How school board meetings turned into a battleground over America’s kids in 2021
Fox News
In 2021, school boards across the country encountered resistance and controversy over ideas like critical race theory and other issues related to gender and sexuality.
Across the country, parents have alleged that school officials failed to adequately respond or retaliated against them for raising concerns about content in schools. Loudoun was no different. Early in 2021, the county was rocked by news that a group of parents had been attempting to compile a list of other residents who opposed CRT.
The relative novelty of some of the content's claims also helped draw attention to the issue. For example, Fox News previously reported on Oregon promoting a teacher training program that sought to dismantle racism in mathematics. One of the materials claimed, among other things, that White supremacy was behind the focus on finding the right answer.
