It’s good that Youngkin banned CRT in schools because it’s an important symbolic gesture signaling that at least somebody finally noticed there’s a problem.
But it will have zero practical effect because there’s a whole generation of teachers who believe that this is what teaching is. They were taught very little else. They are excited about it and will continue doing what they’ve been trained to do. Nobody can bypass the need to go back and educate another generation of teachers who will know how to do something other than CRT.
As the article I linked in the previous post shows, there’s no shortcut. No political solution and no instant cure. Either put in the work or wait for the disillusionment to set in.
