Summary
Alleigh Mare, President of Free to Learn Action, a non-profit that was essential to the educational debate in Loudoun County, a deciding issue for voters that surrounded much of the Virginia Governor’s race earlier this month. Mare states that teachers are actually against most of Critical Race Theory and activism curriculum and are ‘frustrated with what's going on’ and ‘don't know how to respond or whether they can respond to their leadership within their school’. She says that the main pushers for this educational curriculum are the ‘activist class’. Meaning that ‘the teachers unions, superintendents’ and the ‘leadership structure’ are the main people ‘who have pushed the curriculum or policy positions’ into schools.
