‘Teachers need to be taught how to question Whiteness,’ book promoted by Virginia education department says
Virginia’s Department of Education is promoting a book that says “teachers must embrace theories such as critical race theory.”
Terry McAuliffe has said throughout his gubernatorial campaign that the radical ideology is not taught in Virginia schools.
The department’s website provides resources for its equity initiatives, which includes a tab titled “What We Are Reading.” The list, comprised of resources the equity office recommends and references in its work, includes books by anti-racist advocate Ibram X. Kendi and Abolitionist Teaching Network co-founder Bettina Love.
“Lastly, teachers must embrace theories such as critical race theory, settler colonialism, Black feminism, dis/ability, critical race studies, and other critical theories, that have the ability to interrogate anti-Blackness …” Love wrote in “We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom.”
The book was sixth on the Virginia department’s list and was also promoted in a March 2020 newsletter. While the inclusion isn’t evidence that critical race theory is being taught in the state’s schools, Love’s book provides guidance for educators, stating that teachers need to question whiteness and do away with phrases like “work hard” and “be nice.”
