Democrats Are Going To Extraordinary Lengths To Lie About Critical Race

A Virginia parents group has identified no fewer than 20 separate examples of critical race theory in Virginia schools. Some of the school districts accused have emphatically denied teaching CRT in the classroom, despite the documents and events the parents highlighted.

Parents Defending Education provided 20 examples of schools promoting critical race theory — a framework that involves deconstructing aspects of society to discover systemic racism beneath the surface.

The list includes government contracts with CRT-promoting organizations, reading materials school districts have endorsed, so-called "anti-racism" policies, high school classes on "intersectionality," an "Equity" plan promoting the 1619 Project and the Southern Poverty Law Center's materials, and a $20,000 payment to Ibram X. Kendi. These school districts insisted to Fox News that they do not promote CRT.

Fox News asked Fairfax County Public Schools about the Kendi payment, a summer learning guide for second-grade kids that includes a "Woke Kindergarten" video, a community survey to develop a new "Anti-Racism" policy, and a $49,600 contract with NYC Leadership Academy to develop an "Anti-Bias Community Engagement Policy."

"None of this content promotes critical race theory," Helen Lloyd, an LCPS spokesperson, told Fox News on Thursday. "LCPS does not teach critical race theory nor is it included in any of the courses offered to staff. The district does deal with issues of race and racism. The district contends with issues of cultural diversity and the difference in positioning various cultural traditions and identities in society. Neither of these means the division is teaching CRT."

Likewise, Fox News asked Loudoun County Public Schools about the $34,000 contract with The Equity Collaborative, about $3,125, which went toward "Critical Race Theory Development."

Wayne Byard, an LCPS spokesman, told Fox News that the CRT development training "was given to a few upper-level administrators and explained how CRT was developed, not how to teach it or include it in our professional development."

"Loudoun County Public Schools does not teach Critical Race Theory (CRT) as part of its curriculum," Byard maintained. "CRT is not, and has never been, part of the social studies curriculum in Virginia."

He defined CRT as "an analytical tool used primarily in university-level courses. Developed in the 1970s, CRT was first used to help law school students think critically about the impact of historical and present-day racism on the legal system. In the 1990s, some colleges incorporated CRT in coursework to help educators understand inequities in the educational system."



"CRT has been discussed in LCPS staff development offerings to help staff understand a major school of thought," Byard added. "It is discussed as an academic theory and is not being used to ‘indoctrinate’ students or staff."
