McAuliffe in 2019: 'Diversity, inclusion' are 'as important as' math and English in schools
By Tyler O'Neil ^ | Oct 26 | Fox News

Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe's remarks about "diversity" and "inclusion" in schools, which he made in 2019, have resurfaced in the pivotal lead-up to Election Day on Nov. 2.

Education has emerged as a key issue in the race, with parents raising concerns about critical race theory, COVID-19 restrictions and transgender issues at tense school board meetings in Northern Virginia.

"We don't do a good job in our education system talking about diversity, inclusion, openness and so forth," McAuliffe said on C-SPAN Book TV while promoting his book "Beyond Charlottesville: Taking a Stand Against White Nationalism" in 2019. "We don't. We got our textbooks, but, you know, that has to be a big part of how do you fit into the social work of our nation and our fabric. How we deal with one another is to me as important as, you know, your math class or your English class and so forth."

Parents in Loudoun County and Fairfax County have condemned some programs launched in the name of "diversity" and "inclusion," saying that the programs promote critical race theory, a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of society to discover "systemic racism" beneath the surface. Some parents have called CRT divisive, claiming it encourages White students to view themselves as oppressors. Youngkin has pledged to ban CRT in education if he wins the race.

If it is so important; why don’t they open charter schools for diversity and inclusion as a counter to STEM?

So the kids need to learn not about reading, math, and science, but rather how oppressive whitey is towards all the poor hapless POC who, according to the left, can not manage to survive without their help.

That’s the only way certain demographics can “compete” with other demographics.

No wonder the Chinese are sabre rattling. They know the U.S. is weaking and dumbing down its population.

Anyone who votes for McaAuliffe (shudder) deserves what they get.

That’s right. Major universities are requiring 4-5 hours of Freshman indoctrination classes that put students in small groups for the year. These groups have mentors who will guide the students through the tough year of adjustment and inclusion.

In other words, brainwash.

OVER $27 TRILLION has been spent on welfare since LBJ started those programs.

All we got for our money is a ARMY of FERAL BARBARIANS WHO HATE US.

Looks like McAuliffe stepped in it again. He sure has odd ideas about what’s important in school, & more to the point , what is NOT important in school. Sure glad that idiot was nowhere around during my school days. I hope he is defeated so soundly that he won’t even show his face again. Men like this belong in jail, not in politics.

I believe that was plantation thinking in the slave states before the civil war for unpaid laborers.
