday.

I didn’t say that. You can’t make a point without lying?
