Virginia school district 'indoctrinating' kids with critical race theory, parents claim in lawsuit

Parents and students in Virginia's Albemarle County have sued the county school board and the district leadership, claiming they have been "indoctrinating" students with critical race theory, thus violating the rights of parents and students under the commonwealth's constitution.

The kids are "being told that they are defined by their race and nothing else," Bangert said. "They're being told that they fit into groups of oppressors or groups of subordinate oppressed based entirely on their race and nothing else, that their success in life or their lack of success in life will be determined by their race." "They're being told that … their success in life or their lack of success in life will be determined by their race." "If students disagree with the ideology laid out in this program, they will be labeled racists."
