Loudoun County Requires Parents to Sign NDA-Like Form to View CRT-Style Curriculum

Landon Mion Oct 26, 2021 

Parents of students attending Loudoun County Public Schools are being required to sign a form similar to a non-disclosure agreement to view part of a curriculum linked to critical race theory.  LCPS spent about $7,700 to become a licensed member of the Second Step Programs, a branch of Committee for Children, a progressive nonprofit.   The presentation of the material can only be provided in person and parents are required to acknowledge that the viewing of the curriculum is "not a public event" and prohibits "copying, broadcast or recording of any kind."

Portions of the curriculum can be downloaded from LCPS' website.................."Terry McAuliffe and his allies want to keep parents in the dark and shut them out of schools while they force their radical political agenda into classrooms," Youngkin spokesperson Christian Martinez told Townhall. "McAuliffe pushed Critical Race Theory into Virginia’s education system when he was governor, but Glenn Youngkin will ban it on day one so kids can learn how to think instead of what to think. That’s why Republicans, Independents, and Democrats are coming together in support of Glenn Youngkin for governor.".......To Read More.......

My Take - How is it legal to not permit the public to see public records, and no matter how they frame this, it's a program that will be implemented in their schools, so how can this not be public records?  How can any NDA be imposed on the public to see what belongs to the public?  

I have to believe this NDA clabber is unenforceable.  And if someone violated it what would this school board do?  Sue them?  After all, Virginia has sunshine laws, which in Virginia are called "The Freedom of Information Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels in Virginia."  

Virginia also has the "Virginia Open Meetings Law, under the Freedom of Information Act, legislates the methods by which public meetings are conducted", so are they going to court and say these parents right to transparency is wrong, the State's transparency laws are wrong, and claim it's wrong to expose the public to information they have a right to know in accordance with Virginia law?  

What arrogance by these people.   CRT should now be the least of their concerns, because there's a move to investigate this Board of Education criminally over rape.  As the evidence starts to pile up against them, you have to wonder how can these people not end up in jail for being complicit in concealing a crime, and a serious crime to boot.  While they claimed they weren't aware of this rape, we now know they lied, it was a crime they were informed about and tried to conceal.

One thing is clear, this Board of Education will not be there after the next election, short of massive voter fraud, and these people need to be criminally charged....then we'll see the arrogance disappear.... especially, if found guilty, they end up in prison filled with rapists.  

That will be interesting.
