Elaine Luria (D-VA) criticized Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin\u2019s measures to remove the critical race theory indoctrination scheme from K-12 schools as trying to erase history. Luria made the comments during a video posted to YouTube this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Governor said we need to learn about all history,\u201d she said. \u201cWe need to learn about all history but he\u2019s really tried to erase certain parts of Virginia history from the curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>But critical race theory is not based in history, but rather a revisionist ideology that injects race-based decision-making into every aspect of history and modern life. One of the clearest examples is the fake history on display in the <em>New York Times<\/em> \u201c1619 Project\u201d within which the founding of the United States was based in the maintenance of the institution of slavery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut the thing is that people are scared about it. You know, the sense that they\u2019re scared about what their children are learning in schools,\u201d the swing district Democrat said. \u201cSo I think, you know, the most important way to address it is to be like overwhelmingly empathetic about it. You know, empathetic about the fact that like you know I\u2019m a mother too. I care deeply about what my daughter learns in school.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Luria represents the most evenly split district in Virginia, and is a chief target of the Republican congressional campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC). But Luria\u2019s tack on handling the education issue that saw a Republican sweep in the Commonwealth last year appears to have changed.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>While she now appears to be calling for \u201cempathy\u201d on the critical race theory issue, in the past she has <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/swing-district-dem-calls-opposition-to-critical-race-theory-a-racist-dog-whistle\/\">said<\/a>\u00a0opposition to the indoctrination scheme\u00a0\u201cclearly had overtones of being a racist dog whistle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, there is a perception amongst the right that Democrats are too woke and they wanna kinda bunch all this stuff together,\u201d she said, and continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>And you know, I\u2019ll sit there in armed services committee hearings and you\u2019ll have people, people who are Navy veterans, one of them is a two-star air force general retired, one is a Navy reservist still today, you know railing about the fact that how we\u2019ve made America weaker because the chief of naval operations put some book on the reading list, and we want to teach American soldiers and sailors to hate themselves.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Luria, who is a Navy veteran, appears to be talking about Reps.
