In the same post, she admitted that students were learning about Critical Race Theory \u2014 among other theories \u2014 in the classroom.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cFor the parents who emailed us about the slides from a high school class that they felt indicated LCPS is teaching Critical Race Theory and demanded we seek answers,\u201d Barts said. \u201cThe video (that has now made its way to social media) is an excerpt of a class discussion in a \u2018Dual Enrollment College Level English course\u2019 (note the college) in which students were exposed to different literacy theories as a way of critiquing different pieces of literature. CRT was an example of a theory that can be applied to literary criticism. Other theories such as structuralism, deconstructionism, and feminism were also shared.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>She concluded by claiming that \u201cLCPS is not teaching CRT nor has our staff been trained in CRT.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Barts is a controversial school board member who was previously disciplined by colleagues for politically-driven social media posts. She was part of a Facebook group called \u201cAnti-Racist Parents of Loudoun County,\u201d where she demanded that parents \u201ccall out statements and actions that undermine our stated plan to end systemic racism.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The Daily Wire <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/loudoun-teachers-attack-parents-protected-free-speech-mulls-banning-trump-flags\"><span>reported<\/span><\/a><span>:&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"12\">\n<p><i><span>Barts also doxxed at least one parent off of Facebook, according to an email newly obtained by The Daily Wire.
