City Journal’s Christopher Rufo, tweeted today that he will “debunk that lie.” He then shared a series of screenshots from the state’s DOE website. Where CRT is described as the “best practice” for schools.
Teaching a modified CRT curriculum in Virginia schools started in 2019, under the Northam administration. At that time Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane sent a memo to Virginia public schools endorsing “Foundations of Critical Race Theory in Education,” calling it an “important analytic tool” that can “further spur developments in education.”
At the district level, Loudoun County Schools has hired a consulting firm to implement "critical race theory" and developed a high school class explicitly teaching "critical race theory." Even the district superintendent admitted the curricula "align with the ideology of CRT." pic.twitter.com/xLJjeXb8eb
