This is about so-called anti-racist and CRT influenced ideas being used in public schools. Call it the successor ideology, whatever you want. If this were about not teaching slavery or Jim Crow, and so on, it would have been an issue three, four, five, six, seven... years ago. But it wasn't. Why?

Because white conservatives are not allowed to be against teaching the history of slavery and civil rights movement of the 1960s. There's social consequences for things like that (or there were...). So, instead, they attack adjacent movements and modern leaders in the civil rights struggle.

It's called Dog Whistle politics. And wealthy conservatives have been doing it since forever to get poor whites agitated.

Because Republicans have decided to make this into a wedge issue (and, quite probably, they’re being aided and abetted in this by propaganda created by Russia). Their base only exists in anger, and racism is one of the issues that really gets them going. They cannot have students learning the truth.

Because the people who it’s aimed at have a tenuous connection to truth and facts. According to them, COVID is a conspiracy to inject 5G chips, and black people enjoyed slavery.

There used to be a time when we made fun of people who were proud to be morons. Now we empower them. It’s not enough that they make their own kids uninformed losers, they want all kids to be uninformed losers.

Wait, people in NOVA think black people enjoyed slavery? How many? Can you point me to them?

Morons. Hmm.

Truth hurts

OK, those textbooks are very well known and haven't been used in 50 years.

Tom Cotton is ideologically the same as Youngkin.

So’s McConnell

So’s Jason Lewis

So are a whole host of others.

Textbooks like that were used well into the 1970 in some schools in Virginia. Seems as if some Virginia parents learned it that way and liked it.

Way to go, Virginia. You didn't need your kids to have good critical thinking skills anyway. MAGA!

They decided they didn’t have enough under-educated home school kids; they have to undermine public education so no one gets a good education.

So, unless a teacher calls it the war of northern aggression, she will have injected her personal bias, right?

Give me a break. Do you really believe that the lunatics who will call to complain about teachers will be reasonable people who support reasonable educational standards? If you answered phones for one day for any elected official you would realize how many delusional zealots and misinformed gullible and paranoid people are out there being spun up to call inn. People already complain about teachers all the time. This is a state supported effort to purge Virginia schools of any teacher who tells the truth about civil rights.
