They literally voted in Youngkin on the CRT issue .

Now he’s going to “ban” crt 😂 given it was never taught in schools that’s pretty amazing

As for these school board crazies good luck VA you just voted to destroy schools. And now have screaming religious zealots with their lovely Church going behaviors. Fun times! [/quote]

Saying that CRT was "never taught in schools" is the latest mating call for progressives in denial who just got their asses handed to them on a platter.

No one was claiming 4th graders were being forced to read law-school texts on CRT.  What has been said - and, correctly so - is that CRT-motivated pedagogy is now standard training in school systems like FCPS, and then impacts entire school systems.  Here is an excerpt from part of the introduction to one of the leading CRT treatises:

When a bumbling educrat like Scott Brabrand spends the better part of the last two years claiming "equity is at the center of everything we do," that is more than a slight nod to CRT.  And it really isn't helping anyone, except the "anti-racist" experts and consultancies, like the one founded by Merrick Garland's son-in-law, who get rich milking school systems to sell their speeches, training sessions, and surveys.  [/quote]

What's ironic is that this same group of people will argue until their face is red, that there are things such as implicit bias, or that our systems are inherently racist even though they are not outwardly or explicitly racist. But when it comes to CRT, all of a sudden, even explicit references to CRT ideology and terminology is somehow not CRT because it's not the whole thing that is taught in college courses. [/quote]

Stop laser-focusing on "CRT" then and articulate exactly what it is that you want to go away. Stop throwing tantrums and use your words.
