Younkin's education team put together history standards that downplay slavery as the cause of the Civil War, call American Indians "immigrants" and generally doesn't teach history.[/quote]

This is not accurate as far as the draft I found online here, dated 11/10/22

https://www.iwf.org/2022/11/17/fact-check-do-virginia-history-standards-leave-out-the-civil-rights-movement/

Excerpts:

"During the course of study, students will examine the basic geographic features of the region, the history of Virginia’s INDIGENOUS PEOPLES, the story of English colonization, the arrival of Africans, and the development of colonial society, including slavery."

"The Civil War USI.9

Students will apply history and social science skills to describe the CAUSES, major events, and effects of the Civil War by:

a.  describing how SLAVERY affected the cultural, economic, and constitutional debates that divided the nation."

Draft also includes MLK. [/quote]
