As I said tonight with @JoyAnnReid I am only two years younger then Emmett Till and my lifetime has included much of the Black history this Governor wants to whitewash and eliminate from our classrooms. I won’t let it happen on my watch.
@SenLouiseLucas Since VA Democrats have decided to completely abandon the truth, we'll correct the record: Gov Youngkin's proposed standards will teach ALL of our history, the good and the bad. Any claims to the contrary are false - we encourage you to see for yourself. doe.virginia.gov/boe/meetings/2…
@SenLouiseLucas @JoyAnnReid Good news. This is actually not happening! Excellent work from the Governor.
@SenLouiseLucas @JoyAnnReid what are you even talking about? this is fiction
@SenLouiseLucas @JoyAnnReid We are with you and are eternally grateful for you.
@SenLouiseLucas @MuellerSheWrote @JoyAnnReid I live in Herndon and wrote a protest letter to Ms. Perez [email protected]. What else can we do? This is really shocking.
@SenLouiseLucas @JoyAnnReid Stop teaching oppression start teaching reparations
@SenLouiseLucas @JoyAnnReid Whitewashing? That sounds racists 🤔 Will your full telling of the history include how slavery never would've been possible if the African leaders weren't capturing, torturing, and selling their own people? Or how free black people owned slaves? Or not those parts... 🤨
