Getting all wrapped around the axle because of a juvenile sex offender seems like more of a tantrum than a genuine concern, frankly.
This quote from Ben Shapiro's podcast shows why Virginia parents were upset and perhaps why the Democrats lost the support of suburban mothers. Without the daily wire reporting on these events, Youngkin doesn't even come close to winning this election. Look for more arrests of parents who speak out about what's really happening. Unless they can control the flow of information as well as they did during the Trump years, the Democrats could very well lose their grip on political power as early as 2022.
First, it was in early spring of 2020 when my six-year-old somberly came to me and asked me if she was born evil, because she was a white person, something she learned in a history lesson at school. Then you kept the schools closed for a year and a half. Despite the science educating that it was safe for kids to return. And now you've covered up a rape, then arrested, humiliated, and falsely accused her parents of being domestic terrorists. I wish I could return my kids to LCPs. Private school is expensive, and I want my kids to be able to walk home from school, with their friends and their own community. I refuse to allow you to destroy our schools. They are not your schools. They are our schools. You all should be ashamed and you should have the moral courage to admit you are wrong and [step] down.
Ben: Okay? So in one second, we'll get to more talk about critical race theory in Virginia schools, because yes, it exists. It does. I'm sorry. When you're teaching Romex Kennedy children's books to small children, that is critical race theory. We'll get to more on this in just one second.
So again, the case keeps being made that if you are a parent, you're not supposed to be worried about critical race theory in schools. You're not supposed to worry about what these teachers are, teaching your kids at all. And yet, according to Fox news, Andrew Mark Miller reporting the phrase critical race theory appears on the Virginia department of education website. Despite Terrell McAuliffe's repeated claims. The curriculum is not taught in Virginia on the Virginia department of education website. Several examples of the department promoting critical race theory can be found including a presentation from 2015 when Terry McAuliffe was governor that encourages teachers to embrace critical race theory in order to re-engineer attitudes and belief systems. Additionally, superintendent memo 0 5, 0 19 can be found on the site from February, 2019, promoting both critical race theory and the idea of white fragility also in 2019 under democratic governor, Ralph Northam, superintendent of public instruction, James Lane sends a memo to Virginia public schools, endorsing foundations of critical race theory in education as an important tool that can further spur developments in education.
All of that via Citi journals, Chris Rufo who's done. Excellent. Excellent work on this entire issue. McAuliffe campaigns did not respond to request for comment on the presence of critical race theory in Virginia public schools, neither did the Virginia department of education in June officials in Louden county acknowledged that critical race theory influenced their work in July. It was revealed that a Virginia school district spent 30 grand on critical race theory training for administrators. And yet they continue to maintain the lie that any parent who's worried about. This is simply crazy that any parent who is upset about the possibility of their children being taught the racial essentialism represented by critical race theory is crazy. Now again, this isn't, there, there is an inherent component of critical race theory that teaches that there is guilt that attaches you by dent of your race.
You premises of critical race theory include that racism is not aberrational is part of the system. It is embedded in every system also that it serves white interests for racism to be embedded in every system. Also that race is a social construct, but simultaneously that your racial status in the states gives you expertise to speak on issues that other people cannot speak on, which is a form of racial essentialism, right? All of those promises by the way, are specified by Richard Delgado and <inaudible> who actually wrote the critical theory, critical race theory, introduction in primer. And yet again, the case is made by Democrats that we're all supposed to ignore this. And if you don't ignore this, you're a racist. It's just not going to play. It's not going to. In fact, I recommend strongly that every Democrat continue to run on the basis that everyone worried about this is crazy and or racist.
One Williams has a piece over at the hill, literally titled parent's rights is code for white race policies. Okay? So parent's rights is code for white race. Politics is the name of the piece. Really? So if I want rights over how my children are educated and raised that's code for I'm a racist. Now I thought that was code for, I want to raise my own children. And I don't think that you should be teaching values that contradict my own because they're my kids, not your kids. And I'm delegating teaching to you with the proviso that you not indoctrinate them in a bunch of racially ignorant nonsense, but here's what one Williams writes.
He says now Republican Virginia Republicans are back with a new and improved cultural wars campaign for 2021. The closing argument is once again, full of racial division. This time it is dressed up as a defense of little children. The rallying cry is parents' rights. It's a campaign to stop classroom discussion of black lives matter, protesters slavery, because it could upset some children, especially white children who might feel guilt. Okay? Literally, no one is saying that you can't teach your children about slavery. All we are saying is that you cannot say that every discrepancy in American life is brought about because the systems of the United States are inherently evil. That we're saying you can't teach because it's false. But of course you can teach kids events, honest to God. I wonder whether these people have ever been inside a classroom. Of course, kids are being taught about slavery. Is there a child in America who doesn't know about the evils of slavery?
The DA is probably just a wanker who can't make hard decisions, and that is a real process issue I would consider looking at. But this drama over juvenile delinquents and turning it into a national crisis or mandate is a bit out of hand, or a lot out of hand.
The DA is an unhinged liberal who wants to end incarceration for everyone except her political opponents.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.
