VEA instructs teachers to evade Youngkin’s directive
The VEA provides teachers with a BLM Toolkit for implementing CRT in schools in defiance of Youngkin’s restrictions on divisive teaching.
Just as bad, BLM has abandoned its role as a check on police excesses when dealing with Black suspects, in favor of becoming a Trojan Horse for every Marxist and Gender or Woke cause.
It is time for Virginia to follow other states and let the money follow the child for school choice. Let the marketplace decide if we want children educated or indoctrinated. If that defunds the VEA dominated public schools. so be it.
Tidewater News and Opinion Forum 
Your hair-on-fire take on the VEA ignoring the Governor’s “directive” on hiding “divisive” materials and your various slanders are too emotional to respond to. Why bother? So, I will not waste the effort other than pointing out that teachers do not work for the governor nor do his “directives” carry the force of law. Attempts to add the force of law to this nonsense were defeated in the Legislature.
On the real issue, I want the Constitution to be followed. I believe in the complete separation of Church and State as did the Founding Fathers. I do not want my tax dollars to flow directly or indirectly to support “Christian” education which is the stated intention of these attacks on public education which you champion.
Freedom of religion allows parents to deliberately raise ignorant children by sending them to schools that indoctrinate them in laughable nonsense, but it does not require that they use public money to do so.

RE: “The VEA provides teachers with a BLM Toolkit for implementing CRT in schools in defiance of Youngkin’s restrictions on divisive teaching.”
It is worse than that. The Toolkit is blatently a device for indoctrinating and recruiting children into the BLM political movement. One of the Toolkit’s high school lesson plans in fact is titled, “Introduction to the Principles of the Black Lives Matter Movement”:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LbnXynTSqC0tvtfszYnpKjK9Zvrr1eEk9lAGRrRy8os/edit
Whatever your opinion of BLM might be, political indoctrination does not belong in public schools. I also think the 13 Principles of the Black Lives Matter Movement, which you can find at the link, is inappropriate material for a K-12 curriculum.

Not at all. The question is, What is the purpose of teaching history in K-12?
I’d say the main purpose is to provide source material for practicing reading and writing. A formal history course might also impart a sense of the chronology and timespans of major events. I do not believe that children can benefit from the use of history to teach social justice. Hence, a Eurocentric history is more than adequate for K-12 in the schools of countries that the European expansion created.

“I have zero tolerance for child rape,”…
Then you are in support of putting Lorena Boebert’s son through a woodchipper.

If he were 40, maybe. But you’re talking about teenagers.

“If he were 40, maybe. But you’re talking about teenagers.”
How about 35? 22? 18? At what age does raping children become intolerable and deserving of your woodchippers?

The age of consent, and the age differences that amount to statutory rape vary from state to state.
In Virginia, it is unlawful for anyone over 18 to have sex with someone 13 to 17 years old, and for anyone to have sex with someone under 13. If both parties are under 18, there is the “Romeo and Julliet” exception if the age difference is under 3 years.
So, in Virgina, it is not rape for a 17 year old to have sex with a 15 year old.
I’d reserve the woodchippers for a 10 year age difference for teenage victims and anyone having sex with a pre-teen as a rule of thumb.

“I have zero tolerance for child rape, I guess the left is a bit more tolerant than I am on that issue.”
Doubling down on your sick fantasies I see.
Civilized countries do not have capital punishment for any crime much less the cruel executions of your fevered puerile imagination. You would like it in Saudi Arabia. They deal with people they don’t like in the ways that you would wish.
As for the left’s tolerance, I think you will find that it has repeatedly been “the left” that has hounded the actual child molesters and rapists into the open as their “conservative” institutions tried to protect them from accountability.
As for your zero tolerance approach you had no trouble supporting a degenerate who openly fantasized about future sex with a child and bragged to Howard Stern about prowling through teenaged girls dressing rooms. So, as usual, you are kidding only yourself.
