2 options:

- CRT does not exist in VA schools, so you have ZERO to complain about the EO, or

- CRT-like curricula (such as the divisive 1619 Project) are indeed taught, so you and McAuliffe were lying and dishonest this whole time, not to mention, you were trying to spread hate in our schools.

Pick one.

Here's the problem - look at the actual text of the order:

"...identify inherently divisive concepts, including concepts or ideas related to Critical Race Theory..."

That isn't a ban on CRT, that is a loosely worded ban on teaching racial concepts. That has a chilling effect on teaching history, which sometimes touches on very uncomfortable topics. We know that they aren't going to go as big as banning something like the teaching of slavery, but what about more recent issues such as segregation/integration and redlining? You absolutely cannot explain the current state of affairs in America without teaching that Black people were discriminated against for well over a century after the Civil War.

No, not "racial topics," CRT, which you claim isn't in schools so we don't have anything to worry about.

NP and teacher in NOVA. It absolutely is in schools and the mindless indoctrination “professional development” sessions on the topic we are required to sleep- I mean sit- through. Thankful for Youngkin win!

Of course it is. It is just hilarious that the progressives think they can simultaneously claim "CRT isn't in schools," while being terribly offended that it could be banned from somewhere they say it never was.

DP. The EO doesn’t only refer to CRT, it also references “divisive” topics, which is incredibly vague and problematic. For instance, it could be decided that teaching kids slavery was a key motivator for the Civil War is “divisive” because some legacy confederates don’t want to acknowledge that, and then have school banned from teaching the role of slavery in the Civil War.

Actually there is a specific definition of "inherently divisive concepts" that is directly tied to Title IV and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Had this order been issued by a Democratic Governor in, say, 1985, it would have been viewed as progressive. It's only because the order was issued by a Republican Governor, and because the educational establishment has tacked so far to the left, that this is being attacked.

Boo hoo for all the pnk-haired social studies teachers who won't be allowed any longer to turn Government classes into screeds about how the U.S. is inherently racist, Republicans are evil, and the idea of meritocracy is a farce.

Hey dummy, this country was built on racism. We are inherently racist.

SpeaK for yourself. BIPOC people are not racist.

White people are racist and they need to both atone for their biases/systemic racism, and pay reparations.

Everything I read in there made me smile. Finally on the right path now.

That’s because you are a sociopath. Even my very conservative parents despise the man.

The fleece vests worked as planned.

Operation Fleece ‘Em worked.

Operation Fleece ‘Em is hilarious 😂

Not nearly as hilarious as Operation Triggered.

Do people who posts on an anonymous Mommy board go on "spring break?" Maybe you should post this on the Teen Forum.

With that "y'all" it seems like you would be happy to have someone who could bring back you great grandpappy's confederate statue.

DP. This seems like something a fail as an insult, but I guess there was an attempt. C-

Picking the first option. I never heard of CRT until it blew up in the media. I'm still not even sure what it is. It has never been mentioned at schools I know about.

Signed,

Virginia teacher (Northern VA)

I think the EO's are a big nothing burger.

You were required to attend the “subconscious bias training,” along with all the other divisive, race-based indoctrination training, like equity training and inherent bias training.

Yet, you never connected that with CRT? You must not have been paying attention.

Here is a radical thought:

- how about academicians focus solely on academics, instead of political indoctrination?

Why do you assume all school districts have the same training?

And WTF is wrong with anti-bias training? It’s the most basic “how to be a decent human” training you can have. Every big corporation offers it.

Speaking of nothingburger

You don’t understand. Most conservatives don’t work corporate or office jobs. They don’t have college degrees and work more service sector roles like construction, trucking, trades, etc. they would have no idea of what normal HR training like anti-bias training.

I assumed most of the people on DCUM shrieking about "CRT" were professionals.

No?
