Virginia’s gubernatorial race continues to heat up over the influence of critical race theory (CRT) in K-12 education, with Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin vowing to ban the Marxist ideology “on day one” if elected, and his Democratic opponent Terry McAuliffe insisting that it has never been taught in public schools.
With only two days to go until Election Day and early voting underway, Youngkin pledged on Sunday during an interview with Fox News’ “Life, Liberty & Levin” that he would ban the teaching of CRT, which he said divides children into groups of “oppressors” and the “oppressed,” pitting them against each other.
