Virginia’s Glenn Youngkin Bans CRT in Schools, Ends Statewide Mask Mandate in Day 1 Executive Orders

I have exactly the same as Governor TFG has when discussing CRT.... if you want to call that nothing, I'm 100% fine with that, because nothing is the baseline here...

CRT is not taught in Va schools, nor was it scheduled to be.... Banning it is as useless as a screen door on a submarine.

 

You're right, all those accounts of it being taught are just people lying. Or are you one of those people who thinks that because it's not written in the curriculum that there's just no way it could possibly be taught in the classroom (because schools always stick to the curriculum).

Don't worry, I'm sure you're right and all the parents who are witnessing it are the liars.

 

Well, it certainly is a BS……

 

No.

Lefty revisionism belongs in stalingrad.

 

Thank you, sir.

 

"Working with the Rubes" -- Here we have yet another example of how liberals, who claim to be against racial and ethnic stereotypes, constantly use racial and ethnic stereotypes.

 

I see you read what you want, but leave our the other side of the discussion.

From the article you use to show CRT:

But you do you boo

 

Lololol.

Of course the school is going to say it isn't CRT. They HAVE to say that. That doesn't change what's actually going on.

Them denying it means, quite literally, nothing. But hey, I fully expect you to believe anybody who says anything you agree with regardless of evidence suggesting otherwise.

 

????? CRT is a HOT BUTTON issue, ginned up and promoted by the left wing academia in the teaching universities and their graduates now in the public school system.


"Marcuse champions non-integrated forces of minorities, outsiders, and radical intelligentsia, attempting to nourish oppositional thought and behavior through promoting radical thinking and opposition. ....."

"The intelligentsia is a status class of educated people engaged in the complex mental labours that critique, guide, and lead in shaping the culture and politics of their society."

"Modern industrial societies have furthermore created an "affluent society", which in increasing comfort have disguised the exploitative nature of the system, and have therefore strengthened means of domination and control. Modern "affluent society" therefore limits opportunities for political revolution against capitalism....."

"Max Horkheimer first defined critical theory (German: Kritische Theorie) in his 1937 essay "Traditional and Critical Theory", as a social theory oriented toward critiquing and changing society as a whole, in contrast to traditional theory oriented only toward understanding or explaining it. Wanting to distinguish critical theory as a radical, emancipatory form of Marxist philosophy,"

 

Thanks for all of the evidence. Great post!

 

But them claiming that its being taught is just gospel

Holy crap, they are teaching about black people and their experience as AMERICANS.

 

You're right, the evidence is made up and the kids are all lying about what they're being told. But a school denying something that they HAVE to deny is to be believed. I mean, why have a justice system either if someone saying they didn't do something is always to be believed. To hell with actually needing evidence.

No, this absolutely is not what's being taught.

Your dishonesty proves how weak your position is.

 

Oh please, explain to me what is being taught ?

 

Stop pretending to be ignorant. If you've read the thread you've seen examples. If you pay attention to the lawsuit filed, you've seen what's being taught. If you've heard the parents issues, you know what's being taught.

I've done enough of your homework for you. Especially since you're acting as if nothing has been presented in this very thread that I'm sure you've seen and are now pretending doesn't exist.

 

Again, your base for whats being taught is biased and driving an agenda worse than the original teachings

What you leave out is that CRT is a theory that uses facts as it base. CRT teaches that legalized racism existed, and drove our cultural path. Its a fact that Slavery Existed, its a fact that blacks were not allowed to be land owners in most states following the civil war, its fact that segregation legally existed until the early 70's. So when we teach that history, we have to understand how those laws from the past can actually impacted those groups today.

ex: "40 acres and a mule" - Many freed slaves were given 40 acres of land when they were freed. What CRT teaches is that in the deep south, most of the land they were given was then taken back via laws enacted after they were given the land. Thus limiting their ability to succeed.

Segregation laws also limited opportunities to those same racial groups over many years. What CRT teaches is the long term effects of those policies. This is literally our history, but we shouldn't teach about the experience of the minority, because it it may make the majority look bad ?

So is your contention that these laws of the past played no part in how our society is shaped today ?

 

I can point you to an article about how Youngkin's order has already produced a positive result the impact of which cannot be overestimated. The woke educationists agenda is to dumb down math education. Youngkins order thwarted it.

The Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative (VMPI), an equity-focused educational program that would have eliminated all accelerated math courses before 11th grade, is no longer.

The initiative was removed from the Virginia Department of Education's website after newly inaugurated Gov. Glenn Youngkin on Jan. 15 issued Executive Order 1 to, among other things, "restore excellence in education by ending the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education."

Thanks for posting - that's wonderful news.

We're off to a great start....

 

More of the application of CRT to school policy, as opposed to teaching. Accelerated math courses ended up too white, too asian and too few blacks so it is by definition, systemic racism that needs to be eliminated according to CRT.
And of course CRT was being taught. Fairfax County paid Kendi $20,000 for a 1 hour video chat and their contract included a requirement that the district spend another $24,000 to buy his books for use in their schools.

 

FTR, I COMPLETELY agree with you on the math

Just not on CRT

 

It's nice to see our schools focused on excellence instead of equity again.

 

Glad to hear it. There is a fundamental disagreement on the purpose of education. Conservatives strive for excellence, wokesters strive for equity which is why they eliminate advanced math classes for students at risk of excelling.

 

You will enjoy Youngkins speech, then:


“We have instructed the secretary of education and our state’s superintendent of public schools, to go to work and evaluate raising standards,” Youngkin told the hosts. “We are right now, ranked roughly 50th in the nation when it comes to standards, and I challenged everyone that by the time that we’re done together, over this next four years, to be number one.”

We should not underestimate the pushback against excellence by the wokesters. It will be a difficult battle with no assurance of success.

 

Bravo.

We're not afraid of a fight, I guarantee you that, and if it's a fight they want they will lose control of the Virginia Senate in 2023 the same way they the lost the statewide elections and control of the House of Delegates in 2021.

 

like I said, I am not for the "woke agenda" either, but CRT is not that and is being bastardized for political gain

 

Yeah.. I already commented on that... One good idea doesn't necessarily cancel out one stupid idea, especially since there is zero relationship between the 2 things.......
