Virginia Governor Youngkin Opens Tip Line for Parents to Report Teachers who Teach Critical Race Theory
American Greatness ^ | 26 Jan, 2022 | Eric Lendrum

On Monday, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin (R-Va.) announced that his office would be opening up an anonymous tip line for Virginia parents to report teachers and schools that they believed to be teaching curriculum that includes Critical Race Theory (CRT).

As reported by The Daily Caller, Youngkin made the announcement during an interview on the John Fredericks Show, with Youngkin saying that parents “can send us an email at helpeducation@governor.virginia.gov.”

“We’re asking for folks to send us reports and observations that will help us be aware of things like privileged bingo, be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia and we’re going to make sure that we catalogue it all,” Youngkin continued. “It gives us great insight into what’s happening at the school level and that gives us further ability to make sure that we’re rooting it out.”

Youngkin was referring to a recent incident where Fairfax County Public Schools assigned students to play a game called “privilege bingo,” where students were told that they had inherent “privilege” if they were White, male, Christian, cisgender, or the child of a member of the military, among other factors.

Since his inauguration on January 15th, Youngkin has taken numerous actions to eliminate CRT from Virginia’s schools, which was one of his signature promises on the campaign trail last year. His first executive order after taking office called for the end of “the use of inherently divisive concepts – including Critical Race Theory – in public education.”

On January 19th, Youngkin nominated Angela Sailor, a former vice president at the Heritage Foundation who has been outspoken in her opposition to CRT, to serve as Virginia’s Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Upon taking office, her first action was to eliminate the word “equity” from the title

Where did all the FReepers go that claimed this guy was going to be another establishment RINO?

Seems to me like he’s doing a pretty damn good job!

It’s about freaking time someone fight back

Good for Youngkin.

Teachers and Teacher’s unions are organized... parent’s stand alone.

Well, not anymore. Youngkin’s standing with them and he’s letting them know how to have their voices heard.

The FR Surrender Monkey Caucus is hiding for now because their lies about Youngkin have been exposed but they will be back to lie about Cruz DeSantis and Trump. Being leftists at heart they are never happy.

Her second action should be to fire everyone. Her third action should be to shutter the office and put the property on the market.

Meryl Streep? Her picture should be in the dictionary next to the definition of "repulsive".

So far so good. Could he be another Trump in being far more conservative than thought by many?

Another “snitch” line isn’t the best solution...
We’ve already had too much “snitching” going on at the behest of our communist rulers...

Just issue “get out of jail free” cards to parents and have them confront the communist indoctrinators in person and punch out their lights...

The left is already all over this snitch line.

I'll bet reports of white privilege will outnumber reports of CRT being taught by 100 to 1.

I don’t think it’s going to bother Youngkin. More stupidity from the left.

As much as I am anti CRT, the encouragement to turn in your teachers is a bad precedent.

Especially if its state sanctioned.
