Explosive Documents Prove McAuliffe’s Administration Pushed CRT In Virginia Schools
The Federalist ^ | October 14, 2021 | Shawn Fleetwood

Posted on 10/14/2021 2:01:35 PM PDT by T Ruth

Newly unearthed documents reveal that during his tenure as the governor of Virginia, Terry McAuliffe’s Education Department was pushing public schools to teach critical race theory (CRT).

According to a 2015 training program issued by the Virginia Department of Education, state public schools were encouraged to “embrace critical race theory” and “engage in race-conscious teaching and learning” as part of the program’s “Culturally-Responsive Teaching and Learning Principles.” The slideshow also urged schools to adopt a “critical race theory (CRT) lens” when surveying “culturally-responsive alternatives” to school suspension.

Moreover, Virginia’s Education Department has continued to promote critical race theory under the state’s current Democrat governor, Ralph Northam. In 2019, State Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane sent out a memo to school division superintendents that describes CRT as an “important analytic tool in the field of education” that offers “critical perspectives on race” and “the dynamics of power and privilege in schooling.”

Furthermore, the Virginia Department of Education is currently using critical race theory to define terms such as “white supremacy” as part of its statewide “Anti-racism in Education” initiative.

The bombshell revelations run counter to previous claims by McAuliffe, who has repeatedly argued that critical race theory is not taught in Virginia classrooms and has dismissed the Marxist ideology as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”

“It’s not taught in Virginia, it’s never been taught in Virginia,” the Democrat gubernatorial candidate claimed in a recent interview. ***

Years from now people will wonder:

<><>how society was enslaved by a minority,

<><> how a privileged people would surrender and give up their own mother at the first sign of an attack,

<><> how leftwing con man George Soros could use his billions to undermine American institutions and beliefs,

<><>How a 13 percent Afro-American minority got a 50 percent share in Hollywood movies and TV commercials,

<><>How a tiny Hollywood minority was permitted to depict Christianity as a malevolent, predatory force,

<><> why we allowed the predominant viewpoint on college campuses that everything is the fault of white men.

MERRICK GARLAND Threat Against Parent’s 1st Amendment Right Backfires
Dad Serves Stunned School Board With $200 Million Lawsuit In Middle of Meeting [VIDEO]
GATEWAY PUNDIT ^ | 10/14/2021 | Patty McMurray

We are in serious trouble in the United States of America. We have a mostly incoherent “president” that over half of America doesn’t believe was elected fairly. Joe Biden is likely taking orders from unelected people working behind the scenes with an agenda that is so evil that, if exposed by our dishonest media, would shock our nation to its core.

100 Percent Fed Up reports – On October 4, Barack Obama’s failed Supreme Court nominee turned Joe Biden’s Barack Obama’s Attorney General Merrick Garland sent a threatening note to warn parents of his plan to plant federal law enforcement agencies in communities around America. The letter was likely meant to chill dissent against school boards or school administrators over mask mandates and the teaching of CRT. The letter was prompted by the National School Board Association (NSBA), who called on the Biden administration to take action against unruly parents who keep showing up at school board meetings; the Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland has taken up the cause against parents. The NSBA encouraged the Biden administration to classify the actions of concerned parents as “the equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism and hate crimes.”

A lot has happened since our US Attorney General Merrick Garland’s threat against the First Amendment Right of parents to speak freely against the racist Critical Race Theory (CRT) being pushed on students in grades K-12 or against forcing our children to wear masks to school?

Shortly after Merrick’s threat against parents speaking out, it was discovered that Merrick Garland’s daughter is married to the co-founder of a company that provides schools with materials to teach CRT.

No integrity + insufferable self-righteousness + an insatiable lust to control others= they’ll say anything any time to advance their agenda, and their dormant consciences won’t bother them a bit

That he was pushing CRT in his previous admin runs counter to claims by McAuliffe that critical race theory is not taught in Virginia classrooms.

McA dismissed CRT’s Marxist ideology as a “right-wing conspiracy theory.”

“It’s not taught in Virginia, it’s never been taught in Virginia,” the Democrat gubernatorial candidate claimed in a recent interview.

CRT is a leftist bludgeon, wielded at will, by simply reverse engineering the accepted language into ominous threats.

With no warning, whenever it fits their purpose, leftists create an imaginary “crime” out of thin air ...... “on demand.”

Perhaps it is unlikely. But it may get to the squishy middle.
