Glenn Youngkin is tapping into some of the intensity that has pervaded school board meetings in Virginia and other parts of the country over the last few months.
Voters at a Youngkin event inside a local bar in the quaint downtown of Culpeper, an hour’s drive southwest of Washington, D.C., had a difficult time defining critical race theory, but they were certain that schools were making racial tensions worse by discussing it. “Critical race theory is exactly what it says,” Joyce Brown, a local farmer and grandmother of eight, said when asked how to define the term. “They’re trying to make blacks against the whites.
Youngkin mentioned what is now known in shorthand as “CRT” during his remarks to supporters, and said it “teaches our children to view everything through a lens of race.” PolitiFact conducted “Youngkin cites a collection of memos and seminars, but no evidence that critical race theory is being taught in each of the state’s 1,825 public schools. Critical race theory is not mentioned in the state’s Standards of Learning. A growing list of localities say they do not teach it,” PolitiFact wrote.
