Virginia Pushes State Narratives Into School Curricula
Liberty Check
- Virginia lawmakers are advancing a proposal to reshape public school curricula under the banner of “inclusivity,” requiring the study of numerous marginalized groups—explicitly including LGBTQ+ individuals.
- If approved, all history and social studies instruction must promote these groups’ experiences, enforced by the Virginia Board of Education and implemented in every classroom and textbook across the state.
- The legislation forces curricula to prioritize progressive narratives, especially those involving sexuality and gender identity.
- Textbooks would have to include materials for state-designated observances, such as LGBTQ+ History Month and Black History Month.
- Lawmakers are also moving to mandate a single, partisan interpretation of the January 6th Capitol events and restrict alternative viewpoints in classrooms.
This mandate risks silencing dissent and eroding parental rights, which Justice Alito has warned are undermined by such ideologically driven policies.
“They are clearly designed to present certain values and beliefs as things to be celebrated and certain contrary values and beliefs as things to be rejected,” Alito stated.
Declining voter turnout among conservatives in Virginia has handed progressives legislative momentum, threatening the constitutional balance of the classroom and the broader culture.
Stay informed and safeguard educational freedom—your voice and your vote are crucial to defending America’s founding principles in schools.
The Constitution must be defended.
