@alexwagner I’ll answer some questions you asked abt Va. McAuliffe is not trusted outsideNoVa. The issue w #CRT isn’t about teaching true history of race & slavery. It is as @GeorgeWill said “Parents want children to get an education not indoctrination.” McAulliffe ads about GY.
The only person who lies more than Trump is Stoney, RVA mayor.All the #lies & vicious attacks are coming from VaDemocrats. NOT top GOP state. The @RichAndersonRPV has brought the party back to mainstream Va & the ticket is more diverse, younger than Dems. Extremists run Dem party
Slavery wasn’t ignored in Va Scools before 1970 as a Journo wrote. I was in Va schools then. It was taught in 4 th grade Va History in a book showing arrival of 1stAfricans in 2619 marched off boat near Jamestown in chains, manacles, around necks, hands. Realistic depiction at 10
People with an agenda to divide Virginians on race claim this as a political device to justify destructive mistakes made in managing RVAand Virginia. Playing the race card It’s not ##CRT asTM tries to smear GY. Economic performance is also bad. So distract- lie & demonize.
As Carville said in @voxdotcom Democrats have a woke problem. True. In Va & in DC. That’s what’s driven voters away & former groups like Va Chamber not to endorse TM. The dog whistle isn’t being used by GYbut by TM. Youngkin is not racist or anti LGBTQ. I’ll forward tweets to you
More advanced explanations given in HS. Acknowledged slavery was part of the Civil War. Nonsense that there was a lost cause narrative. Never part of any course, family or community conversation. Nor in college. Now, no one I knew ever dressed up in blackface either. @alexwagner
1619 obviously.
Governorva had blackface photos in his Med School yearbook. AGMarkHerring admitted he twice dressed up in blackface at parties while in college at UVA. I went to @virginia_tech a very conservative school w 200 women of 10,000 & maybe a dozen black students. Noone used blackface
LGBTQ Group listed @GlennYoungkin company as the best place to work for in DC. Obviously not racist & proposes to include the 5 Va HBCUs in each of his budgets. McAuliffe refused to do that or eliminate grocery tax.
FillerCorn, Simon, Saslaw in GA refused to give fed $ to HBCUs
