Meet The New Ministry Of Truth Version Of History That Will Be Taught In Virginia Schools

[skews13]

According to state law, Virginia’s learning standards are supposed to be reviewed by the state Board of Education at least once every seven years. During 2022, a team including teachers, parents, students, museums, historians, professors, political scientists, economists, and geographers met for months and developed a 402-page draft version for history and social studies. Before it could even be reviewed, the state’s Board of Education, dominated by appointees of Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin, rejected the draft. Last week they replaced it with their own 52-page statement of “Guiding Principles” without the curriculum frameworks, list of instructional resources, and student activities in the original draft. The new rightwing sanitized standards, quickly developed with input from conservative Christian Hillsdale College and the equally conservative Thomas B. Fordham Institute, will now undergo a months-long public review process.

Historian: Virginia's 'Guiding Principles' are a right-wing fantasy of history

The Washington Post conducted an independent review of changes to Virginia’s history and social studies education proposed in the Youngkin standards and concluded that rightwing bias pervades the entire proposed “Guiding Principles.” What follows draws from the Washington Post analysis.

Ha! It must be a very good thing if WaPo hates it!

What is in the 52-page bill? Or are you just upset that appointees of an amoral Democrat Governor do not dominate the Virginia Board of Education?

When are they going to get a clue?

Maybe when they either phone a friend or ask the audience?
