What's this?

False...on just about everything you said

I'm not getting defensive. You asked for examples "that resonated with me." I provided them, no? You did not ask "for examples of why Virginia parents are suddenly so upset" Going forward, please be consistent. Again, you were provided examples. When that wasn't enough, you moved the goalposts...with "So over 6 years there have been a few memo's stating CRT has some merits." No, as I have already said, the list was examples that resonated, not an entire list over 6 years.
CRT became a sub issue from a larger issue of education, in general....how it was dealt with COVID, alerting parents of reading material, silencing them in PTO mtgs, and so on and so on. CRT was one piece of that. The error, in fact, by TMAC was with respect to books in school...not CRT that set his campaign in a dumpster fire. CRT was an issue of a larger issue (education), not the issue.
Uhm, congrats on being an atheist???
