How the radical DEI ideology is imposed on students in a Virginia school district

This time it is not notorious far left Fairfax County. It is Albemarle County in the Charlottesville metropolitan area, and it is even worse than Fairfax in imposition of the far left, Marxist and racist, DEI ideology upon students. A recent article in The Federalist tells the story.

Albemarle County pushes students to make a "personal commitment" to the DEI ideology as a "core competency". It reviews teachers lesson plans to insure they are pushing "anti-racism" which is an Orwellian term for promoting racism against white people. It has an "equity" grading system which guarantees at least 50% credit for an incomplete assignment. Its curriculum is steeped in DEI and "anti-rascism"

Of the eight objectives in school board policy to instill in students, two are overtly political; "anti-racism" and "social justice and inclusion". A school board member publicly compared a meeting to Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA to a Ku Klux Klan rally, and another school board member jumped to her defense on that accusation.

Albemarle County is the location of Thomas Jefferson's Montecello, so it is particularly obscene to see this far left political indoctrination of students going on there. Jefferson was a champion of freedom of speech. The student population subjected to this racist DEI agenda is majority white.

The US State department has designated DEI as a violation of human rights.

Meanwhile, in Indiana, a school counsellor who had been fired for publicly objecting to a school board policy to socially transition children without telling their parents, has received a settlement of $200,000. The case led the state legislature to require parental notification.

We in Beaufort County can be thankful that while we have had four solid conservatives on our school board, its policies have been amended to prohibit DEI, CRT, and radical gender theory from our curriculum. One wonders how long that will last now that a cabal of activist teachers have managed to replace two of those conservatives with two members of the NCAE teachers union.

Teachers tend to be more Democrat than Republican and more liberal than conservative. Putting retired teachers on school boards is like hiring a fox to guard the hen house. Most of them have an attitude that teachers know better than parents on most issues and that leads to parents concerns being ignored. Our school board is headed down the wrong path with the way two of our GOP primaries came out. One of those retired teachers nominated is actually a longtime Democrat who only recently switched to "Republican" on paper.

This Virginia county is a sad example of the stranglehold the lefty education mafia is trying to get, and in too many places has already gotten into our schools. They try to turn education into indoctrination. I fear for our own schools after the results of the recent primary. Two members of the lefty NCAE teachers union added to the liberals already on our school board, headed by lefty ringleader Carolyn Walker.

Thanks to Roy Cooper and now Josh Stein, our state school board has been controlled by leftwing ideologues. There is nothing we can do about that until we get a decent governor to make better appointments.

Idaho is latest state to cut off public funding mechanism for teachers unions
