At the July 12 school board meeting, Erin Grampp announced a resolution that allegedly was against Critical Race Theory (CRT). As we reported earlier, Grampp’s speech was just a wordy rambling speech filled with contradictions that did nothing to condemn Critical Race Theory – https://spotsywire.com/2021/08/08/grampps-complex-crt-resolution/
Look at what Grampp says at 3:15:30 at the July 12 school board meeting (bottom of this post). She is ok with the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) setting the curriculum. Its the very same curriculum that implements CRT as we reported in our previous article – https://spotsywire.com/2021/10/31/critical-race-theory-in-schools/
In the next sentence at 3:15:53, she says the Spotsylvania School board makes decisions for the “best interests of all students”. Is CRT in the best interest of all students ?
Another contradiction happens at 3:18:45. She encourages the VDOE to refrain from CRT but in the same wordy sentence promotes equity in investment. Equity is the implementation of CRT. Equity is not the same as equality. https://spotsywire.com/2021/09/01/the-dangerous-concept-of-equity/
