Document reveals McAuliffe admin pushed Va. schools to 'embrace' critical race theory
WASHINGTON (TND) — A leaked
document (<- linked here) appears to show the Virginia Department of Education encouraged public schools to "embrace"
critical race theory (CRT) while Democrat Terry McAuliffe was governor.
McAuliffe, who is running for Virginia governor again this year, recently
claimed critical race theory has "never been taught in Virginia," and criticized those concerned about critical race theory for promoting a divisive "dog-whistle."
The leaked document is a 2015 training program issued by the Virginia Department of Education.
As part of the program's “Culturally-Responsive Teaching and Learning Principles," public schools were encouraged to "embrace critical race theory," and "engage in race-conscious teaching and learning," according to the leaked presentation
first reported by investigative journalist Christopher Rufo.
In addition, Va. Superintendent of Public Instruction James F. Lane sent a
memo to all school districts in 2019 encouraging school leaders to read a book that calls critical race theory "an important analytic tool" for addressing "power and privilege."
