Maybe some gullible people got caught up in it but the falsehoods and outrageous speculation around it were definitely pushed hard by the RWNJs. Including Youngkin.

Gullible enough to listen to what they were saying and what they were pushing on their website.  One person posted here an e-mail received from Tina Mazzacane explaining what they were doing.
"VMPI proposals do promote equity and that the practice of isolating low-achieving students in low-level or slower-paced mathematics groups should be eliminated."
She put up a poll in one seminar and when teachers objected to detracking, she said 'We still have a lot of work to do."

They only backtracked after Ian Serotkin posted Loudoun's math pathways graphic to Facebook, and it appeared on Fox News.  And the governor realized it could hurt McAuliffe's campaign.
They also canceled the planned video of math and equity.[/quote]

Right. The RWNJs pushed falsehoods and wild speculation in an effort to garner votes.

Speaking of wild speculation…even if that email were true, that doesn’t mean VDOE would “ban” districts from offering advanced/acceleration options.  :roll:

Instead of having a rational discussion about updating the math standards, the right made VMPI some kind of boogeyman that had to be destroyed. Even today people still think it’s a thing. Look at this thread.

Tina Mazzacane: [b]"We intend to eliminate tracking"[/b]

You: "That doesn't mean they intended to eliminate tracking!"[/quote]

She never said that. She certainly never said VDOE would ban advanced/accelerated options for every k-12 public in VA.  :roll:

Irrational fearmongering.
