The proposed Standards by @GovernorVA removes MLK, Jr. from the elementary curriculum. This selective erasure of one of the most prominent people of color in American history calls into question this entire revision of the proposed Standards. #erasure docs.google.com/document/d/1Zk…

⛓️The inital rewrite of the proposed Standards which were made public on November 11, 2022 entirely removed Martin Luther King, Jr. from the elementary curriculum.
This selective erasure of one of the most prominent Black men in American history calls into question this entire revision of the proposed Standards. This was partially addressed on November 16th, 2022 with the sudden addition of the “Martin Luther King, Jr. Day” to
SOL K.7b. However, the public needs to be aware that this last-minute half-measure still removes Martin Luther King, Jr. from the 1st-grade and 2nd-grade SOLs that have been in place for years.
