A scandal-hit school board has now launched a study into whether it would be appropriate to reevaluate black people because it previously ignored a landmark secession decision.
in Loudoun County Virginia It was voted 6-3 in favor of launching the study on Tuesday after it was proposed by observer Julie Briskman.
Speaking to Fox5 about his proposal, Briskman said: ‘Today there is a lot about the ‘anti-CRT (Critical Race Theory) movement’ and what we are teaching today. And my board member is looking into the potential harm to illegally operate individual schools against the decision of Pahal Brown v.
Briskman was referring to Loudoun County’s 1968 decision to desegregate schools, a full 14 years after the historic 1954 Brown v Board of Education decision to do so was unconstitutional.
Loudon County Supervisor Julie Briskman called for a vote to support an investigation into the “potential harm” caused by the county to its black constituents.
Briskman said the school district continued to segregate schools for nearly 14 years after the Supreme Court ruled the process unconstitutional.
The issue will now be referred to a board of supervisors and a joint committee made up of school board members that will partner with the black community to recommend solutions.
Briskman claimed there was evidence that supervisors and school boards prevented black students from receiving the same education as white students for nearly fourteen years following a US Supreme Court ruling.
She said the evidence includes a 1956 vote of the board of supervisors in favor of a proposed amendment to Virginia’s constitution to allow the use of public funds for private schools. Briskman said the proposal was introduced to make private education more affordable for white families who did not want their children to attend the integrated public school system.
Action also appears to have been taken to halt funding and reform black schools.
Briskman was also asked about board meeting skirmishes in Loudoun County over the teaching of critical race theory, but suggested that it be viewed as a wage issue to energize locals to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. be used. was being done.
She explained: ‘I just encourage our joint committee or whatever commission comes out to just ignore the outside noise because what’s happening in Fairfax and Loudon County has a lot to do with us in many ways. Something is there. It has less and more to do with the ‘message test’ of 2022 elections and beyond.
Democrats support the teaching of anti-racism initiatives, while Republicans have come out almost equally against it.
Last summer the Board of Supervisors and the School Board issued a joint apology in 1870 for their role in ‘running separate schools, opposing integration and the persistent educational inequalities resulting from these actions’.
Following the release of the statement, some London residents and the local NAACP chapter called for changes to the legislative procedures for funding, increased access to primary classrooms, and restoration.

‘I am a teacher, but I serve God first. And I will not confirm that a biological boy can be a girl and vice versa, because it is against my religion. This is lying to a child. This is child abuse,’ Pei Tanner Krauss said at the school board meeting, which later resulted in her suspension.
The vote to launch the study comes after heated debates about access to important race theory and policies designed to help transgender students.
Loudon County has become a battleground for the culture war of the nation debating hot button issues like CRT and transgender rights.
In April, the county announced that they planned to allocate more than $6 million for ‘equity training’, which was strongly opposed by some residents.
He claimed that the training was part of a pro-CRT push that would lead students to view themselves as victims or oppressors based on their caste.
A rowdy school board meeting debating transgender rights this summer ended with an arrest.
An elementary school teacher, Tanner Cross, sued the school system and was suspended or reinstated after a transgender student refused to use preferred pronouns, saying it was against religious beliefs.
Cross, a physical education teacher, was filmed sharing his beliefs in a meeting. He became a hero in conservative circles, and was also condemned as a radical by online progressives.
Earlier this month an organization Against Critical Race Theory spent half a million dollars on ads criticizing the Loudon County School Board.
The Free to Learn Coalition launches ads during the Washington football team’s Sunday game. They will continue to run on local broadcasts for the next two weeks.
