[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is just like people 100 years ago who wanted Christianity included at school, not for their own kids but for those other sinners. Now, it's the religion of the woke that has to be forced onto other kids.

They pushed it too far, it was such an issue that it became an election issue, and now the balance is being restored.

These people are still in denial though of how far they pushed it. Reminds me of a divorced spouse who was abusive, still saying their ex is responsible for everything wrong in their marriage when the judge already decided against him because of his abusiveness. The first step is admitting these people may have even partially a valid concern.[/quote]

woke religion = teaching about MLK? using correct terminology?[/quote]

MLK was taught about in those standards at the K level. And the Native Americans thing was a ridiculous error by a sloppy consultant who should be fired for producing something with typos and not having it reviewed from a political lens.

The original VDOE draft left out George Washington as the father of the country and James Madison as the father of the constitution (supposedly the VDOE claims that was a typo). There's only a limited amount of time and when you start choosing "imperialism" and turning US history into all oppression standards, things have to be tossed out.

It's like in the movie PCU - "I think Bisexual Asian Studies needs its own building. The question is what goes. The math department or hockey."

Youngkin ran on this issue, he won on this issue, and the woke far left is going to have to accept the social studies curriculum is getting pushed back towards the middle (Rs and moderate Ds have already accepted it).[/quote]

You think you sound very smart, but it’s clear you were napping or not sophisticated enough to understand more than a simple, Great White Man view of American history. Those of us who have dedicated years studying the original sources and not some bowdlerized propaganda textbook written for an 8th grade audience know better. Trust the people who have done the work, the historians. [/quote]
