Still Rising Again after All These Years 0

At my local rag, Margaret Edds discusses Virginia Governor Trumpkin’s apparent reluctance to allow schools to teach history that actually happened. Here’s a tiny bit of her article:

Still unfulfilled, however, is Youngkin’s history pledge. With a once-in-seven-years review of Virginia history standards due for completion in November, an opening has arrived. Yet, the recent decision by a Board of Education flush with new Youngkin appointees to delay public hearings on draft standards raises alarm. So does the Youngkins’ dropping from tours of the governor’s mansion — at least for now — a deeply researched narrative about the enslaved people who once lived and worked there.

Such developments must not signal a retreat from a long-overdue, more truthful telling of Virginia history.

Afterthought:

She says “they must not,” but I got a dollar to a doughnut that they do, at least as long as the party of the New Secesh holds power.
