Teachers in Virginia's largest school district have developed a new "anti-racist" and "culturally responsible" curriculum that will be available to students as early as this fall.
Social studies teachers from Fairfax County collaborated with other Virginia public school teachers to revamp their history curriculum, using a framework from Teaching Tolerance, the educational arm of the liberal nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center. The new curriculum encourages students to "examine materials, events, and institutions critically attending to power, position, and bias" and will be available for use in 3rd, 4th, 6th, 7th, and 11th-grade classrooms.
Colleen Eddy, Fairfax County Public Schools social studies coordinator, said the new curriculum addresses the "overrepresentation of white and Eurocentric history" and the lack of "diverse perspectives" in education. Eddy singled out the district's U.S. history courses in particular, for which she says African-American history "deserves a truer and fuller account."
Teaching Tolerance’s list of "Essential Knowledge" for third through fifth grade students includes teaching that "the United States was founded on protecting the interests of white, Christian men who owned property." It also says slavery was foundational to the growth of the U.S. economy and the country’s founding documents were created to protect the institution of slavery.
Southern Poverty Law Center, known for including conservative organizations on its list of "hate groups," created Teaching Tolerance to promote "anti-bias" and "social justice" education in classrooms.
Virginia’s social studies curriculum is due to be revised in 2022 and is currently being reviewed by Gov. Ralph Northam’s (D.) commission on African American History Education.
There. Fixed it for you.
It does to the “anti-racism” crowd. They’re going to label you a “white nationalist”, “racist”, “hate group”, etc, and the right wing will gladly “cancel” you right along with the left. You’ll be a pariah, whether you actually are a “white nationalist” or not.
Then the only people who will want to associate with you are the actual white nationalists.
The Southern Poverty Law Center is an Anti-White organization.
No there won’t.
If you don’t go along ..you are obviously a racist.
Southern Poverty Law Center? Why don’t they just invite the Chinese Communist Party to come in and develop the American history curriculum for the district. I am sure they will be as equally unbiased as the sleazy SPLC.
Being pro-White doesn’t in any way necessitate being negative about any other ethnic group.
It just means that Whites can, completely constructively and peacefully, celebrate their own identity, heritage, history, art, culture, music, and of course beauty:
I am sure the SPLC is Communist China approved. Heck they probably wrote it.
I am so glad I no longer teach in the Fairfax County Public Schools. It was nothing but propaganda and revisionist America bashing curriculum years ago. I can’t imagine what it is like today. They made my son (and all white boys) apologize for being white and male and currently are forcing students to write papers decrying their white privilege.
I can’t wait for my dh to retire SO WE CAN LEAVE THIS RACIST PANDERING STATE!
They are just indoctrination centers, or reeducation camps. But, Plato was right: The State has no place in education.
People of Texas, please pay attention to how fast Virginia was conquered and radically changed. You can’t wait until it’s too late to stop, or your home will already be gone to the leftists.
And people are anxious to get schools going again?
The SPL is a ultra-leftwing racist hate group
Understood, but the point is the left is creating what they claim to oppose.
Socialism/Communism is hypocrisy
With fewer jobs and less pay for white men, there will be even less support for conservative politicians and political efforts. That’s already gone too far over the past 40 years, and very few people have wanted to acknowledge what was happening all around them. It might be too late now.
Great, Virginia is finally getting its first BLM/Communist approved public education curriculum.
.................................................
No parent with an IQ above that of an idiot would acquiesce to this frontal assault on their children and their country. Of course this is in Virginia, so it’s really not surprising!
BLM is creating white nationalists.

Interesting point. How would you define “white nationalist”? I ask because I’ve always considered myself to be one!
Jeez...Virginia’s going down the toilet faster than an Obama turd. Unbelievable!
....................................................
Now that there is hilarious, but I’ve always thought Obama and turd were synonyms!?
