Newly unearthed documents reveal that during his tenure as the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe’s Education Department was pushing public schools to teach critical race theory (CRT).
According to a 2015 training program issued by the Virginia Department of Education, state public schools were encouraged to “embrace critical race theory” and “engage in race-conscious teaching and learning” as part of the program’s “Culturally-Responsive Teaching and Learning Principles.” The slideshow also urged schools to adopt a “critical race theory (CRT) lens” when surveying “culturally-responsive alternatives” to school suspension.
Moreover, Virginia’s Education Department has continued to promote critical race theory under the state’s current Democrat governor, Ralph Northam. In 2019, State Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane sent out a memo to school division superintendents that describes CRT as an “important analytic tool in the field of education” that offers “critical perspectives on race” and “the dynamics of power and privilege in schooling.”
“Our commitment to advancing equity outcomes and fostering inclusive and welcoming environments for Virginia’s students is resolute,” wrote Lane. “As education leaders — we have the opportunity and an obligation — to facilitate meaningful dialogue on racism and bigotry with our students, staff, and school communities.” The memo was issued in response to the blackface scandals that had rocked the state’s Democrat leadership a few weeks prior.
Furthermore, the Virginia Department of Education is currently using critical race theory to define terms such as “white supremacy” as part of its statewide “Anti-racism in Education” initiative.
What a clown show.
His ass if FINISHED & his CRT !!!!! NOT in MY AMERICA !!!!!!
