Im ok with switching parties in leadership from time to time, but id rather it not be a Trump Republican. I just can’t trust people willing to tear down faith in democracy and politicizing a pandemic. Their just isn’t anything beneath people like that.

The fight against CRT in K-12 has been going on for about a two years. Only recently did it rear it's head in VA so Youngkin didn't make it up.

Forget about labels. Please articulate what specifically was being taught in VA classrooms that you think should stop.

Or is it the possibility that CRT may be taught in the future, as other posters have said?

The most common way CRT is showing up in K-12 is the teaching of anti-racism which is more often than not, racism. And the most common way anti-racism it taught it with books like Stamped by Kendi. Kendi advocates for discrimination against whites and attempts to indoctrinate kids with this belief in his book. His coauthor admitted this in an interview with Trevor Noah last year.

For years parents complained teachers taught to the test. Please show me where in the SOLs there is any mention of CRT or “anti-racism.’l

And stop with the nonsense that anti-racism is in fact racism. That’s some Orwellian doublespeak right there. I am fully cognizant of the fascist impulses of right-wingers, but keep that stuff out of our schools. The irony here is palpable.

No rigor. We moved to Private 4 years ago and have no regrets. But not everyone can do that and education is the key to advancement and success in life and public schools have to be good. But they aren’t right now and I care about that a lot. It is important for our society.

To date, I'm still OK with APS public schools, but I live in a nice area and our schools are close and pretty well rated. But we know we will never get financial aid for our kids, so we are super-funding our VA529 accounts to give each kid about $400K for college and graduate school. I teach them my morals and they let me know when their teachers are indoctrinating them with politics, they recognize it, keep quiet, and appreciate hearing a different point of view (but usually not well thought out). For example when a former Swanson teacher (now elsewhere but with APS) was very pro-Obama and played his political ads in the classroom or had the kids debate why the electoral college was racist. The teacher never once mentioned that it was an agreement between the states to protect small states' rights - my kid realized that was pretty bad. That is the main reason for the electoral college, and the teacher never brought it up as an explanation. We supplement with tutors as needed. We like most parents, just not the overly progressive ones (people don't know our politics,) who wear theirs on their sleeve or their very active virtue-signaling yard sign.

I think it's gross that you are so dismissive of the needs of poor kids, even if those kids aren't my kids.

The issue is only with what is being taught, but also how work is being evaluated. There are teachers in NoVa who Tweet regularly about how they are striving to be "equitable graders," which suggests they are not grading objectively but instead based on their understanding of a student's race and SES.

We want to expose your children to people with intelligence, style, manners, and taste.

Op My kids go to private school, so they already get that, and not from a bunch of brats whose parents think making $150k a year gives them the authority to go scream at schoolboard members like a bunch of hillbillies.

If you children attend a private school, why are you concerned about public schools? Do you work in one of their cafeterias?

Op I do not care about public schools. I voted for Terry McAuliffe. I literally could not care less about what the public schools teach. If your kids are learning something you don't like, that's your problem for not being able to afford private schools.

I just literally can't even imagine debasing my vote on something that happens in a public school lmfao.
