[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools in Northern Virginia will need to stop pushing the current DEI indoctrination, and other racist nonsense, or risk losing all federal funding.

No more using the false 1619 Project; no more Ibram X. Kendi “textbooks,”  etc.[/quote]

What is objectively false about the 1619 Project? Have you read the book? It's almost 500 page, not counting an almost 100 additional pages of notes (that's sources for you) and its index. There's nothing false about history written through the black perspective. Not all of the contributors are even black. Is it the centering of slavery in American history? Slavery of black people did happen. That's a truth. As a history major, we learned many different perspectives of historical events. We learned different theories. We debated different causes of different events. What was the cause of the revolution? What role did slavery play in it? Was the Civil War about slavery or states rights? That's an actual debate that scholars have. One can disagree with how someone else comes down on that debate, but it's okay to debate (unless, like you, you're into the n#zi side of things). Never, ever did learning someone else's perspective somehow hurt my feelings. Why is your white supremacy so fragile that you cannot allow students to learn all of history?

As to Kendi, what is so bad about being antiracist? What is so bad about self examination and self criticism? If you want your student to only learn about happy white supremacy things, great. You do that. But why are you so scared of the kids who are not so afraid and who want to learn more? Trust me, buddy, they'll also learn about Adolf and your pals.
