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

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

Especially if its state sanctioned.

It's no different than calling in a tip to a crime stoppers hotline. You're reporting criminal activity, not ratting out neighbors to the Gestapo or Stasi.

thanks, but my question was ‘how are they routing it out’? By firing the teachers? Fining them till they quit teaching the nonsense crt? or what? A list is ok, but hopefully there will be results as well-

You’re welcome.

I agree. But this is a good step forward and what’s to be done is yet to be determined. At least the teachers are on notice.

[Bob434]

Yup- it’s great that the teachers have been put on notice- about time they were reigned in some-

Point is, the Left uses the coercive power of “der staat” as a weapon at every opportunity.

It’s time for our side to correct the damage they’ve inflicted on us whenever we can… and with whatever means are available when we can.

If not, we better get used to the fact that we’ll lose the country to these psychopaths, because we’re damn near that point now.

This isn’t Marquess of Queensbury rules - this is a war for the future; the Left understands that, and they have been proceeding accordingly.

Letting them own the battlefield only means we lose…and that is not an option.

There’s hope - DeSantis is doing the same in Florida - protecting us from democrat/commie thugs.

Protecting our children - protecting our freedom.
