They see how well they hooked the inner city poor, this is the only way to get at the affluent.
This normally would sound pretty far fetched....although, what we are seeing now isn't normal. As scary as it seems to believe this , I think you are close to the truth.

I think you missed my point .

The headline is false , but your post agrees to the premise that it is true .

Don't ever agree to the premise of an outlandish headline like this z go do research. As I said in my other post, even the article someone posted to try to prove the article is true says , titles like this are the opinions of republicans and that nothing in the actual legislation says that .

The Democratic Leader clearly saw this would be made political and thats why he pulled it. Look at your own link , They called out Jennifer Wexton and Abigal Spanberger( both congresswomen), when this is a state legislature issue.
I'm not arguing with you and the link I posted was because it showed that the bill was pulled.

WRONG.
Most of the young parents I know voted for Youngkin. Please show proof it was seniors.
I and many of my neighbors voted for Youngkin because of his strong policies, not just his stand on CRT and parent’s rights. He also had an incredible choice of powerful leaders w proven integrity and courage for his administration.
And BTW it’s written right in the Virginia education handbook to stress the importance of teaching CRT. Not madeup nonsense…..

I don't agree that the premise is true, the larger issue is Youngkin's attempted roll back of VA schools transgender policies. This congresswoman is just background noise that gives the right wing some semblance of credibility with their anti-trans policies, this is was the winning issue that Youngkin ran on.

Here from VA’s dept. Of education:

Foundations of Critical Race theory in education
….”more recently CRT has proven an important tool in the field of education….”

https://doe.virginia.gov/administrat...19/050-19.docx

Virginia DOE telling teachers they hav to embrace CRT

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/vir...t-being-taught

There’s plenty more documentation— Google is your friend

Thankfully Youngkin has stopped it or is in the process of it….

Not surprising that you didn’t actually read the attachments…the one that clearly states:


“Finally, because the Department has received many related inquiries, Critical Race Theory (CRT) is not included in the Virginia Standards of Learning, which comprise the content in each subject area that the commonwealth's school divisions are required to cover in their local curricula. Nowhere in the standards is there a requirement for schools to teach critical race theory, or to incorporate critical race theory when presenting required content.

As stated in the memo, the purpose of the document was to support division leaders as they further the shared goal of fostering schools that are welcoming and respectful of all students, families, and school staff.”

.

That's one of many newsletters that the dept of ed puts out, it's not "telling teachers", it is not a directive.
