Youngkin administration rescinds CRT policies

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – Republican Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s administration has rescinded a series of policies, memos and other resources related to diversity, equity and inclusion that it has labeled “discriminatory and divisive concepts” in the state’s public education system.

An interim report released Friday outlined the initial findings of a search for such “divisive concepts,” including critical race theory, that Youngkin asked for as of his first acts after being sworn in as governor.

The report pointed to a range of Department of Education materials, memos, a webinar and a math pilot program as examples it said it had identified and rescinded.
