Time will tell. So far, he’s totally pissed off the Left, so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt...for now.
Now you’ve done it - the RINO trolls are gonna be pissed.
Ban “critical race theory” and it will be back with a new name.
Ban anti-white race hatred of any kind.
How would you write an executive order that would ban it?
That is the problem. If we call it CRT the lefties just say they aren’t teaching CRT and give it another name.
"The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin."
The essential feature of CRT is that it rejects the idea of "colorblindness". I think it is strategically brilliant for Youngkin to highlight that CRT and the Civil Rights Act are in direct conflict.
For proof of my description of CRT read Kimberly Crenshaw's "Twenty Years of Critical Race Theory: Looking Back To Move Forward".

Here are some of her citations and her descriptions of those citations. See which of these points of view is consistent with colorblind application of the law under the Civil Rights ACt:
Ian F. Haney Lopez, Is the "Post" in Post-Racial the "Blind" in Colorblind?, 32 CARDOZO L. REv. 807 (2011) (examining the rhetorical appeal of "colorblindness" to liberals and the shift from a progressive demand for colorblindness to a reactionary one).
Stephanie Condon, Are Liberals Too Concerned With Being "Colorblind"?, CBS NEWS, July 22, 2010 (noting that liberals' concern with colorblindness has resulted in them "ceding the debate to the right").
Christopher Edley, Jr., The Boycott at Harvard: Should Teaching Be Colorblind?, WASH. POST, Aug. 18, 1982, at A23 ("Race remains a useful proxy for a whole collection of experiences, aspirations and sensitivities" and thus "for some subjects, the courses will probably be different, and certainly be perceived as being different, when taught by a white rather than a black.")
Morris Freedman, Black Students and Black Teachers at Harvard Law, WALL ST. J. (Midwest Ed.), Aug. 31, 1982, at 22 (arguing that "it might precisely be argued that only certain persons can properly teach certain subjects at certain times and places" and concluding that "[a]s all of us may allow ourselves to be taught about the nature of minority or obscured cultures from the inside of these cultures . . . I think we must yield to the Harvard black students their point to be taught certain things, at least at this time, by someone who has lived his way into that knowledge.").
"All together, these themes established the parameters of the conflict between liberal notions of discrimination, framed around bias and colorblindness, and an emerging sensibility that comprehended such problems in terms of institutionalized racial power."
Here she mocks the "reactionary" view of quotas at Harvard: Colorblind merit was thus presumptively race neutral, and it was the students' demand for a specific share of the teaching positions at Harvard that was framed as discriminatory.
Specifically, the Dean's decision and the narrowed parameters in which the ensuing controversy was framed helped to sharpen awareness of how conceptions such as colorblind merit operated to obscure the continuing patterns of racial power in presumptively race neutral institutions.
In total there are 98 instances of the words "colorblind" or "colorblindness" in Crenshaw's history of Critical Race Theory and every one of the 98 instances it is a negative reference.
I've got reservations of Youngkin too. Being a member of the Carlyle Group isn't impressive to me. But he's still 1000x better than McAwful.
This is the same clown blog that was lying about Youngkin earlier. It’s the same kind of stuff that appeals to the meth heads in the trailer parks who don’t understand why their version of “conservative” can’t ever win at the polls.

Sod Off. The people that wrote this crap wanted Warner and said nil about blackface G instead of Youngkin. He is off to a good start in my book.
Thank you Gov.
Good first day. Let’s roll.
I am against banning ideas. The way to combat bad ideas is with better ideas.

Cut off Funding for instruction. Have you seen the contracts for the Race Hustlers? That’s the key
Executive Order Number One delivers on his Day One promise to restore excellence in education by ending the use of divisive concepts, including Critical Race Theory, in public education.
The problem is viewing any history through the lens of critical theory. Communists use it to teach oppressor vs oppressed revolution. That is the fundamental problem

GEEZ US, they couldn’t even wait until the SECOND DAY to find fault with him.
When they teach that if you’re white, you’re bad, it’s a problem.
What we really need is Critical Socialist Theory, teaching how socialists screw things up.
You don't have to teach a class called "Marxism" to sneak Marxist principles into your teaching. And proclaiming that you have banned "Critical Race Theory" is equally meaningless.
Constant and eternal supervision of teachers is the only to way to keep it under control. Beware of worthless legislation that cannot accomplish what it claims.
