Critical Race Theory is Taking Over Virginia Beach Schools
Bacon's Rebellion ^ | March 9, 2021 | Victoria Manning

Posted on 04/12/2021 10:57:27 AM PDT by beejaa

A Virginia Beach High School government teacher and finalist for teacher of the year recently posted on social media that “capitalism is racist.” An assistant principal in a different Virginia Beach high school advocated teaching critical race theory, sharing an article about the 1619 project. A Virginia Beach high school history teacher at a different school commented that he teaches critical race theory every year. A downtown instructional specialist in the social studies department promoted on Twitter that we should re-write all social studies curricula to be “social justice oriented,” referencing the left-wing Southern Poverty Law Center’s document on the topic. He also stated that all schools should celebrate Black Lives Matter Week (not Black History Month).

Are these views common and accepted practices in Virginia Beach Schools?

It's amazing how we've turned away from the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King. Note that the end of the article gives a link to a noleftturn ipetition to stop the teaching of critical race theory and social justice in Virginia Beach schools.

If capitalism is racist and socialism is anti-racist then everything and everyone should be “racist”.

Are we to assume parents have no influence on their kids?

Schools have hammered away at the kids on drug use, etc., and how’s that worked out?

The biggest influence on the kids today might be their internet buddies.

How long are we going to allow this doctrine of demons to be taught — and forced— on our children in the schools?

This is not even indoctrination — it is deliberately structured rape of young minds.

“How long are we going to allow this doctrine of demons to be taught “

We can only have faith in Joe and Josephine Citizen. That is, we voters. It’s a little scary.

Nothing will change unless parents are willing to take their kids out of these schools.

There’s a web comic called The Life of the Party on DeviatArt that’s pretty cool. It’s following some Dungeons and Dragons characters around.

Anyway, this one elven (girl) adventurer has a cell phone and the other day almost the whole party froze while trying to cross a mountain pass.

She was drawn as texting even as she froze.

Not sure how they unfroze, but they did.

Thank you for that link.

Last school board meeting in Wisconsin small town had a special presentation from someone who called himself an "anarchist" when responding to a critical question. "I don't want to take sides in a political dispute. I'm an anarchist"

From the link:
Fishbein, a doctor of social work, said in a telephone interview with The College Fix that her journey as leader of this movement began after she wrote to the superintendent of her school district, its principal, and the school board, voicing concerns about the elementary school’s new “cultural proficiency” curriculum.

“When they announced the change of the lesson plan a couple of days before the end of the school year, I opted my kids out of those lessons because they seemed to my husband and myself as ‘racist,’ and we did not understand what they wanted to achieve in it, and we felt they were really pandering to some political agenda and virtue signaling,” she said.

After weeks of not hearing back, Fishbein said she made her letter public by posting it to the group Facebook page of the school’s parents as a way to encourage discussion, but instead was “butchered online” by about 15 parents.

Before her post was taken down, parents she described as “woke” publicly denounced her and her letter as “racist.”

“But I read it and re-read it and cannot find one syllable that is indicative of any racism—of any sort,” Dr. Fishbein said. “That’s problematic when somebody hijacks the language, when somebody attributes different meanings to words that we all supposedly at one point agreed on.”

Still, Fishbein said she had received tons of support from parents privately.

“But all of them also indicated they were afraid to speak up,” she said. “They were afraid of the consequences. So, that’s when I realized that we’ve reached a very dangerous point in the United States, where we have the First Amendment, but people are so afraid to speak up, to pose their opinion, to pose their objection and, in this case, support their kids, because this is standing to protect your children. And, parents were so terrified of doing that. That’s when I actually decided to launch the movement.”

No Left Turn’s stated goals include to “mobilize parents all over the country, in every school and locality to organize and become actively involved in overseeing the education of their children.”
