Virginia’s newly elected governor banned teaching critical race theory in his first month in office. Gov. Glenn Youngkin promoted a government email to which parents could report teachers.
He said parents can report public-school teachers if they believe they’re “behaving objectionably.”
Virginia’s newly elected Republican governor, who has banned critical race theory in public schools, is launching a tip line to report teachers of “divisive subjects.”
In a Monday interview with the conservative radio host John Fredericks, Gov. Glenn Youngkin said parents could email the state government to report any public-school teachers they believed to be “behaving objectionably.”
Youngkin said: “We’re asking for folks to send us reports and observations that they have that will help us be aware of things like privilege bingo, be aware of their child being denied their rights that parents have in Virginia. And we’re going to make sure we catalog it all.
“This gives us a great insight into what’s happening at a school level, and that gives us further ability to make sure we’re rooting it out.”
