Virginia's legislature has passed a bill prohibiting schools from teaching what it considers to be falsehoods about the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including portraying it "as peaceful protest."
The General Assembly approved the measure Thursday, as a first-of-its-kind legislation to combat false statements by supporters of President Trump.
The bill says that school instruction must "Not describe, portray, or present as credible a description or portrayal of the actions precipitating or involved in the events of the January 6, 2021, insurrection as peaceful protest."
Schools may also not "state, suggest, or present as credible a statement or suggestion that there was extensive election fraud that could have changed or actually changed the results of the 2020 presidential election."
Instead, the measure says that school instruction must "Describe the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the United States Capitol as an unprecedented, violent attack on United States democratic institutions, infrastructure, and representatives for the purpose of overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election."
President Trump and his surrogates and supporters have characterized the events of Jan. 6 as patriotic. They've also claimed the prosecutions of U.S. Capitol rioters represented a political "weaponization" of the Justice Department by the Biden administration.
Mr. Trump pardoned more than 1,500 Capitol riot defendants, including hundreds charged with beating and maiming police officers during the assault.

only their Fake version ?
So will the “Free for All” governor veto it?
are they going to apply the same criteria to all the lefts countless riots?
probably not!
Virginia has fallen so far so fast, it is shocking
By process of circumstance, how is curriculum teachable? The legislation proves curriculum to be suspect in general.
What Jan 6 riot?
I doubt it.
Yep.
As long as they can teach that men can be pregnant, they’re okay.
Washington DC demands only their viewpoint be taught, the rest of the state be ignored.

VA is controlled by a lunatic, communist whore. Sadly, the people of VA elected her so my opinion of the people of VA is somewhat similar.
Democrats are very persuasive, facts be damned. Anything that advances the revolution.
If challenged will completely fail in court as a flagrant 1st amendment violation. Literally the definition of government-controlled speech.
When I lived there straight out of college , it was still reasonably conservative, or at least republican. Don’t recognize it now.
Yes and no. The liberal areas with much higher population that overtakes the rural areas is causing this mess.
Say what you want about them, including that they are evil, but democrats know how to use power when they get it. They went pedal to the metal last time they got control of the VA government , and they’re doing it again
The liberal highly populated counties on the coastal region and Richmond/ DC areas are to blame for that.
