Sure, via documentation and slides in VA over the past few years....
in 2015, when McAuliffe was last governor, the Virginia Department of Education instructed public schools to “embrace critical race theory” in order to “re-engineer attitudes and belief systems.”
in 2019, the Virginia State Superintendent sent a memo to all school districts directly promoting critical race theory, calling it “an important analytic tool” for addressing “power and privilege” in schools.
Loudoun County Public Schools has hosted a lesson plan on its website explicitly teaching “queer theory” and “critical race theory” to kids.
The Northam administration, 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."
On their website, the Virginia Department of Education recommends "Critical Race Theory in Education" as a "best practice" and derives its definitions of "racism," "white supremacy," and "education equity" explicitly from "critical race theory."
To use your word, whether "weak" or not may be open to interpretation. Whether it is suitable is open to interpretation and opinion and deserves an honest discussion. But to say "it doesn't exist in VA" is just not true.
