Virginia police are investigating an 'anti-racist' Facebook group that named the parents of students who members say are 'against critical race theory'.
The Anti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County group - which reportedly includes teachers and school board members - shared personal details of those they say had opposed moves to teach the controversial curriculum.
It urged followers to 'gather information' on them and encouraged online hackers to silence critics of the theory, The Daily Wire reports. Parent Cherly Onderchain told Fox News she was on the 'hit list', adding: 'Their goal is silence.'
According to Purdue University, critical race theory scholarship shows how racism continues to be persuasive and why it denies individuals their constitutional rights. It examines the way race and racism influences politics, culture and the law.
But critics say it leaves people exposed to the training feeling that they are being blamed for problems which they did not cause - such as slavery and Jim Crow - and that it is itself racially divisive.
Local teacher Jeremy Wright said: 'Minority students are going to suffer the most from this. When you teach students that the system is against them, they have no motivation to learn.'
One parent on the list, Patti Menders, said: 'I was personally attacked. My name, my first name, my last name, where my son goes to school, who my husband is, where I live and three pictures of me were all on that Facebook page.
'They wanted to send postcards to our neighbors calling us racist and come to our home with a megaphone and call us racists.'
Another parent, Erin Dunbar, added: 'Those of you who saw personal information about families in this county being posted and did nothing, shame on you.'

Dangerous Marxists.
It’s amazing how easily Democrats are being assimilated into Fascism. They will start planting Star of David placards on the front lawns of non-Democrats. Then at night their homes will be vandalized and robbed.
Unfortunately no-longer a B-movie staple, now all too real in America.
How fascist of those teachers.

I'm not racist, but if you wanted to start creating racists, that's one sure way to do it - on both/all sides.
Anti-racism looks suspiciously like racism.
This is unconscionable. They - school board members, teachers - should all be fired.
Those spouting critical race theory ARE the bigots, they ARE the Cultural Marxist scum of the earth.
Vogon poetry is too good for them.
Sue them in a private civil suit and seek punitive damages.

And here I thought cops were spending their time chasing rapists,robbers and murderers.
Teachers are this century’s Brown Shirts
The funny part of this is that when the cancel culture comes crashing down (and its already started) the media will blame the right for doing it.
Good that their local police are looking into this.
Don’t bother calling the FBI about it.
They will either drag the case out until long after the schoolkids have graduated, or find various ‘surprise’ offenses in the parent’s private lives.
Christopher Wray and James Comey have taught me to expect nothing less, nothing more from that agency.
The names of the teachers are much easier to obtain. And, the citizens know where they work.
“Local teacher Jeremy Wright said: ‘Minority students are going to suffer the most from this. When you teach students that the system is against them, they have no motivation to learn.’”
Well, here’s an idea. Why don’t you actually start teaching? Things like the actual history of this country, and the opportunities everyone has if they stop being snowflakes and reverse racists.
