[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The short answer is no. But I certainly hope Youngkin spends most of his political capital fighting CRT in schools. That would be a super productive use of it. Better than, say, saving me a penny in grocery tax on an apple.[/quote]

I guess if he’s spending months banning something that doesn’t exist, he can’t screw up the rest of the state.[/quote]

You’re partly correct in saying that it doesn’t exist.  Critical Race Theory, by name, is not a part of the official VDOE curriculum.  You will not find it in so many words on the VDOE website.  What you will find, however, are other references and statements to Equity, Cultural Responsiveness, Inclusion,etc,…all designed to slip it in under the guise of other parts of the left-wing agenda.   Some of the larger school districts in Virginia are implementing CRT in the same, surreptitious manner.  Fairfax County hired Ibrahim X. Kendi to give a speech to FCPS teachers regarding “anti racism”…and paid him thousands of taxpayer dollars.  It also distributed copies of lesson plans based on the 1619 Project to all high school teachers of US History.  These are the inconvenient facts that shouldn’t be ignored.[/quote]

And some of us don’t have a problem with the topics you listed above.[/quote]

Lesson plans based on the 1619 Project, which serious historians have criticized as riddled with errors and dubious claims, should not be circulated to Virginia schools.  Hannah-Jones isn’t an academic; she’s a bitter, hateful, left-wing polemicist. [/quote]

Well our current curriculum white-washes history and covers up important facts.[/quote]

FCPS is minority black if anything we should be more concerned with the Asians and Hispanic, the blacks are fine[/quote]

And those individuals are not discussed in our history at all.[/quote]

Nobody minds more voices in our history curriculum.  What they mind is oppressor / oppressed stuff.  We Ds need to be able to call out radical left stuff as too much - to get the good changes.  [/quote]

Democrats are total hypocrites.  They'll keep a Langley HS free of any economic diversity, but they'll call other people racist if they don't want to accept the radical left POV in classes at Edison HS. [/quote]

I don't disagree.[/quote]
