Newly elected Virginia Lt. Governor Winsome Sears went toe-to-toe with a CNN host who said that Critical Race Theory was not taught in schools, saying that it has been woven into the curriculum for years.
On Sunday morning, Dana Bash quizzed Sears - the first woman the first woman to become Lt. Governor and first woman of color elected to a statewide office in Virginia - on CNN's State of the Union.
At one point during the interview, Bash said that CRT was not being taught in schools, at which point Sears interrupted her, saying: 'No, no, no it is part of the curriculum.'
Sears, who previously served on Virginia's board of education, continued: 'It's weaved in and out of the curriculum. In 2015, former governor, who was just defeated, McAuliffe, his state board of education had information on how to teach it, so it's weaved in. So you know, it's semantics, but it's weaved in.'
Critical Race Theory was a decisive issue in the recent Governor's race between Glenn Youngkin and Democrate Terry McAuliffe, with parents fed up with the state's woke school boards who don't want their children to be taught that they're bad or good depending on their race.
The use of critical race theory, or CRT, in education has been criticized for its message that the US is built on racism with skin color determining the social, economic, and political differences between each.
Advocates say its teaching is necessary to underline how deeply racism pervades society, critics say it is divisive and paints everyone as a victim or oppressor, with multiple Virginia school board meetings making headlines after parents were filmed clashing with staff over the decision to teach it.

Our woman in the lieutenant governor’s seat, Virginia.
LG-elect Sears is one of the best advocates we can have, whether Virginians or citizens of other states. Hoping that CNN will have the courage to continue to book her.
She’s absolutely right. The truth is, whenever you hear “structural racism”, you’re 2/3 of the way to CRT already.
If CRT is not taught in the schools, then CNN shouldn’t have a problem with it being banned.
I demand that Lieutenant Governor Winsome gets a promotion to Marine Gunnery Sergeant, so we can call her “Gunny Winsome”!!
Seperation of school and state is the only answer.

I heard Winsome speak today. Very impressed.
Winsome Sears is great. TBD on Youngkin.
Intelligent thoughtful black people understand the CRT is just another way to prolong and extend racial animosity for the benefit of political elites and other racial hustlers rather than let it die the natural death that it deserves.
I know Sears from her one term in the house of delegates 20 years ago. I was so disappointed when she did not seek a second term. She is a wonderful person.
I wish they would quit being tactful and every time they get a chance just be blunt and tell these fools “You are either dumber than a box of rocks or you are lying”.
cnn’s world continues to be blown apart.
Post 9 agreed
“Hoping that CNN will have the courage to continue to book her.”
Yeah, that’s gonna happen.
If anything is systemic, it is racist CRT.
Saw that. WS certainly aimed the high beams on Bambi Dana.
Here the CNN interview. Her CRT comments start at the 5 minute mark.
