I mean, as a minority, I think it would be good to have a more balanced history curriculum and race sensitivity lessons. However, that doesn't mean CRT or CRT-based lessons is the way to get us there. From what I know about CRT, it's a divisive ideology that is made up of a lot of ideas that I don't agree with. I don't agree with calling things like punctuality, perfectionism, math, etc...as characteristics of white supremacy. These are universal characteristics held my many people of all races and are important qualities to building a civilization and being productive. Also, it implies that non-whites don't have these qualities, and that's insulting and racist. Some do, some don't, in all races. Also I think it's really damaging to a black child's soul to tell them they're oppressed, and to a white child's soul to tell them they are oppressors. This type of indoctrination is meant to divide our society. It doesn't belong in our classrooms. Parents should just have the option to teach it at home if they agree with it.

I agree. Parents need to know what exactly is being taught or proposed to be taught on this subject. CRT is not the benign race sensitivity training that some would like us to believe. If you really take the time to understand what it is, you might start to see what the controversy is about. The left wants you to believe it's just a bunch of white supremacists who oppose CRT, but that can't be further from the truth.

I feel like everyone that uses the term “CRT” needs to define it first.

Same with “white supremacy” then.

the more times I see that current ad, the more creepy it becomes to me. The old white dudes are moving like zombies. Especially at the end. WTF?

The question is whether the add is working. If they keep showing it then maybe? Still weird though.

if they are supporting the big lie and/or the insurrection, then I think that is a good reason not to meet with them

There’s a profile on a Republican candidate from SW VA in today’s Post. He ran to the right of the extreme right incumbent and he won in the primary. He traveled to Wisconsin in support of the big lie. This is the Republican party that is waiting in the wings if people elect Youngkin.

He is not meeting with the VPBA because his record, as is true for most of the Democrats, is really not pro-law enforcement.
He would not be able to field questions dealing with supporting law enforcement. It is really that simple.

McAuliffe looks like a movie villain. The guy who runs a cabal in the shadows.

Yes, in some circles someone who stands up for voting rights, democracy, and the rule of law is a villain.
