‘Radical' school boards ‘topple’ across the United States as parents fight back

Sky News host James Morrow says “radical school boards” have been “toppled” across the United States as parents fight back against the left-wing ideology which is being pushed onto their children.

"If there's one good thing that has come out of this hideous pandemic, and especially the two years of on and off home schooling that came with it ... it is that parents have finally gotten to see what is being taught in their classrooms, and they don't like it,” Mr Morrow said.

“That was a major factor in Republicans' routing of Democrats across Virginia and in fact the United States last week.

“The teaching of critical race theory, and trans ideology, and even the attempt to sic the FBI on parents who spoke out against these outrages was just too much.

“But it looks like these woke Napoleons have met their Waterloo at last.

“It wasn't just in Virginia … across the nation, school boards were toppled by parents – many not politically active before they started being branded as domestic terrorists for caring about their children's education – determined to take back control.”

California School Investigating Teacher After Quiz Included a Question Criticizing Conservatives

A California high school teacher is being investigated by their school after parents and students took issue with a quiz given to students last week that included a question appearing to criticize conservatives.

The multiple-choice question asked a social science class at Whitney High School in Rocklin to identify "a group of complete idiots," with possible answers being: "A) KKK; B) all of Florida; C) Fox news; D) Texans."

Parent Jessa Krissovich, who shared a screenshot of the question with FOX40 Sacramento, told the news outlet that "it sounded unbelievable."

"We all have different beliefs," Krissovich said. "This is the United States and we all come from different backgrounds and everybody should be okay with who they are."

Another parent, who wished to remain anonymous, told the station that comments targeting Republicans are not uncommon for this social studies teacher but that this is the first time they are being looked into.

A former student of the teacher, Joel Alquicira, told KCRA-TV that he understands the teacher is "just trying to make a joke" but that this type of question "shouldn't be on a test."

The school's principal, Justin Cutts, sent a message to staff, students and families after concerns were raised about the quiz question, stating that an investigation is underway.

"A quiz was assigned to students by a social science teacher," Cutts said, according to KCRA-TV. "However, students, families and the Rocklin community have raised concern about the class assignment."

"The Whitney High School Administration Team and the Rocklin Unified School District recognizes and shares their concerns and is conducting a thorough investigation," he continued. "Whitney High and Rocklin Unified is committed to providing each student, family, and staff with a safe and welcoming environment."

Cutts added that while personnel matters are confidential, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken.

Former Nevada AG Adam Laxalt Slams Critical Race Theory: ‘We’re Not Going To Teach Kids To Hate Our Country’

Nevada’s former Attorney General Adam Laxalt (R) recently announced his candidacy for the Senate in the 2022 midterms. At the forefront of his campaign, he will push back against Leftist indoctrination in schools, specifically, Critical Race Theory (CRT). In an interview with Townhall, Laxalt shared his thoughts on CRT and what he plans to do going forward to prevent it from permeating schools across the country.

“I think that right now, the average voter in Nevada feels like that this Leftist radicalism is invading every aspect of their lives. It’s something that no one voted for, no one has asked for. The acceleration of the pace of it being pushed into daily living for Nevadans is astonishing,” Laxalt said in our interview. “I think that Critical Race Theory is one of the main constructs that is being used to force this radicalism on our country.”

Laxalt, who is a veteran and a father of three, assumed the position as attorney general in 2015 through 2019. He notes that CRT goes beyond just schools – that it’s an overall concept that our nation is one of oppression and people should feel apologetic or oppressed based on their race.

“Some schools are saying they’re not teaching it, that they don’t teach Critical Race Theory as a curriculum. But the parents are having none of it. Yeah, there’s not a booklet being handed around that has ‘Critical Race Theory’ as the subject line, but they understand that their kids are being taught these really negative values about our country, and they’re being taught, in some cases, to hate each other,” Laxalt explained. “They’re being taught to judge each other based on the color of their skin. All these things that we’ve spent generations and generations in the country getting away from. It seems like we’re going backwards.”

In October, Laxalt issued remarks at a school board meeting in Nevada about the harm of CRT and “cancel culture” – essentially intimidating people into silence. “At its core, Critical Race Theory is this concept that we are founded on white supremacy and we are a fundamentally, inherently racist and oppressive nation,” Laxalt said at the meeting. “We will not let [Leftists] impoison our children with this rhetoric. We will stand up for them.” Laxalt’s remarks earned him a standing ovation.

This week, Virginia’s Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe lost the election to Republican businessman Glenn Youngkin. As we covered, McAuliffe stated during his campaign that parents shouldn’t be involved in their children’s curriculum. Subsequent polls after the election showed that education was one of the top issues for voters.

On the contrary, Laxalt said as a Senator he would implement a system for parents to contact his office with concerns about CRT curriculum being taught in Nevada schools. And to date, Laxalt has received endorsements from several key Republican figures, including Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, and former President Donald Trump.

“I think it’s important that we [elected officials] be the voice for these parents,” Laxalt said. “We’re not going to teach kids to hate our country and to hate each other.”
