EXCERPT:
Albemarle County Public Schools (ACPS), a district in a far-left county in Virginia, encourages students to make a commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) ideology as a “core competency,” and has an “equity” grading system that guarantees at least 50 percent on incomplete assignments.
According to documents obtained by Defending Education, the county, home to the Charlottesville metro area and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, is fully steeped in “anti-racism” — an ideology used in curriculums to browbeats white students into denying their self-worth as human beings based on race. The majority of ACPS students are white.
“Albemarle Schools don’t only promote a worldview based in social justice ideology but they tell students that they too must hold this worldview,” Erika Sanzi, Senior Director of Communications at Defending Education, told The Federalist. “Teachers’ lessons are judged using an anti-racist vetting tool to ensure they are sufficiently integrating power and privilege and teaching students to resist oppression. This is not normal.”
