News story is [url=https://wjla.com/news/local/stafford-county-board-teaching-1619-project-critical-race-theory]here[/url].

The resolution concludes:

[quote]NOW,  THEREFORE,  BE  IT  RESOLVED  by  the  Stafford  County  Board  of  Supervisors  on  this  the  21st  day  of  September,  2021,  that  it  be  and  herby  (sic) does  denounce the teaching of the 1619 Project and critical race theory (CRT) and related 
principles in Stafford County Public Schools; and

BE  IT  FURTHER  RESOLVED  that  the  Board  does  not  support  students  of Stafford County Public Schools being requested to identify their chosen pronouns.[/quote]

One of the "whereas" clauses says the Board of Supervisors will "stringently review all appropriation requests from the School Board" to ensure funding isn't dedicated to the practices they denounce. The resolution doesn't go into any detail on what they mean by "critical race theory" or "teaching of the 1619 Project," so it's a little tough to know what kinds of things would trigger them to withhold funding. Some pedants would say that CRT is only an obscure school of legal theory that would never find its way to the classroom. Others might characterize CRT as anything that discusses racism as an ongoing thing. And there is a whole lot of ground in between. And, it's tough to say whether "teaching of the 1619 Project" just means having the kids read the essays from the news paper project. Or, would teaching about the events described in the newspaper project also cause consternation?
