Textbook with 'divisive teachings' nixed by Virginia board [View all]
Virginia school board has decided against buying some new social studies textbooks because of concerns that one of the books encourages divisive teachings, including critical race theory.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that the Williamsburg-James City County school board voted 4-3 on Tuesday to not purchase the books. The textbook of concern is Government in America: People, Politics and Policy.
It is often used in government and politics classes. One citizen claimed it was biased and left-leaning. Another said the cover photograph was a form of indoctrination.
The photo is of a protest outside the U.S. Capitol with signs reading, Stop killing Black people. Students are currently using textbooks that are 12 years old.
