Critical race theory is in schools, hidden from parents
I think the school systems have been doing everything they can to obfuscate the fact that the curriculum has moved in a very, very opaque way that has hidden a lot of this from parents. We're not going to teach the children to view everything through a
lens of race. To teach our children that one group is advantaged and the other disadvantaged simply because of the color of their skin cuts across everything we know to be true.
There's not a course called critical race theory. The fundamental building blocks of actually accusing one group of being oppressors and another of being oppressed, of actually burdening children today for sins of the past, for teaching our
children to judge one another based on the color of their skin, yes, that does exist in Virginia schools today and that's why I signed the executive order yesterday to make sure that we get it out of our schools.

We will teach all of our history: the good and the bad
We'll start where the future is determined in the classroom preparing Virginia's children to be Career or College ready. Starting today, we will raise standards, raise teacher pay, invest in facilities and children with disabilities.
We will create innovation lab and charter schools of achievement--within the public school system. We will remove politics from the classroom and re-focus on essential math, science and reading. And we will teach all of our history the good and the bad.

Parents should have a say in what is taught in school
We've tried to silence the people most responsible for the lives of young children --- their parents. Parents should have a say in what is taught in school, because in Virginia, parents have a fundamental right to make decisions with regards to
their child's upbringing, education and care. To parents I say, "we respect you. And we will empower you in the education of your children."

We've got to get critical race theory out of the schools
[On CRT in schools]: "We've got to get critical race theory out of the schools," Youngkin told right-wing talk show host Hugh Hewitt. Youngkin vowed to a far-right media personality, "I'm going to tell you, as governor, we will not teach critical race
theory in our schools." He has more recently pledged to "ban" CRT from Virginia schools on "day one," should he win the election next month. He told Fox News that, critical race theory had "moved into our school system and we have to remove it."

Ban critical race theory from being taught in Virginia
Youngkin went on to talk about his plans for Virginia schools, including banning critical race theory from being taught to Virginia students. Critical race theory is an idea that originated in academic circles the
1970s that examines how governmental policies and laws preserve systemic racism. Republican lawmakers in nearly a dozen states have introduced legislation to ban critical race theory in public schools.

Left agenda ends accelerated math, Pledge of Allegiance
Q: How big of an issue will how accelerated radicalism has become in our schools in Northern Virginia? YOUNGKIN: You can add expectations that accelerated math won't be taught anymore up through the 11th grade, that they're going
to try to stop awarding advanced diplomas. We're actually going to take the 4th of July and the Pledge of Allegiance out of the list of things that bind us. This is just part of the agenda of the liberal left led by Terry McAuliffe and Ralph Northam.

Democrats support divisive curriculum: critical race theory
Q: You want to go back to the 1950s and the culture wars?YOUNGKIN: What I find most amazing is that here's Terry [McAuliffe, the Democratic nominee], talking about culture wars, when in fact they support a school system that is actually
teaching the most divisive curriculum, a political agenda and critical race theory. I mean, they're the ones actually trying to fight the culture war and our kids sadly are the ones getting hurt.
