Virginia: Far-Left Activists Make List Targeting Critics of CRT in School Curriculum…

In a June 10 Facebook post, the Hate-Free Schools Coalition of Albemarle County (HFSC) posted the call to action, saying “these are your neighbors, friends, and family.” The message describes the controversial curriculum as “anti-racism and LQBTQIA+ [sic] inclusive,” avoiding the more problematic label of Critical Race Theory. After publishing the list of names and their respective districts, the organization warns: “Make no mistake that individuals who hold these beliefs are dangerous to our children. Dangerous to all children but in particular LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC children.” The post encourages its audience to communicate with the people on the list, by phone or in person, and try to change their minds. “Racists can’t hide,” it concludes.

A grassroots movement against CRT has come underway in Albemarle County, leaving many pro-CRT groups fearful about the ideology’s future propagation in public schools. As Breitbart News previously reported, “As ACPS’s radical policies gain ground, concerned parents have been attempting to opt their children out of courses that they believe are ‘fundamentally racist,’ and, in the case of gender theory, ‘should be left up to parents to teach their kids.’”

Indeed, one concerned parent described the destructiveness of the ideology, citing her son’s experience:

But we are realizing that his school is pointing out the skin color differences amongst him and his friend. And in doing so, perhaps risks planting an idea in his non-racist, 12-year-old brain that he is somehow more privileged and dominant because of his white skin. And perhaps this is causing the exact harm that we as a school, a community, and a nation should be trying to prevent.

…

What good comes from making a child feel ashamed of who they are – or might be?

In an earlier Facebook post, the group lobbed even more extreme attacks on those opposed to CRT, while simultaneously attempting to assail Breitbart News’s original exposé of Albemarle County Public Schools’ (ACPS) racial indoctrination curricula. In part, HFSC stated that the “parents are threatening legal action and seek to deny that gender identity exists and are putting our children’s lives at risk by taking this stance and pushing it to this level of exposure, perpetuating harmful attacks against our community.” (emphasis added)…
