Critical Race Theory Tag

The gubernatorial election in Virginia is just three weeks away on November 2, and the race is tight. Democrat Terry McAuliffe, who held the position previously from 2014 to 2018, has a slight edge over Republican newcomer Glenn Youngkin. The race has attracted a lot of national attention due to the battle over the direction of public schools in Loudoun County.

A math and business teacher at Hanover High School received a termination letter over social media posts she made that expressed her opposition to Critical Race Theory (CRT), as well as the LGBTQ agenda in public schools. The teacher, Kari MacRae, says she has sought out a lawyer and will consider her options. Elected to the Bourne School Board in May 2021, MacRae made TikTok videos for her campaign in which she said she would make sure CRT wouldn't be taught in Bourne schools, and expressed her opposition to schools teaching that students "can choose whether or not they can be a girl or a boy." She has refused calls to resign from the school board position.
