Please tell me more about this parents are in “charge of the child’s education.” So some uneducated bigot gets to decide that because they don’t want their kid to learn about slavery, none of our kids can. Or do you just want your kid to be able to opt out of US history and study the Bible? [/quote]

DP.  Sorry - who, exactly, has said they "don't want their kid to learn about slavery"?  Do you generally make up lies as you go along, or just on Youngkin threads?[/quote]

Republicans love to gaslight. Youngkin created a tip line as a vehicle to enforce his first executive order to “end the use of inherently divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory” in K-12 schools. The executive order does not define critical race theory, or CRT, which is an academic framework not formally taught in any K-12 school curricula. The term has become a buzzword among conservatives that has been used to describe almost any acknowledgment of racial inequality in U.S. history or current events. Rhetoric criticizing CRT was a key feature of Youngkin’s election campaign. So yes, you Republicans are able to call in and complain about slavery being taught. And don’t lie and pretend that you aren’t the party of Ron DeSantis trying to teach kids that slavery was good for the slaves because it taught them skills. Feel free to educate me on the evils of CRT though. [/quote]
