In a letter, 133 Virginia school superintendents chided Youngkin’s education department over its audit that broadly scrapped diversity resources offered by the state. They said the report could “set public education Virginia back many years,” protested not being consulted.

The CDC includes schools as an indoor public setting, but these recommendations mean little in Virginia since it's 1 of 6 states in the U.S. that has banned mask mandates in schools

Youngkin's new education department has scrapped dozens of resources for schools related to equity and culturally responsive and inclusive teaching. The move is part of Youngkin's executive order taking aim at "divisive concepts" and "Critical Race Theory."https://t.co/SCVn3SbiXV
