Alliance Defending Freedom Lawsuit

Judge Dismisses Lawsuit Accusing Virginia School District Of Imposing Discriminatory Anti-Racism Policy by Ryan Mills According to the lawsuit: the Charlottesville-area school board adopted an anti-racism policy in 2019, and launched an anti-racism pilot program last spring at an area middle school. Students were instructed to “view everyone and everything through a distorted racial lens.” The program classified students by race, and labeled people as “perpetually privileged oppressors” or as the “perpetually victimized” oppressed. White, Christian students were taught that they were members of the “dominant culture” that oppresses “subordinate” students of color and non-Christians. English teachers were instructed to focus on students’ whiteness and white privilege, and the schools started using social studies books that instructed students to view history through a critical theory lens, according to court documents. The instruction “is designed to indoctrinate students in ‘anti-racism’ ideology, which actually promotes racism,” the lawsuit states. The plaintiffs argued that the board’s anti-racism policy violates the Virginia Constitution, and students’ rights to be free from government discrimination based on race, color, sex, or religion, and their rights to free speech. They also argued the policy violates parents’ rights to make decisions about their children’s upbringing and education.

Well... I don't know how you could teach this stuff without reference to race,
religion, or region on the map. I wonder if the story has a bit more material.
